Dr Christopher Tiplady

I was seen as a private patient at the Newcastle Nuffield Medical Centre in December for a persistent and ill-defined low white- cell count over the past 12 months. The Consultant provided excellent communication in terms of explaining blood tests, offering further clarificarion on things, and even sending a reassuring email before Christmas. He was also available to speak directly as part of a pre-appointment phone-call; something which is completely unheard of in the country I'm from. I found him to be very thorough, and his mannerism was patient and understanding throughout, just as my issue was also taken seriously, which I really appreciated. He was also more proactive I found, than most other people I have been to see in ordering that further different tests be done. Personally, I like that this Consultant is both a Laboratory scientist, as much as a medical doctor, and one of the excellent things about this Consultant in particular, is that he is actively involved in clinical education and the hands-on training of a new generation of doctors across the North East. Brilliant service and care, and would have no hesitation in recommending to other people looking around the North East region.

Dr Tiplady is a caring and professional Doctor who talks to his patients on a level that makes you feel like an unique individual. He is an asset to the NHS and any patient is so lucky to be under his care. Thank You Dr Tiplady !

Very good in all respects. A clear exposition of my condition and future prospects which I''d been seeking for a long time. Really good people-skills,spoke well and I think,more importantly for me,he listened attentively. No awkward fudging and no obfuscation which I'd encountered previously from others. I also received back-up literature and contact number for specialist nurse. Subsequently,everything that was promised as follow-up---letters and phone calls---has been delivered which is great and restores my faith in NHS. Thank you.

My care under Dr Tiplady and his team has been brilliant for the full ten years since my ITP was first diagnosed. I have always been made to feel comfortable and un-worried. The nurses who take blood samples from me at each appointment are always jolly and good for a laugh, even when sometimes they have difficulty finding a vein to sample from. I heartily recommend Dr Tiplady and his team to anyone who suffers haematological issues of this nature.

Always found the department to be efficient and friendly, No long delays in being seen.

Consistent, first class care predicated upon: listening to the patient, a sound knowledge of the patients history, by demeanour - creating an environment of respect, trust and confidence which immediately places the patient at their ease, communicating a commitment to excellence in both treatment and the quality of experience for the patient given the challenging nature of this area of medicine.

I was seen on Wednesday 13th October at Hexham General Hospital by Doctor Tiplady. I found him to be very precise and informative towards my medical position. He made me as comfortable as he could under the circumstances and he prepared an immediate programme going forward. Dr Tiplady came across as a very genuine person. Peter Simpson.

I feel totally confident in the treatment I have been given and the opinion of Dr Chris Tiplady, I am listened to and the response I get is explicit and understandable, the examination I was given today was thorough and any reservations I had about my condition have gone.

Hexham Hospital - Thurs. 13th October, 2016. A mutually successful interview. Mr. Tiplady is most attentive and helpful and is deserving of my utmost praise and gratitude. Brian Higgs - CA8 7NW

Dr Tiplady was courteous and considerate when he saw my father today; he listened and asked some searching questions then swiftly gave the options. My father was able to make a considered decision about the care that he wanted, without feeling in any way rushed. He was happy to take the new prescription and to be reviewed soon to see how he is getting on. Exemplary care in what must be a pressured setting. Thankyou.
