It could of been a phone call as didn’t need to see me in person
Thank you for your feedback. Your clinic appointment was booked as a face-to-face consultation via the referral pathway from your GP. Unfortunately, I am unable to change this to a telephone consultation from my side. If you would prefer a telephone or virtual appointment, please contact the administration team directly to update your preference. For future appointments, I would be very happy to arrange a virtual consultation, provided the admin team is informed in advance.
