"Visit to Pain Management Clinic - Outpatient..."

About: Russells Hall Hospital

Anything else?

My visit was for long standing pain in arms and neck which I've been told is spondylosis. I worry about hospital/medical visits as I've had bad experiences in past at other hospitals and due to my own general anxiety, but today's visit went very well. I was seen by 3 separate people, each clinician was polite and efficient and I didn't have that long to wait between appointments. The pain management consultant was polite, listened to what I said and treated me courteously. I felt that he was interested in what I said and he explained treatment options to me at length. I came away feeling that this was a positive experience and I felt better for having seen the staff in this department.
