Dr Mayet has been my doctor for just over 2 years, since I moved to Witham, well I say 2 years but I have only just been registered with him as I was originally assigned to another doctor in the same practise but I like Dr Mayet so he has always been the Doctor I have asked to see so recently I have officially moved to him. I would obviously rather not see a doctor at all but recently I have been diagnosed with a fairly serious problem that means I need to see one fairly regular. Dr Mayets diagnosis of my issues has been very impressive, I suffer from a rare condition that has shown itself up as COPD and he could easily have stuck with that diagnosis, luckily he decided he wanted me to go for some futher tests which have shown a much more serious problem, I am sure a large number of doctors I have used in the past would have been happy with the first diagnosis. I have found Dr Mayet to be very helpful and he has always given me the time required to ask the questions that I need to in my current situation, One helpful thing that he does is always have some form of printed out information (either from the internet or prepared by him) ready for me when I go there so I am able to take something away to read later. I find that his communication skills are excellent, I am sure that during recent vists I have the appearance of a villiage idiot as I sit there trying to take everything in and understand what is going wrong with my body, he knows exactly what level of language I require to help me understand the problems and what will happen to me going forward, he has also been very through with the information he has given me, so much so that the consultants I am now seeing are impressed with 'my' level of knowledge. I am also a recent ex smoker and normally that is a good reason for a lecture from the doctor, all smokers know they shouldnt smoke (its not new...) Dr Mayet has never lectured me on it, he has appreciated my situation where being stressed and trying to give up smoking isnt easy, but he has provided me with all the help and support I needed to give up - without treating me like a child.... I have now quit smoking, it was my 5th attempt, but a lot easier with his support. I would certainly recommend Dr Mayet to anyone in the area, so much so my partner now sees him when required.
