My own advice is to take responsibility for your own health regarding your diet and exercise and mental health. Do your own research,if you don't understand take peer advice from trusted friends/relatives. Come prepared with list of questions,or information from medical publications if like me you may be pursuing non mainstream practices such as intermittent fasting low carb/ketogenic diets and check your lipid profile,blood chemistry to see if it is having a beneficial effect. Don't be frightend to ask for explanations of your potential issues,and if you have questions regarding your results and lab online appears to be lacking the info you have researched the contact the pathologist at St.Richards who may be helpful.

Went to see Dr Parsonage at the beginning of this week. She was very thorough and made a referral to St Richards for tests and arranged a blood test for me next week. Very impressed with all her help.

Totally satisfied with Dr understanding of my issue. Time taken to talk through issues and possible ways forward.

I would just like to say that my appointment with Dr Parsonage was very reassuring and thorough. It was my first experience at Flansham and I was pleasantly surprised because compared to my previous doctor in London, I can only say it was a different place entirely. In London, the receptionists barely look at you and treat you like 2nd class citizens, and the doctors spend all their time looking at a computer screen rather than actually looking, and talking to you like a human being. So yes, it was an unexpected pleasant meeting with Dr Parsonage and I certainly won't be dreading further visits.

After expressing my concerns so many times regarding my baby, I feel this dr really heard me. Other drs have been helpful and haven’t dismissed my concerns by any means, but dr parsonage made me feel like I know my baby best, and I felt empathy toward the stress it’s causing me and a suitable plan of action moving forward. After the care from this dr, for the first time, my baby now seems comfortable and happy. I would like the option to be seen by this dr again.
