"Caring staff at cardiology"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Cardiology

(as a service user),

I have had long term annual testing for Mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation. In May my echocardiogram was unsatisfactory so I had a TOE at Forth Valley Cardiology unit. This was followed in late September by a cycle based echocardiogram…… a bit uncomfortable but the Doctors and nurses and technicians were so caring and explained everything. 

I can not fault them in any way. Every member of staff was so caring.
Yesterday I had a face to face consultation with my Consultant who could not have been more helpful. He took as much time as I required to talk through every angle of my medical situation. 
Thank you so much to all at the Cardiology unit at FVRH…… you work so well together for the care of people like me whose hearts are compromised.

Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Dear Lornahappy

I was so pleased to read your story and I know the rest of the team will be delighted to hear this lovely feedback. It sounds as though you have been through quite a bit in recent months and I am sorry you had to have some extra tests this year. But it looks like we got some useful information which has helped us to help you and that's great. I am really pleased your recent consultation went well and that you've had time, kindness and good information as part of your experience in Cardiology. That's what we are all about!

Thanks again for taking the time to let us know about your experiences with us.

With best wishes

Catherine
