I wouldn't recommend seeing an orthopedist, Jerzy Kucharski. I went to get my MRI results read for £130. The doctor took one look and said it was beyond his competence. He didn't examine me, didn't ask about my lifestyle, etc., said absolutely nothing about the results, and didn't explain the MRI report, which is why I went. The doctor dismissed me as needing a neurosurgeon. I didn't get the sick note I paid for at the appointment; I only received a prescription. After leaving, I felt worse than before the appointment. Totally ignored. I asked for a medical report, wanting to have something on paper. The doctor said I was unfit for work and would receive a sick note, and the report would include disc herniation, stenosis, and other conditions. I expected everything to be taken care of immediately. I didn't get my sick leave and probably won't, even though I paid for it. (Edit: I didn't, even though I called for it.) I was supposed to wait a week for the medical report, but it turned out to be 10 days. In the end, the report was a joke. £60 extra just to describe 1/10th of what was wrong with me. The report doesn't say anything the doctor said would be there, and I have a witness who was with me at the surgery. When you pay privately, you expect better care, but I felt worse here than with free care. So the doctor didn't help me at all, and I learned nothing. I spent a total of £190 for nothing. I think the courtship can also be moved outside of work, because the woman who wrote the prescription seemed to be distracting the doctor, hence the mistakes. Regarding the report, I thought the doctor would describe my true condition, describe the MRI tests, hernia, and other issues, but he only described a tenth of my ailments and my actual health. I've never experienced such abysmal care. One woman was very nice, but Dorota, the manager and receptionist, was a disaster! When I told her I hadn't received a sick note at the appointment, she arrogantly claimed she couldn't get one because the doctor wasn't there and only gave it to me at the appointment. But he didn't, and it was my first time there, traveling from another city. The rude remarks made me understand what others meant in their reviews of the receptionist. So, I don't expect anything from this clinic anymore; it's a waste of time, money, and sanity. Zero empathy. I will never use this clinic again; steer clear. I secured a sick leave, free of charge, from my GP, without any grace period for six months :)
In my case, it's lumbar and thoracic discopathy, lumbar stenosis, spinal degeneration, arthritis, lateral spurs on the spine, etc. My knees are sagging, he hasn't even touched them, haha. What's in the report, the doctor could have read from the MRI scans :). There's no mention of it in the report!!!! Sue is an orthopedist dealing with the above-mentioned ailments, but as you can see, Jerzy Kucharski doesn't care. And he didn't address me. He brushed me off. He's a doctor visiting from Poland. In my opinion, he didn't even write the report, because he was in Poland on vacation, and at a meeting, it was said that the above issues would be included, but they weren't. In the UK, there's no set time limit for a stay. The doctor decides, and Dorota will insist it's a month or two at most. It's pathetic that they're misinformed, and they'll keep arguing when they're wrong. A little humility, Dorota :) because you're not there for punishment; you're only getting paid, but for swearing, not for help and knowledge, as you can see. And please don't send me sleepy emails from the doctors or call me to explain this opinion, because there's nothing to explain. And I want nothing to do with this clinic. Your incompetence is so blatant it's shocking. Shameful!
