good listener, good advice
Dr Clowes is a visiting locum to our local medical practice and I have had two appointments with him in the last 6 weeks.
He is a gentle, caring and trustworthy doctor who seems to have a very wide experience of General Practice. He referred me quickly to the local hospital for further examination which turned out to have been quite justified. His follow up was thorough and careful and his advice very clear and considered.
In the absence of a permanent GP his service is commendable.
Today I found Dr Clowes helpful and felt that he listened attentively to what I came to discuss with him. He reassured me that the steps I had already taken to improve my health were positive and that I should continue with these.
With regards to constructive suggestions, I became upset during the consultation, and whilst he was processing a sick line, I found myself looking around the room for a tissue, eventually taking a paper towel from the dispenser above the sink in the room. Other doctors I have seen in similar situations would offer the patient a tissue; a very simple act that conveys a great deal of care and empathy towards a patient.
I found Dr Clowes to be professional and experienced.
Doctor Clowes was very thorough and gave very good and informative information on my back problem. I would definitely be happy to see him again.
