"They made me feel comfortable"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Dermatology

(as the patient),

I attended the dermatology clinic recently for a procedure with Pamela and her team. I just wanted to say how lovely they were, they made me feel so easy and relaxed which was so helpful because although I'd been before I was nervous because it was for the skin above my eye. As far as I could understand Pamela was learning so there were three others members of staff there. I didn't mind this as it meant there were experienced staff there in case anything went wrong. It took me nearly two weeks to get the results which showed that it was caused by sun damage and wasn't cancerous. I think two weeks was a reasonable waiting time as I know how busy they are. I just wanted to share my thanks with the team for making me feel easy on the day, it's nice to feel comfortable in those situations.

Thank you for telling us of your experience of our clinic. Pamela will be delighted to hear of the positive outcome, especially as a new member of our team.

We were especially glad to hear you found our company relaxing, it is hard work appearing calm at times, but it is so much easier when we can involve the patient in conversation. Great news that it is nothing to worry about, I hope everything is healing well.


Thanks again

David
