Big shout out to Dr Showman, who came across as being very professional and considerate. She was able to swiftly solve my appointment problem which had left me feeling quite upset and unpick what happened rather than dismissing it. She also gave me the time to understand the next steps in my treatment and offer some great advice. Thank you for your kind manner, you made me feel at ease.

I don't believe Dr. Showman has much empathy for 'unseen' illness or psychological pain. I was left feeling ashamed and as though I was a naughty child after having the audacity to press for a short term medication to help me adjust to a new life circumstance, rather than the long term daily option which she favoured (despite its past inefficacy). I believe she is very much "by the book" and inflexible in her approach. Perhaps this was unintentional but unfortunately her tone was passive-aggressive. I don't think she intends to invalidate or demean and quite likely she believes she has the best interests of the patient at heart. If only she were more able to adopt the perspective of those struggling psychologically (even if they present well), then I think she would be an excellent GP. After the experience I had, I will not be seeing this GP again. I saw a private GP instead, explained my circumstances and history, was listened to and understood and treated like a responsible adult. I was provided a short-term low-dose prescription which has been used very sparingly as needed. I don't understand why Dr. Showman could not have done the same.

Dr showman always comes across as friendly and caring. She listens well, gives thorough examinations and good advice. We have always left the surgery feeling reassured after seeing Dr Showman.
