This very busy GP listened and offered me clear medical advice. He tracked through my test results ensuring that I got the correct antibiotic for the weekend. He provided me follow up tests and checks thus allaying my fears about not been able to access these facilities via the under funded, overstretched NHS. Restored my faith in doctors

Response from Dr Shanker Vijayadeva

Thank you for taking the time to leave me this feedback. To be fair, I think most of the credit should go to the IT/system improvements that meant we got the test results before the weekend and I was able to contact you and send a prescription electronically to your chemist before the weekend. I think most frontline staff in the NHS do feel overstretched, so it is really nice to receive positive feedback like this to motivate us to keep going! I hope we can maintain your faith in doctors/the NHS and if we do not, then please let us know. Thanks again for your feedback, Dr Vijay

Wasn't rushed which is #1 importance for me.

Thank you for your positive feedback. On the negative side, it does often mean I run late in surgery as a result which can leave patients waiting quite a while to be seen.......I am working to improve this.

I found the doctor very professional, he is one of the only doctors who I find to actually care for the patients rather than his job. Excellent communication, understanding, and all around brilliant. I have recommended him to everyone and anyone.

Dr Vijay is always very thorough and appears to be genuinely concerned. I hope we always get him!

Response from Dr Shanker Vijayadeva

Gosh I am touched by your words! To be fair, I suspect there are also some patients who probably dread getting me, especially as I can often run late in surgery. Thank you for taking the time to leave me this feedback which has made my day. Best wishes, Dr Vijay
