I have been to see Dr. Ian Gardiner after my doctor referred me to see him.
I did a whole bunch of tests & he said he will call me when he has details sent to him from past tests.
One week passes, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, fifth week passes so I call him. From week 6 to week 11 since, I'd call & get reception. I ask what is going on starting with being calm to end up furious each week that passes.
Every call receptionist says the doctor is with a patient, he will call you back. He NEVER does. Or go to your regular doctor, he has tests sent to him (NO, he isn't qualified to tell me, he doesn't use that terminology, Dr. Gardiner has to) Every call the receptionist gives me the run-around & wrong phone numbers. Every time I call I had asked when Dr. Ian would be available she asks why then insists on giving solutions. I have a right to speak to him & I shouldn't have to explain why I am asking when he is free.
All of this would be avoided if I either spoke directly to him or if he would just be honest from the beginning- that he hasn't done squat.
I'm not the only one, many other friends & family experience exactly the same and will encourage them to give reviews also.
My advice: STAY THE HELL AWAY!!!
