Hawthorn Drive Surgery


Unacceptable 8 week check for myself & baby

Awful experience for 8 week check after having my baby, extremely vague questions nothing with regards to my physical health at all. Not confident in the check that was done for my babies health most concerning was when the doctor threw my baby in the air to test neck strength!! He wasnt weighed properly just my partner standing on the scales with and without him. No length measurement. Completely rushed and didn’t feel like any of the correct questions were even asked as per the nhs guidelines for the appointment, really unhappy and now looking to move surgery. Asked to sort out my contraception as this was advised by midwife this would be at this appointment and the nhs guidelines advise this would be done at this appointment and was told to make an appointment!
