Dr Joseph McGilligan

Written by a NHS patient at Woodlands Surgery

I have previously been disappointment and felt let down by the treatment I have received at Woodland Surgery over the years, so much to I do not like to visit this surgery as its a stressful experience. However, I can safely say that Dr Joseph McGilligan was amazing. It was the first time I felt like I was being listened to as a person and not a statistic to get me in an out the door. He was engaging, actively listened, asked questions and discussed what medicine he was providing and why. He was also the first Dr to ever suggest and allergy test to see if this can help identify anything, where all others have ignored this option. He even noted I had other medical conditions / my age and ask how these were / I was then went on to discuss other tests he would do and possible treatment. I was very impressed and its restored my faith in seeing a Dr again.

Dr McGilligan was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He diagnosed skin conditions quickly and has booked me in to have them dealt with promptly. He completely put my mind at ease. He also helped by looking at a lesion my father has on his nose and gave feedback on that too which was a great help.

I went to see Dr McGilligan with a suspect mole that had changed appearance despite having been previously diagnosed as benign. He was of the opinion it was nothing to worry about, but to be sure, and for my peace of mind, he offered to remove it himself, within the week. Throughout the procedure which was quick and painless, he kept me informed about what he was doing, what the aftercare would be and when I could expect the results. All this was above and beyond the service I was expecting when I first visited the surgery. I haven’t the results yet - it’ll be a week or so before that happens, but I’m extremely happy with my treatment so far and would strongly recommend this doctor.

He explained what the problem was with my shoulder and then injected. Very happy with the treatment.
