I saw My Panayi as an NHS patient in the Urogynae Clinic at St Helier Hospital. I found him to be polite, a good listener and easy to talk to. He arranged for me to have and has since performed a cystoscopy to help diagnose my bladder problems and also another surgical procedure. However, as there are no dedicated Urogynae Post-Op clinics, I was unable to see Mr Panayi for my Post-Op follow-up appointment. This is unfortunately because, his waiting time for appointments to see him is now 10 months and my post-Op follow-up time frame was 3-4 months. As Mr Panayi gets so booked up, it is doubtful I will be able to see him at my next follow-up appointment as well, unless I am willing to wait 10 months to see him. This saddens me, as a good doctor-patient relationship is important to me, which can't happen if you keep seeing different doctors. Mr Panayi is an excellent Consultant, but it is very hard to see him as an NHS patient and unfortunately I can't afford to pay to see him as a private patient.
