Cons:

  • "Not sure what her area of expertise is. She didn't explain."
  • "Instead no I was there for an £80 'chat' and no chance of testing she just thought I wanted a chat."
  • "this was the most brief and perfunctory chat I've had with any doctor."
  • "I thought going to a private GP I'd build a rapport with my doctor, and that they'd be concerned about my health issues but I got none of that having had better experiences with doctors in the past."
  • "Time after time I have been to GP's trying to figure out why I have had these awful symptoms for 3 years and many times I haven't been listened to and told it's all in my head which is absolutely devastating."
  • "Two hour round trip for absolutely nothing and absolutely nothing gained, was absolutely no help at all and pointless."
  • "I was told to speak to my own NHS doctor (which I have been speaking to of course for the past 2 months) and that I should go down the surgical route (I have no nasal issues at present, but keen to prevent future flare ups) in a very curt email."
