Review titled A&E visit
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Kate - Posted on 22 November 2022
I attended a&e on Saturday night (19.12.22). I had palpitations and being only 12 weeks pregnant with a previous ectopic I am very nervous. I had an ecg and had my blood tests taken and then was asked to wait in the urgent treatment care to see a doctor. I saw a male doctor and I wanted to send gratitude and appreciation to this doctor. After basically saying there is nothing wrong with me and that I just need some TLC, I walked away from that hospital feeling very content, cared about and that my worries had been heard. The doctor explained all of my results were normal, he empathized with my feelings and even got his decision making confirmed by gynecology to ensure that his decision was accurate. He never made me feel for one moment that I was taking his time away and was so kind with his words and reassurance. In this world where they are a lot of problems I need to ensure he knew I was so grateful for him in that moment and on that day. We spend a lot of time complaining about things we don’t have but what a doctor you do have. I am deeply grateful to you doctorand i appreciate you so much! Thank You!

Review titled Non-existent appointment
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 20 September 2022
My 83 year old husband was sent a letter asking him to phone regarding an appointment and was asked to attend wigan health Centre at Boston House, Wigan on Monday 19 September at 10.25 am. Has multiple mobility problems but arrived on time and was told by receptionist the appointment didn't exist. He phoned today to complain, a standard apology given, no explanation and was given a new appointment time. Not good enough!!
