"Doctors are great, getting an appointment is a..."

Can't fault my doctor - kind and compassionate and he clearly explained options. However, the process for making an appointment at the hospital (actually getting through to someone on the phone) is harder than it need to be. In case you are looking for details, here is the direct number for the Rheumatology department: 0208 223 8868 This is the number for Central Appointments (if you need to change or cancel an appointment): 0207 767 3200. The staff here were very friendly and helpful.
