Dr Porter was brilliant today. Listened and provided advise. Telephone assessment
She was straight to the point and offered may ways in which i can help make myself better making me feel supported.
I had several issues that I needed to discuss with the doctor.
Dr Porter started by listening and noting all the things I wanted to talk about. We then worked systematically through them.
Dr Porter had all the information available - test results etc - to address my questions.
Realising that we wouldn't get through all the issues in a 10 minute appointment she focused on some and said she would have a phone call appointment with me later in the week. This meant that I didn't feel under time pressure during the face to face appointment.
I came away from the appointment feeling clear about the things I needed to do and reassured about concerns that I had.
Dr Porter phoned within days and addressed the other issues - again so that I had clarity about what to do.
All the medications I needed were added to my prescriptions list and any future tests were booked. e.g. blood tests.
I felt that I was in very competent hands with Dr Porter and that I was taken seriously and treated with patience and empathy. Which cannot be easy the pressure our GP's are under.
I am very glad that she is a GP at my surgery.
I felt Dr Porter listened and took interest in what I had to say. The doctor gave me a clear idea of the way forward on how to treat my fathers condition but reassured me that to callback if his condition got any worse. Doctor made me feel I wasn't an inconvenience.
My appointment time was between 1pm and 5pm but it would help if the time window wasn't so far apart.
Dr Porter is extremely empathetic and this makes her a fantastic practitioner. I trust what she says and believe that she has mine and my family’s best interests at heart. We are lucky that Dr Porter is at our surgery.
