My internet connection was very poor causing some problem for Dr.Vjay to assess me on our video call. Otherwise he was very accommodating and maintains his professionalism all throughout my consultation.

Despite your poor internet connection, the video consultation did help with examining your throat. Thank you for your feedback and I hope you get better soon.

Thanks for the 5 stars! I am assuming the N/A refers to “Cloister Road Surgery” as this feedback relates to seeing you today whilst working at the Ealing Community Escalation Centre instead.

The dentist is currently unavailable

Response from Dr Shanker Vijayadeva
As my colleague initially explained to you, GPs are advised not to prescribe antibiotics for dental infections as we lack the training and equipment to fully assess you (and dental infections can require more than just antibiotics). If we provide the wrong treatment, dental infections can spread and it can become extremely serious (particularly due to the closeness of teeth to the brain). This is the same as a dentist not prescribing antibiotics for chest infections. We advised you to contact NHS 111 if you were struggling to obtain dental care, because NHS 111 can access a dental triage service (which can arrange emergency dental care if assessed to be urgent). I am sorry if you had a frustrating experience with NHS 111 and I hope you are getting better now. Thank you taking the time to provide us your feedback.
