Just to get the ball rolling, I have voted Very.
It took me a long time and a move to France before having confidence in a professional. My GP in the UK was ok but when it came to psoriasis he was absolute rubbish, and as for the dermatologist I was referred too, I would like to go back and meet that man again.
First I would keep him waiting for an hour, then I would get a nurse to take him to a tiny cold damp two tone brown and grey room and tell him to remove all his cloths. Another half an hour later I would go in, hardly talk to him have a passing glance and say "Mmmm You Have Psoriasis." Now comes the fun part, I'm going to get a cup full of MTX and shove them down his throat.
Sorry I went a bit off track there, as you can probably tell my experience has not been good and I did stop seeing a physician for the reasons stated in the survey. But now I do have one that knows what she is doing and spends time listening and talking to me, before giving me something (Stelara) that has given me my life back, I'm very happy.
Oh and her room is nice and bright, not damp, and I'm not left hanging around for ages. Though if on the rear occasion I had to wait a few minutes, there is lovely plastic lump of skin to play with that shows all the different layers.
Thank you my dermatologist, you know who you are.
