I have been attending this clinic now for 30 years, and have seen it come full circle...
The big problem has again come back just as it was back in the day... Blood tests!
What a great step forward it was to take blood in the clinic. Now its back to the old days of 1 hour plus waiting to have a blood test!
I am the patients son, and the care received by my father from Dr Firth was outstanding.
He listened to us, then explained my fathers complicated situation very thoroughly. I would highly recommend Dr Firth to other patients.
In the 7 years since my kidney transplant (which was carried out at Addenbrookes) I have been seen many times by Dr Firth at the clinics and have always found him to be an excellent doctor in all respects.
In short a excellent doctor in a very good hospital.
Dr Firth was very thorough. He was very reassuring and explained everything in terms that I could understand. Very professional but at the same time came across as very caring. Importantly ...he listened. My wife came with me and he didn't ignore her and spoke to both of us which to us was very important.
We weren't kept waiting.
Dr Firth had a student doctor with him which is good and important for the future of medicine.
The nurse present who did the registration procedures was very pleasant.
