"Very unprofessional!"

About: Priory Hospital

Had a consultation booked via insurance company. First thing the grumpy receptionist asked for, was my debit card! Told me to complete a form (No space for any answers). She then gave me a slip of paper telling me my consultation would be £190! Asked me then to sit in a very 'brown' old fashioned waiting room! Called in by the consultant who never even shook my hand but merrily commenced a conversation with another gentleman, completely turning his back on me. A flight of stairs later, when only at tbe top did he ask me if i was okay with stairs!!!

Will keep the consultation private for obvious reasons. But suffice it to say, I was out within 15 minutes. Twice the phone rang during my consultation. Twice the consultant picked it up!!

His mobile also rang, he looked but did not answer. Terrible service, rude and arrogant staff, plus very little bed side manner from the constant! I would refuse to attend an appointment here anytime soon!

Thank you for your feedback. The experience you describe is certainly not what we would expect. The public nature of this website and our duty to protecting your confidentiality means that I cannot respond in great detail here, but I wanted to reassure you and anyone else reading this that experiences like the one you describe are extremely rare and certainly not what we wish for our patients.

To enable me to look into this thoroughly and investigate the concerns you have raised please feel free to contact Elaine Collins, Director of Clinical Services on elaine.collins@bmihealthcare.co.uk who will liaise with the departments involved and provide you with direct feedback.

Kind regards,
