Reviews
Chris Target is just about perfect! Both I and my partner have complex medical conditions including my partners Crohn's Disease and my COPD, heart problems and a spine collapsing. Chris is understanding in consultation, confident in diagnosis and has real depth in after care, he always leaves you feeling that if you have a further worry you can go back to him directly - not another Doctor but direct back to himself.
For me personally he has expedited MRI scans to speed my journey toward spinal surgery, spotted my symptoms of COPD without the use of a spirometry as it was banned during Covid19 - had me CT scanned to confirm the condition and his diagnosis. He has worked with me over 2 years to get my blood pressure and BPM down to an acceptable level without just throwing massive amounts of beta blockers in to me.
What this doctor provides you with though, most importantly, is a feeling of overwhelming confidence that you are being looked after properly. A really comfortable place to be when you're not well.
Many thanks for your feedback. Dr Chris
Dr Chris is brilliant. He listens, he acts upon issues straightaway. He’s always cheerful and very easy to talk to. Because he is so good, people like to see him and so it can sometimes take a while to get an appointment. This is far from a criticism, it just proves how well respected and liked he is. He bring a huge amount to the surgery.
Many thanks for your feedback. Dr Chris
Doctor Target was superb. . At 57 I have had the "misfortune" to have had to engage with a fair few doctors, they have all been very good. Doctor Target, for me was in a different league. His punctuality ,professionalism, care and compassion were flawless. Thank you for your care and understanding.
Many thanks for your feedback. Dr Chris
This was my first visit to the surgery since moving here in Oct 2018. Dr Chris was absolutely amazing considering this was our first ever meeting he was patient attentive and explained my procedure and then went onto explain what the next step would be if I needed further treatment.
So glad I choose this surgery
Many thanks for your feedback. Dr Chris
Over several weeks I had to have 3 injections in my shoulder for arthritis, tendinitis & bursitis. Many people had told me to expect them to be very painful but when Dr Target did the injections I hardly felt a thing!
I find Dr Target to be knowledgeable, professional but also kind, helpful, considerate, friendly and determined to free me from the pain. He is very clear when explaining things and uses plain English rather than a lot of medical jargon.
He has an excellent ‘bedside’ manner, a good sense of humour and I was very happy with the way he treated me.
Many thanks for your feedback, Dr Chris
