Dr Monika Szczekot is a wonderful caring doctor who takes fantastic care of my grandmother's health conditions.
Having been with a terrible GP in the past causing serious health issues to remain undiagnosed.
I cannot rate Dr Monika highly enough. She is very thorough, listens, and is not afraid of having the required tests done. Better safe than sorry!
Thank you!
I'm still finding it difficult to process the attitude of this Doctor. She allowed me only 5 words before berating me about the state of the NHS as if to suggest it was my fault. Her tone was aggressive and the volume level was bordering on shouting. She didn't take any time to look at my referral documents until I stopped her and midway through her 'rant'. I expressed my disbelief at her tone and attitude and only then did she apologise. She even pointed out she may have been 'abrasive' - her words not mine.
I phoned the surgery mid afternoon, asked to speak to a doctor and briefly described my partner's symptoms. We received a call back from Dr Szczekot within 15 minutes and after a short consult we were told to come to the surgery. Dr Szczekot saw us within minutes, examined my partner and told us to go home and pack a bag then go immediately to Basildon Hospital where we would be expected. Total time from phone call to referral was 30 minutes. Cannot hope for better service from a GP. We are lucky to be registered with Hassengate Medical Centre.
I was previously at a different practice and transferred here. What a difference this surgery is. Doctor Monika Szczekot is a wonderful doctor who listens cares and obviously reads your notes so she knows what your dealing with. I have been a patient here for 3 months and wished I had changed to this practice 23 years ago. Highly recommend!!!
