"The doctor was very helpful"

I had an outpatient appointment last week with one of the STH neurologists, Dr Hewamadumma. This was in relation to headaches I have been suffering for the last 14 months. My GP and I had worked together constructively on various approaches including medication and self-help but we were not able to resolve it, hence the hospital appointment.  

Dr Hewamadumma was very helpful, had read my notes carefully and listened to me well. I felt very comfortable with him and he combined clinical expertise with a very human approach. The diagnosis still isn't fully clear, but we have a couple of options to try and I am now taking a new medication and also following his advice on improving my sleep. I am starting to feel better and am very grateful.
