This doctor simply does not listen to you. He will not be prepared for your arrival and will not have read your notes. He will not pay any attention to anything you bring with you. He will ask a few simple questions & reach for a prescription pad or made his referral. I am of the strong opinion that he is simply filling in the NHS hours so that he may do his private consults at the BMI hospital down the road, Dr Redmond does not provide Neurology services through the NHS in anything but name. He is simply interested in completing forms, hitting management KPIs & avoided. If you have a telephone appointment the experience is worse. Hard to believe that is possible, but it is. On a positive note with a telephone appointment, the results will be the same (ineptitude, mediocracy and indifference) so you will have saved yourself some transport costs. In all likelihood, the appointment will not happen as he will let the phone ring twice and then mark you as 'not attended'. Best avoided.

Fine if you're fine but not if you're not. Makes you feel that it's all in the mind, rather than bothering to really try and find out what might be going on. Seemed very glad when I left the room (after a very short appointment). Hope this helps someone. Take care all.

Not the best listener, & doesn't like to get his hands dirty if you are anything out of the 'ordinary'. Very different attitude from one appointment to the next. Very friendly the first time. - I guess as long as you're straightening you'll be fine.

Seen this doctor on more than one occasion. First time I saw him privately. He didn’t listen to my concerns and very quickly jumped to the conclusion that my symptoms were most likely to be caused by painkiller overuse even though I had told him I hadn’t taken anything for my pain for several years. He discharged me and advised psychological support. The next time I saw Dr Redmond I was an inpatient in hospital. I had developed some very serious neurological symptoms and was practically bedbound. This time Dr Redmond didn’t even examine me and therefore missed the vital signs that something was wrong. He discharged me and told me to go get some counselling. After discharge I managed to get an urgent admission with the neurologist I was under in London. Within that admission they managed to diagnose me with not one but two very serious neurological conditions that both required surgery soon after. Luckily down to these London Doctors my life has dramatically been transformed and although I have had to adjust my life to living with these conditions, I am now able to function as a mother to my children. In future I think Dr Redmond should think twice before diagnosing people with a functional diagnosis and it would be prudent to check for physical problems first before coming to that conclusion.
