Dr Gordon Ingle

I had terrible experience with Dr Ingle. His approach was so unpleasant, at first he got angry cause my GP didnt write in the referral the actual cause of my appointment, at second he expressed his annoyance that I did go already to private doctor. He didnt even look on all my tests I brought with me, interrupting me constantly in the end i didnt even have a chance to tell about my symptoms. After examination he concluded that because i dont have any motor symptoms he will not be performing any tests cause it will be waste of money for NHS. I ve been left without any diagnosis with number of symptoms. I was shocked after the appointment and requested to change my doctor.

Luckily, I have been under the care of Dr Ingle for a few years now. He listens to you. He takes time to explain what is going on and why! And, he is always smiling! He referred me to his friend, a specialist in EHLERS-DANLOS Syndrome. He then took the time to explain everything about EDS to me and explained what the future may hold. I trust him 100% and pray he never discharges me I truly believe he is one of the very few doctors who care about their patients as well as treating us with compassion, dedication and expertise. Simply the best

I found Dr Ingle a compassionate and keen listener, and he has been much more helpful than any of the other consultants I have encountered. He explained complex concepts using non-medical analogies, and checked that I understood them. He laid out possible medical pathways and explained why they were relevant and what they might involve. He checked that I was happy to proceed with the pathways he had outlined Dr Ingle also took the time to discuss employment rights and advice regarding how to approach my medical situation with employers. I feel lucky to have been referred to Dr Ingle and would highly recommend him as a consultant.

Dr Ingle is so academically gifted that he doesn't need to refer to the patient's doctor's notes or listen to the patient's long list of age-related illnesses which led to his appearing before him. Aggressive to the point of rudeness in his haste to complete the ?20 minute session he finishes by giving a speech at breakneck speed (possibly because he has a tendency to stammer) slipping in highly technical terms and without pausing for breath to allow for the patient to ask for clarification. This is rather like the Thailand Customer Care agent's having memorised the "Script". In National Service days it was referred to as"B*******t baffles brains. Perhaps the attitude changes if you are a Private Patient. Texts are sent reminded patients that missed appointments cost the NHS £160. Naively I thought my £40+ years of National Insurance Contributions covered that.

I have been a Paiten under doctor Ingle for almost three years now, he has been my doctor through what has been without a doubt the most hardest time of my life. Doctor Ingle has been constant throughout and although not through the other side of my situation yet, I feel that thanks to Dr Ingle alone I can see another side to my life now. His personality may be unique, but I for one would not have him any other way. He has continued to keep searching for an answer and he gave me one, along with treatment. I could never thank Dr Ingle enough for all he has done, when other doctors were so fast to push me aside. So big big thanks to you Dr Ingle. For all you have done THANK YOU.

He's a pleasant enough chap, but talks at ninety miles an hour. His speed of delivery is so fast that you need a sharp brain to keep up with his conversation, which is not really appropriate for a neurology clinic, where some patients may be slowed down from brain damage. He rarely pauses long enough for the patient to get a word in edgeways, and consequently gets the wrong end of the stick through not listening properly. A lot of NHS money was wasted when he had me in for expensive tests I didn't need, because he'd misunderstood the nature of my illness. I was then discharged from his clinic because I didn't have the conditions I'd been tested for, whilst still trying to get help for the illness that I do have. I was obliged to make a complaint to the NHS Trust, but to give Dr Ingle his due, he did then start listening to me and promptly arranged MRI scans and an in-house referral to the correct department.
