"Overwhelmed by the care, kindness & support"

About: General practices in Forth Valley

(as the patient),

Recently I telephoned Braesview Medical centre at 8 am, I explained my situation to receptionist Gillian and was offered a telephone triage appt.  20 minutes later, Doctor Lopez telephoned and offered me a face to face appt  within the next 30 minutes. I was initially seen by ANP Thomson who then referred to  Dr. Lopez, a plan was made for further treatment, medication etc., and at the end of the day, Dr. Lopez telephoned me directly at home to check I was still managing and with instructions if my condition worsened.  

I have received further telephone calls from Braesview staff to let me know X-ray, tests & blood tests appt, have been booked for me.

I am overwhelmed by the care, kindness & support I have received that week (and at other times of flare up) I cannot thank the Braesview Medical Centre enough!!

Dear aprilxk53

Thank you for sharing with us your experience with Braesview Medical Centre. It is always lovely to hear how supported and cared for our patients are within their GP Practice. The Practices work extremely hard in the community to ensure that their patients are supported, treated appropriately, timeously, and meeting their needs.

I know the Practice will be delighted to receive your story and I will share this with Dr Lopez and the Team.

I do hope you are well and once again thank you for sharing your story with us.

Best Wishes

Caroline
