I left this doctor In tears. And in no way shape or form did he give any details of how to manage my pain. After waiting 4 months for this appointment I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. I started to state where my pain was and never got off my first symptom before he cut me off, questioning the diagnosis I had from another Doctor. I tried to ask him if I could do anything to help the pain myself and the only information he gave me was to try Polar tis which would then fix itself within 5 years. I don't believe he listened to anything I had to say and didn't greet me straight away until he finished playing with he's mobile phone. I left this so called appointment feeling none the wiser and even more confused than when I arrived.

Response from Dr Ilan Lieberman

Hi Although I don't recall this particular consultation I am really sorry to read that you were dissatisified with the consultation & I appologise for that. Its never my intention to deliberately upset people or spend inadequate time with them although this has clearly occured in your case. As you can read all of my previous feedback has been very positive and the nature of this type of anonymous feedback is that it's open to all and from my perspective enables the clinician to be reflective about their practice. So thank you for taking the time to feedback, even though it made uncomfortable reading. If you wish I'd be happy to see you again and see if we can achieve a more helpful outcome. No hard feelings. With regards to the phone, I dont have a "bleep" and the expected way for me to be available for advice to other healthcare professionals, patients and sadly my managers is though my phone. The nature of my practice means that on some occasions I can't just switch the phone off as much as I would like to. It's also important to appreciate that sometimes consultations within the context of the management of chronic pain can be distressing and may challenge views, cognitions, behaviours, beliefs and previous diagnoses. I appreciate that can be a very challenging experience. Clearly the outcome for you on your visit was not what you had hope for or expected & if we meet in the future I'm confident that we can achieve a better outcome for you. I hope the Pilates classes are helping. BW Dr Lieberman.
