Original Feedback for Hellesdon Medical Practice:

Dr not helpful to relatives

As the next of kin to a patient of this practice , (and a retired health professional) I have only on three occasions, had to ask for the services of the doctor who is allocated to overseeing the medical needs at his care home. The first time I asked the doctor for some help for my relative (who had dementia) He was less than helpful and was obviously annoyed at me for disturbing him. He also told those looking after my relative not to let me call him again. On the second occasion, I asked for my relative to be reviewed as he had leg swelling and redness. The GP sent an alternative health professional who mis-diagnosed and missed cellulitis and my relative ended up in hospital for three weeks, The third time I needed his help was today, when needing the death certificate completing. I explained on THREE separate phone calls that I am only in the country until Friday and would appreciate this doing today. Guess what? Not done and he is day off tonmorrow. Totally unacceptable. The receptionists however, are lovely.
