I commenced receiving care in July 2017, one year after having open heart surgery. I was absolutely in so much pain it was beyond imagining. I was referred to the Rheumatology Clinic by my GP and from my first appointment I began to understand that there was help available and there was medication that could ease the dreadful pain. Each Doctor I have met has been serious, kind and sympathetic, helpful and understanding. The Doctors and the Nurses I have seen have demonstrated their understanding of Rheumatoid Arthritis and I have benefited from their knowledge and expertise. My particular Doctor has never given me the impression that he is rushed (although I am aware that he is extremely busy) and that my appointment is concluded. He even makes time to share his personal outlook and philosophy on life which adds to my sense of well being and that I a human being and not just another patient in pain who has to be seen. I am extremely grateful to the Doctors, Nurses and Support Staff at the Clinic for their help, support and advice.
