    There was a failed connection between every staff member in relation to my care. It was like everyone was on their own including myself.

    The receptionist where friendly but the doctor him self is felt he couldn't be bothered I literally felt like I was being rushed and that I wasn't a important patient to him and he rushed out and didnt care or take into account my thoughts or feelings about anything I want a new doctor but dont have tithe time to look for one Hes polite but there is not connection with his patients I really feel like hes just there to push people onto other doctors instead of him taking the time to care for his patients
