We found Dr Goode's bedside manners less than what would expect when you go private. When Dr Goode was doing the scan, I expected him to explain a bit of what he was seeing. I asked what can you see? He said I explain in a bit. But much later he showed us a drawing. Unfortunately in the past I have seen different consultants for other stuff privately. They are much more approachable than seeing them by NHS. He also said something which made me concerned late. Dr Goode said due to my veins being close to the surface, there is a danger burning the skin and leave a mark. Surely this is the case with everyone who decides to have this procedure done. Otherwise what's the point. Another word if you can't see them, you wouldn't put yourself through this. Put it this way, neither myself or my wife ( who was there with me) felt happy or assured when we walked out. It may be Dr Goode was having a bad day or didn't like me. And may be normally he is much more pleasant.
