"Eye care experience"

About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

Anything else?

On Monday last (8thapril) I visited the ophthalmology dept. as an out patient, concerning "floaters "in my eye.my appointment was for ten forty so I arrived about ten minuets early. The waiting room was very full so I had about an hours wait. No big deal,I did'nt mind ad all. All I will say is that I was waiting,I noticed how all the staff were very efficient, very friendly and so polite with everybody. It was a pleasure to sit and watch them. When it came to my turn, the young nurse was very friendly and put me at my ease straightaway. Then I saw the doctor who was again very friendly and helpful.i am to return in six weeks for a check up. I shall look forward to coming back again.

Yours sincerely. Walt hindle
