Very good Company, thoughtful Staff. However, would have rated 5 stars, but no response to my request for previous test results.

I attended the clinic for a test

I attended the clinic for a test. The experience was good. The staff were extremely friendly and very attentive. They explained to me how the text will be done and throughout this time they always had a big smile on their face.

Professional and knowledgeable

The healthcare professional was very nice and seems to be be knowledgeable about her job. The only thing that made me feel uncomfortable was the hygiene. I was a little taken aback when I was asked to lie on the bed but with no throw away liner. In fact no cover at all. So I was quite uncomfortable not knowing whether the bed had been disinfected after the previous patient. Overall it’s was an ok experience

A good place once past the booking stage

It took too long to book the appointment as there seems to be a messaging system between the person on the phone line & the person who actually books the appointment. Had to chase & only got a call back once appt was marked urgent.
Apart from problems booking the rest of the service was great

Review of advice

Without notification to the GP we can’t h get this mediation as advised. We are unclear how to proceed m. The therapist needs to ensure advice is actionable

The only disappointing side to the whole experience was the distance to travel to a clinic there was nothing local and took a whole day out of work to travel there and back. Poor clinic region options.
In clinic the procedure was brilliant and relaxed as it could be. If it was not for the distance traveling this would be 5 star. Clinic location was Birmingham not mention in the list below.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that your in-clinic experience was relaxed and that the procedure itself met your expectations - that means a great deal to our team.

We completely understand that travel distance can be inconvenient, particularly when it requires taking significant time out of your day. While we have permanent clinics in London, Cambridge and Manchester, we also run regular satellite clinics in Birmingham, Woking, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Orpington and Kettering.

The nurse who handled my 24-hour acid reflux monitoring was absolutely outstanding. From the initial explanation of the procedure to the removal of the device the following day, everything was handled with professionalism and compassion. She took the time to clearly explain how the monitor worked, what I should expect, and how to document my symptoms accurately. Her calm and reassuring manner made what could have been an uncomfortable experience much easier. I truly appreciated her patience and attention to detail. Excellent care from start to finish.

The instructions for use were clear but I was very disappointed that the video no longer exists. You should be available to take phone calls - patients are already not feeling confident and this doesn’t help.
