Couldn't fault any aspect from start to finish. Requested an appt on Tuesday, was seen Thur morning, x Ray lunchtime and received results in the afternoon.

Suggested improvements
Can't think of anything sensibly that could have been better.

I was really impressed with my experience. I submitted my enquiry online, which was a really user friendly process. I was then given a telephone appointment 2 days later, which determined I needed to be seen in person. I was able to get a face to face appointment the same day. The speed at which my enquiry was dealt with was great and I was pleasantly surprised. Both the Receptionist and Doctor (Dr [name removed]) were very friendly and helpful. I was really pleased with the level of care I received.

Suggested improvements
There is nothing about my experience that I feel could have been done better.

I didn't have any problems apart from all the traveling I had to do mainly because of lack of communication

Suggested improvements
On the day nothing the doctor I saw I couldn't fault I guess it's the times we live in but 10month to be seen is a bit much from me 1st contacting my own health centre but I think their referral could of been clearer as I had already sent photos and spoke to my doctor who had decided it should be removed yet the doctor I saw on the day at Grange was unclear why I was there
