Very clear in giving me the right information I need to get my Ankle better
Mr. Michael Barrett I am happy he made sure that my leg would recover. He is the best. After five months, Mr Barrett did a good job .. I am very pleased ... Thank you .. You are the best .. Regards Thomas.
Mr Barrett was very polite and understanding, took great care in listening and answering any questions or queries I had. Made the whole experience much calmer for me as I was nervous about my procedure when coming to the hospital. Very good doctor.
Mr Barratt was very perceptive and although I went to him for what might have been a broken foot bone - that turned out to be a ruptured ligament -- now repairing nicely on its own; he recognised that my foot and bottom of my leg was very swollen -- he enquired about recent history [a boxing day spent in Swindon Hospital ++] and recognised the signs of the intravenous anti-blood clotting agent wearing off --- he immediately prescribed some more pills and in a few days most of the signs of heading for another DVT were abating -- that process still continues today.
I am most grateful to him for being more than a "foot specialist" and for saving me from something that could have been SO much worse.
My only criticisms is to the length of time I was kept in a cubicle without anyone acknowledging I was there . I felt like I had been forgotten as I was left for an hour and 25 minutes before anyone came to speak to me.
