"My daughters medical appointments"

(as a parent/guardian),

My daughter was referred to paediatric endocrine dept at wishaw general. This was a daunting time for us both as it was something I didn't know much about and was trying to keep a brave front for my daughter.  Her appointments are within Dr Rajagopal's clinic and we have been going there for many years now.

Dr Rajagopal is the kind of Dr you want your child to be assessed by. Her caring, sincere and empathetic nature reassures you she will do her best in terms of your child's health. She was lovely on each and every occasion. Curious and very knowledgeable and a fantastic listener. Throughout our visits she would explain, communicate and make my daughter feel very at ease talking about  school and various other topics she knew wee girl liked. I personally feel she went above and beyond in a way that made me feel valued as a mum and treated my daughter with dignity and respect whilst assessing her at appointments. 

I think nothing is a problem for Dr rajogopol and I'm hoping that other family's who's children attend hospital have the same experience we have had.

Dear Stonesj33,

Thanks so much for telling us about your experience with Paediatrics and in particular Dr Rajagopal. As Keir said we'll be sure to let Dr Rajagopal read your comments - which I'm sure will be most welcome. The staff within Paediatrics work really hard and in particular over the last 18 months or so and so positive feedback like yours is a real boost!

Thanks again.

Laura
