Mr Crichton is a very professional and caring Doctor, it is obvious by the questions he asks that he is genuinely interested in your health and treatment. I have nothing but praise for him.
Very happy and felt listened to calmly and with compassion.
My appointment with Mr Crighton was on the 5th Dec 2022 re my on going pain with gall bladder which a solitary stone was flagged up on scan done previously
.I expressed my fears and he listened and put me forward for a CT scan which was dealt with promptly. I had the scan yesterday.
Mr Crightons expert knowledge and reassurance has made me feel that i am in safe hands.I shall look forward to my CT scan result in the hope that it is just gallbladder removal that is needed and not anything more sordid!
Thankyou Mr Crighton for your help so far .Have a wonderful Christmas & Sparkling 2023!
I had a consultation with Mr Ian Crighton on August 8th. I was very impressed! I immediately felt a great empathy with him. He had clearly studied my case records and had information on my situation immediately to hand. He was clearly listening carefully to my responses to his questions. He made me feel comfortable throughout the whole interview and examination.His explanations and prognosis were clearly stated and follow up to my doctor (and therefore me) were quick and efficient.
A tangental comment which may be outside the hospital's control concerns finding the hospital in. Morcambe. The proliferation of one-way streets and poor signage made getting to the hospital on time very stressful.
I was treated with great care and was very pleased with attention of the doctor who was very kind and professional as were all the staff at Westmorland general hospital
