Carotid Disease

On my first appointment with Mr Telgenkamp I was made to feel at ease and was able to explain my symptoms without feeling rushed. He listened and explained some possible reasons for my symptoms and answered questions on any concerns that I had. After the scan I had a follow up appointment with Mr Telgenkamp for the results which confirmed what he had expected. This gave me confidence to believe that I was in good hands and he knew what he was talking about Mr Telgenkamp advised me on what treatment was best for my condition and once again took the time to explain what would happen and be done during this procedure. I felt confident and trusted his advise. On the day of my procedure Mr Telgenkamp took the time to come and see me before I went to theatre. I could not fault Mr Telgenkamp’s manner, honesty professionalism and excellent care.

Mr Telgenkamp is a credit to the NHS. I am sure that his patient list is extensive but nevertheless he has assessed me, been decisive about my needs and referrals. As a result he has treated me for varicose veins. I am a person who has previously suffered severe trauma to a lower leg in the past. As a result of the trauma, I fear any further interference with it. Without being overbearing this man identified my requirements, listened to my concerns and left me in no doubt that his actions would be in my best interests. Under local aneasthetic he carried out the required treatment whilst he and his staff chatted to me in a relaxed manner. The only pain I felt was the initial needle to numb the area. Thank you very much. I appreciate your professionalism and your ability to talk to people at different levels.

Further to my appointment with Dr Telgenkamp I felt compelled to write and say what a caring and compassionate nature he had. He could see that I have religiously been wearing support stockings and that I genuinely am trying everything to improve my leg. I came away feeling very positive with regard to ongoing treatment. I cannot speak highly enough about my experience.

Mr Bjorn Telgenkamp clearly explained my condition and what options were open to me so I understood and could make an appropriate decision. There was no rush and he gave me the time needed.

I was very impressed by the high level of professionalism shown during my appointment.

I was pleased to be seen just before my appointment time, and although quite brief, the consultation covered all the main queries on my mind. Mr Telgenkamp listened sympathetically and gave me the advice I needed at that point. A forward medication plan was advised which was later confirmed in a letter to myself and my GP and ongoing surveillance of my condition is being put in place. I felt confidence in Mr Telgenkamp and that he will address my future needs with skill and consideration.

I was seen today by Mr Telgenkamp who was very kind and informative. I was totally reassured by the answers he gave to my list of questions and now fully understand what to expect from both a treatment point of view and expectations as to the growth of the abdominal aortic aneurysm I have which was only discovered last November when I had a bladder scan. Thank you Mr Telgenkamp, you could not have been nicer and thanks too to your nurse. Obviously a happy team.
