Saw her as pain levels had been increasing. Instead of increasing the drugs she actually reduced them, causing even more horrendous pain until another doctor saw me, agreed she had been wrong and gave me the correct medication.

Response from Dr Claire Bates

I am really sad to see this review. I am aware of the situation that is being referenced and, unfortunately, the case is more complex than is represented by this post. It wouldn't be appropriate to go into details here. I hope that others reading these reviews, who might be coming to see me for help, will be reassured that I am passionate about providing excellent patient care and have 15 years experience as a consultant in the specialty. This is the only time I have received feedback like this from a patient or carer.
