"Relief that my father-in-law is in good hands!"

About: Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital (Wonford) / Neurology

My father-in-law has been suffering from the effects of Parkinson's for a while but only recently has he received a diagnosis from the doctor because there was a long waiting list for appointments. My husband and I live oversees and are in contact with my mother-in-law who expressed great relief and joy that the doctor was overseeing her husband's case.

She is not one to offer praise lightly. She said that the doctor was diligent, respectful, kind, thorough and reassuring and determined to return her husband to a condition where he would be comfortable, happier and stronger. It is often the case that people leave reviews when they are dissatisfied, so I wanted to balance this out. It is a huge relief for my husband and for me to know that the doctor is taking care of my father-in-law in a way that allows him dignity and agency. Thank you doctor.
