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.

Dr Vijay has been my chosen GP for the last year or so. I must say that I have never experienced a GP who puts patient care on top of his list of priorities. He is no only empathetic, but also listens to what you have to say. Quite often than not when you visit your GP you are rushed as they have other patients to see and this can often make you feel uncomfortable with explaining in detail why you are there. Dr Vijay is a real asset to this practice. Keep up the excellent work, I'm sure many patients who visit you echo the same words as myself. Many thanks

Response from Dr Shanker Vijayadeva

Thank you so much for your kind words. Your feedback gives me hope as I frequently wish I could spend even more time listening and perhaps less time on the computer. I do try not to rush, but unfortunately it does mean that I often end up running late in surgery...which I realise is not great for patients either. Please let me know at any time if you feel I could do something differrently. Regards Dr Shanker Vijayadeva
