Mr Grenville Major 2021-01-03 Person 3 5 0

I saw Dr Major regarding a problem that he was described as being a specialist in, in addition to having recently seen a different psychiatrist about a different issue. My first experience had been excellent. However, although Dr Major was very pleasant, I felt that he was less professional than the first psychiatrist - he was dressed very casually, his phone kept ringing and he had to sit on it during the consultation and he also gave me conflicting advice about some medicines I was taking. I did feel slightly judged too which was uncomfortable. I have deliberated about writing this review because I do know it isn't as pleasant as I would like to have written about someone. But it was expensive speaking with him and I don't feel that it was worth the fee. ALso there seems to be a misunderstanding as he was of the opinion that I had asked him to provide a second opinion as if I did not trust the first psychiatrist but it was a different issue. So although I am saddened that I was unable to give a five star review. I am also deliberating on the "would you recommend" rating. Maybe he was just having a bad day, I don't know, but I do feel that at the fee that was charged it would be good to appear more professionally dressed and not have a phone ringing during the consultation. I'd paid for two hours of his time as he requested but he ended the consultation after 1.5 hours and I had to go back to admin and ask for a refund of the unused money. I'm also a bit upset that I am now confused about my medicines as he gave me different instructions to the first psychiatrist and it was medicine that she had prescribed, and that I've been labelled as seeking a second opinion after the first, absolutely excellent, psychiatrist. I wasn't as I trusted her diagnosis and treatment. It appears that psychiatrists don't work like physicians and surgeons where they have specific fields in which they work - beware if you have two issues that seem to be unrelated as you don't need to see a separate psychiatrist for each one. I think.
