Mr Stephen Walsh 2014-05-08 Person 5 5 0

After several visits to see numerous doctors at our local surgery and none knowing what was wrong with my teenage son, we were finally referred after 5 months to see Mr Walsh. Within a few minutes of being in his consultation room, Mr Walsh had diagnosed my son with a Salivary duct stone. He was friendly, told us in very understandable words what it was and how he would deal with it. After being sent for an X-ray just to make sure where it was situated and if there were any others there, it was straight back to his room where he explained the minor surgery that would be performed there and then to extract it. My son said he would like to add, "it was quick and easy and he was put at ease straight away". He also wants to thank Mr Walsh as he said "he is the only doctor that has actually spoken to me directly", he said "other doctors see me as a child still and speak only to your parent when your parent isn't the patient, but Mr Walsh actually treated me like an adult!" As a parent I can not find fault in the treatment provided. I felt my son was in very safe hands and that to any parent is the one most important things to have in anyone looking after their child- trust. Thank you Mr Walsh.
