I found him to be very professional whilst being friendly and accommodating. He was excellent with my two children and made their examinations a fun experience for them.

I am really glad your children found the examinations fun! I still wish I could be as good as Dr Ranj from CBeebies (Get Well Soon)! Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback, Dr Vijay

Having been seen at short notice I was pleased with the doctors approach. The follow up information he sent was useful.

Response from Dr Shanker Vijayadeva
It is nice to hear we were able to see you at short notice. I do use text messages a lot to navigate patients to where they can find more information online (e.g. www.patient.info or www.nhs.uk). It is difficult to give all this information in short 10 minute appointments and we also understand how difficult it is remember everything we say. I also prefer text messages as my handwriting is not so great and it is easier to lose scraps of paper than your phone! I am glad that you found such follow up information useful. Thank you for taking the time to provide me with your feedback, Dr Vijay

This very busy GP listened and offered me clear medical advice. He tracked through my test results ensuring that I got the correct antibiotic for the weekend. He provided me follow up tests and checks thus allaying my fears about not been able to access these facilities via the under funded, overstretched NHS.
Restored my faith in doctors

Response from Dr Shanker Vijayadeva
Thank you for taking the time to leave me this feedback. To be fair, I think most of the credit should go to the IT/system improvements that meant we got the test results before the weekend and I was able to contact you and send a prescription electronically to your chemist before the weekend. I think most frontline staff in the NHS do feel overstretched, so it is really nice to receive positive feedback like this to motivate us to keep going! I hope we can maintain your faith in doctors/the NHS and if we do not, then please let us know. Thanks again for your feedback, Dr Vijay

Wasn't rushed which is #1 importance for me.

Response from Dr Shanker Vijayadeva
Thank you for your positive feedback. On the negative side, it does often mean I run late in surgery as a result which can leave patients waiting quite a while to be seen.......I am working to improve this.
