You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious.
But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation.
ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them?
This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them.
And if during the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face.
If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
