I was waiting to see Dr Meenah, it was quite a distance to walk on crutches to actually get to his office, when I did I understood very quickly that this appointment was a conveyor belt style one. I felt like the pace was racing ahead. I note that a few days after the appointment I had ended up in A&E and had a diagnosis of 3 bulging discs at L4 L5 and S1 with contact of the nerve root, hence I was in considerable pain. I also had a fibrous appendix removed and a 24mm Cecum Colonic serrated polyp removed. All that made for a pretty uncomfortable person infront of Dr Meenah. Autoimmune questionnaire followed and I was sure I wasn't yet needed it ruled out. As I have disability, what was frustrating was that I was not offered an appointment at the same time as bloods could have been taken, I had to arrange a return to the hospital. These things are not easy to arrange having been needing either my wheelchair or crutches and having to arrange childcare. I was triggered by the language Dr Meenah used on the letter to my GP whereby my BMI was mentioned as being overweight. I have lost mobility since a hysterectomy almost 5 years ago and I'm in daily chronic pain. I was in so much pain I almost cancelled the appointment yet I really struggled on crutches to get there, to try and better my health. Unfortunately keeping a BMI down is extremely hard when you are debilitated by pain and mobility compromised. I don't know what the Hospital is doing in booking these small increment appointments whereby you feel rushed. You can sense the Consultants enthusiasm to get through to the next patient. I don't rate this experience over the NHS at all.

One of the few Doctors that actually listen and help. Extremely knowledgeable along with a lovely ‘bedside manner.’ He explained everything thoroughly and gave us plenty of time for questions . He also referred me on to different specialties . I would highly recommend Dr Meenagh.

Unhelpful, condescending and left me feeling more unwell than if I hadn't bothered privately paying for him. Had no interest in helping me beyond collecting his check, basically just rhymed off a lazy spiel about the condition, all of which I already knew, offering no ideas or treatment beyond that which was already given to me. Didn't take any interest in exploring any of the specifics I raised, just wanted me off the phone. I felt more unwell in the subsequent weeks as a result of his complete lack of interest/followup/due care.
