I understand the time pressures on Doctors and Consultants but the time spent with Dr Al-Shakarchi was the first time I felt heard. I was fortunate enough to have the last appointment and she was willing to spend time with me to pull together pieces of my varied and diverse medical history to give me a diagnosis after many years of being passed around. I cannot speak highly enough of her. I love her approach, she is a straight talker with compassion and treated my like an intelligent adult not a patient who shouldn't really be told what is going on with them and feeling like a burden. The only constructive feedback I can give is that the first appointment with any consultant should be longer with a patient which would hopefully mitigate the need for unnecessary appointments in the future.
