Review titled Failed Skin cancer referral
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 October 2023
Over the period of a year I saw 2 different GPs on 3 separate occasions regarding a 2 skin lesions. At my 1st appointment I was given anti-fungal cream which made little difference. After about 6 months of using the cream I returned to see a second GP who sent a skin scrap to be analysed. I returned to the practice to see a GP for the third time and the GP confirmed the lesion was probably not fungal and suggested that as I was concerned perhaps I should see a dermatologist. It was stated that as I had private healthcare I should use this. I started the process of trying to see a Dermatologist privately in Jan/Feb 2023. There was a 3 month wait and unfortunately the Dermatologist who I planned to see went on long term sick leave so I contacted a second dermatologist. By then I was getting quite worried so I sent pictures of one of my lesions to the Dermatologist. The Dermatologist was concerned and sent the pictures to a surgeon at East Grinstead Hospital (McIndoe centre) and I was advised that one of the lesions looked very suspicious and should be immediately removed. I heard of this just prior to me leaving to go on a 2 week holiday. Over my holiday I contacted the surgeon who informed me that I potentially had a squamous cell carcinoma that needed to be removed immediately. Both lesions have now been removed. During this process I learned that East Grinstead Hospital runs a 2 week wait service (NHS) for referrals of suspicious skin lesions and I was informed that the advice is that if a GP is in any doubt , the GP should immediately refer the patient to use this service. Luckily for me both lesions have been removed and for now my situation has been resolved. But despite this, I experienced a huge amount of anxiety which could have been totally avoided, it has also costs me financially and more importantly, the stressful situation totally dominated my holiday. Considering all of this, I strongly recommend that the GPs at Tonbridge Medical group are re-educated /retrained on how to use the 2 week wait service at East Grinstead Hospital. This would help to avoid other patients having to go through the same stressful situation that I have suffered or worse, have their cancers undiagnosed.

Review titled Exceptional
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by F Ward - Posted on 07 November 2022
The receptionist was extremely caring and got me an appointment for an hour later. I arrived feeling extremely unwell and was seen soon after my appointment time. The doctor was outstanding in her caring approach, attention to detail and speed in getting an ambulance to take me to the Maidstone Stroke Unit. I cannot thank you enough for your care and I think you do an outstanding job at such a difficult and testing time for the NHS.

Review titled Excellent care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Suzy C. - Posted on 28 June 2022
I’ve received consistently excellent care from my GP at TMC, who has taken a genuine and thoughtful interest in my well-being since my first appointment in late 2021 for worrying symptoms related to stress. My GP has gone above and beyond what I expected and what I experienced at my previous GP practice and I am immensely grateful for the support and care given to me in a difficult time.

Review titled Thank you.

The practice has been so understanding and helpful. Receptionist was so kind when I began to get upset over the phone. Telephone conversation with a Dr on the same day made me immediately feel at ease and then a blood test the next day. Follow up consultation today has reassured me and been extremely helpful. Thank you to everyone for all that you do.
