"Quick diagnosis and treatment"

About: 79 Russell Street - Dr Swami

I have been a patient of this surgery for a long time and I use it regularly due to long term medical conditions.

Recently I was suffering from new symptoms due to severe headaches and I went to see one of the GP’s there as an emergency appointment. I was checked thoroughly and was told to go and see an optician straight away for a vision test and to have my eyes dilated and to be checked thoroughly. I left the doctors surgery and went straight to my opticians with a note from the doctor .

I was checked by the opticians as requested and a problem was picked up . I was sent to A&E straightaway where I was seen by an ophthalmologist and I had several tests done . I was diagnosed with a condition and am on medication . Had it not been for this GP and his quick actions it would have gone untreated and not been picked up so quickly and could have led to loss of vision. I am so grateful to this doctor and the surgery for giving me the best care as always. I am so glad that I am a patient at this practice and they deserve all the praise . They give you a personal caring service as a family GP should . They are exceptional and a rarity in thirds times .
