I had been having gynecological issues for 3 months when I contacted Mr Robinson. I had gone through lots of tests with no diagnosis but continued to have almost continuous pain and periodic swelling. I would like to leave this message for Mr Robinson and his PA because, although I never actually had an appointment, they took the time to listen to my symptoms and history and decided to decline my self referral because Mr Robinson did not feel he was the right person to see me. His PA was very clear in explaining why and Mr Robinsons suggestion that he recommended that I see a vulval dermatology specialist was really helpful - I could finally ask the hospital for the contact details of someone who had the right training and expertise to see me and I avoided self-paying for more appointments which were not providing any results. SO thank you both - I managed to find and see Dr Claire Fuller the next day (as she had a cancelled appointment) and as she could not perceive any dermatology issues she has suggested it is a sensitive nerve issue that is causing pain when i should have none and she has put me on a treatment plan. This has massively improved my anxiety and mood (which was becoming increasingly affected by my ongoing issues) and means that I won't be spending lots of money and time on private appointments. I feel a lot more hopeful now that my condition will resolve and I feel that Mr Robinson, by declining my referral and suggesting I see a specific type of specialist, helped to facilitate this. Thank you!
