"Dissatisfied this time!"

About: The Royal Victoria Infirmary

What I liked

I have been at the RVI several times and I always were satisfied by the good services of our doctors and staff but on 31st of July 2012.

I liked the whole procedure making an appointment. I had a great help from Clinic Centre, Newcastle, and my GP. They are taking a good care of their patients.

What could be improved

I do feel that one of the doctors working at Out-patient Department, Gynaecology ( NEW) Royal Victoria Infirmary, New Victoria Wing, level 1, needs better professional qualifications!

Because they do not treat their patient professionally.

Anything else?

My name is Chun Chen and I had an appointment on 31st of July, in the afternoon at 2:30pm.

I suppose to have a Scan or some kind of examination based on the scan made on 15th of March. Doctor did not do anything, even refused to do so when I asked.

I sincerely hope that RVI could have an investigation on this case.

As a patient, I feel completely mistreated by this doctor and I believe that they did not conduct their obligation to taking care of their patient.

they spent less then 300 seconds finishing my meeting by asking me 3 questions only...
