Dr Hugh Jones 2014-10-26 Person 5 5 0

On admission Doctor Jones immediately introduced himself in a friendly way which made me feel relaxed and made me feel like a human being and not just a "condition". It was a pleasure to meet Doctor Jones who listened attentively and with interest to the information he invited me to share. Following the history of my problems he then carried out his examination (x-Rays were taken) and Dr Jones then explained his findings that was easily understandable. He then outlined what treatment could be implemented and gave the freedom to choose. I found Doctor Jones to be very professional and caring and he displayed excellent communication skills. Prior to his assessment he asked my permission for the junior Doctor in the room to be present and later to examine my hands. This she did following his examination and he endorsed and praised her correct findings. This encouragement is very important to individuals. As a retired Nurse Lecturer I greatly appreciated the value of my meeting with Doctor Jones. He is an excellent Rheumatologist and I look forward to meeting him again in November.
