Dr Sharon McHale edinburgh

The doctor overly pushed and superficially attended my friend. She was too reluctant to help her and refer her to a specialist. Equally, she was too pushy and reluctant to hear the information that I wanted to share about my friend's medical history. Note that my friend's mental condition doesn't allow her to have a cohesive and descriptive speech (and thoughts), thus she is not capable of disclosing crucial information about her condition and medical history. Now, my friend she is in shock because of this "doctor" and she can't trust the NHS Lothian. She wants just to leave the country since she is not getting any help here, whilst she is in an urgent need to receive some medical and pharmaceutical treatment. This incident has left us (her friends) to deal with a serious mental health issue without having any significant help. Utterly disappointing and failing the Hippocratic Oath that this person has supposedly given.

Dr McHale is the finest of Doctors indeed. An individual with true empathy for whatever need you have and an encyclopedic knowledge of the body and mind. I have dealt with this Doctor on various occasions and feel this is as close as I can get to a truly holistic medical experience. The Doctor always calls when advised and actually listens to you before formulating a plan to facilitate your return to health. A true credit to the medical profession in a time where medical staff are pressured and generally over-worked!

They refused to register me. Despite the fact that I have paid to the government for medical insurance and the GP being nearest to my house, they denied me saying they dont have a space. During this tough time they have shown lack of sensitivity. Pathetic.

Dr McHale is an excellent GP. She is very caring and knowledgeable.
