He understood the problem and explained the next steps clearly. He fully reviewed the test results even comparing them to previous results. His explanation of the test results was comprehensive and at the appropriate level. There is nothing more that he could have done. Excellent.

Response from Dr Shanker Vijayadeva

It is really nice to receive your feedback. I am so glad that you felt I explained the test results at the right level and in enough detail. I realise it is easy for doctors to use too much jargon or explain results in a complex manner, which can actual confuse rather than help patients. Although you felt there was nothing more I could have done in that encounter, please always feel comfortable to let me know in any future encounter whether I could explain something further if it is not clear. Thank you for taking the time to leave me your feedback, Regards Dr Shanker Vijayadeva

I was really pleased that Dr Vijay called me to discuss my medication and sent an electronic prescription to a late night pharmacy promptly. This worked out well for me and my travel plans. I would definately recommend Dr Vijay.

Probably most of the credit needs to go to the development of the Electronic Prescription Service, which made this possible. Hope your trip went well! Thank you taking the time to leave me your feedback.

Takes the time to listen and offers honest advice but could have taken more time to check the patient over

Response from Dr Shanker Vijayadeva

Thank for your valuable feedback. It is nice to hear that you feel I listen and give honest advice. Next time, please do feel comfortable to let me know if you are have any concern that I have not addressed and if you are wondering if I still need to examine/check something. This will enable me to address your concern and either perform that examination/test or explain why it might not help address that particular concern. Thank you again for taking the time to leave me your feedback which will help me to continue to improve, Regards Dr Shanker Vijayadeva

Within the limits of NHS, Dr Vijay appears to want to help you genuinely (which isn't the case with most GPs I've come across).

Response from Dr Shanker Vijayadeva

Every day, it gets increasingly more difficult in the NHS to manage the increasing demand (as we tend to have an increasingly elderly population) within limited stretched resources. Thank you for taking the time for leaving me your feedback.
