Dr Shanker is a great GP. I would definitely recommend seeing him if you have any problems. I have been consistently pleased with the consultations that I had with him for over an year now, both in person and through the phone as well. I have recently had a consultation with Dr Shanker that really helped me figure out a problem that I have been experiencing for over one year now. The consultation was over the phone and I could not be more satisfied with the service provided.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It is feedback like this that can help motivate me to keep trying my best, especially when facing current work pressures from Covid-19. Thank you for taking the time to leave me your feedback.

Dr. Vijay is a great physician. He’s not only a great communicator but also a good listener. He managed the root of the problem of my condition and helped me to feel empowered to improve my health. I was dreading calling the GP because I don’t enjoy discussing my health problems but when Dr. Vijay called, he made me feel cared for as he was kind and supportive during my phone appointment. It is hard to build trust and rapport during a pandemic when you are speaking to a stranger on the phone, I believe he did an amazing job with that. The health plan was well explained and carefully thought. I know my health won’t improve straight away but it is lovely to know that If I need help or support I can trust my GP.

We are under a lot of pressure and feeling quite drained at the moment due to impact of Covid-19. Your feedback has made my day and I feel touched. Thank you so much for finding the time to leave me your kind words - it is really appreciated.

I found it unprofessional from the doctor. how can he prescribe something to me with out contacting me and on the top of that he prescribe depression tablet and my problem has nothing to do with depression???

Response from Dr Shanker Vijayadeva

Oh dear. I am sorry to hear this and something must have gone wrong here. I do not recognise what you are describing as I would not prescribe something like a “depression” tablet without some form of contact. I wonder if this was an online consultation and something has gone wrong with the message back to you? “Depression tablets” can also be prescribed for other problems, such as pain. Can I suggest you contact me or another doctor at the practice and we can look at what has happened? Hoping to hear from you soon
