Hope I never have to return

"Hope I never have to return"

About: Southampton NHS Treatment Centre

I was already a nervous wreck before I atttended this clinic and I have been since I left it!

At one point there were 4 people plus myself in the room where I had 3 roots removed from a tooth.

Not one of the staff introduced themselves to me to the point I thought the person sat on a stool was a trainee and was infact the surgeon! Despite having a good idea of what the procedure involved, part of which included sedation, nothing was explained to me on the day.

There is more I could add to this review but it would take forever!

Is basic politeness /common courtesy a thing of the past?

I know the NHS are pushed to their limits but good manners cost nothing and I was truly treated as a number, not a person.

There is more I could add to this review but it would take forever!
