There
are
no
words
to
explain
how
poor
my
experience
was
at
the
Mentone
General
Practice,
specifically
with
Dr
Beaumont.
I
would
urge
ANYONE
considering
this
practitioner
to
reconsider.
I
visited
the
practice
last
night
for
a
booked
appointment
to
discuss
my
mental
health
concerns.
With
my
appointment
commencing
ten
minutes
late,
I
went
in
prepared
to
talk
about
my
issues
and
had
also
emailed
through
my
blood
tests
from
my
previous
practitioner
for
the
Doctor
to
look
at.
Within
5
minutes
of
my
appointment,
without
any
prior
discussion
of
my
medical
history,
family
history,
personal
circumstances
I
was
offered
anti-depressants
(without
any
medical
or
family
history
taken).
When
I
questioned
the
solution
offered,
I
was
told
this
was
temporary
whilst
other
options
are
considered.
My
test
results
were
not
looked
at
-
and
when
I
pressed
for
more,
Dr
Beaumont
told
me
we
had
reached
the
time
limit
and
she
had
two
further
patients
(the
clinic
closed
after
me
-
it
felt
as
though
I
was
being
rushed
out).
Furthermore
I
was
assured
that
today,
my
test
results
would
be
examined
and
I
would
be
contacted
for
follow
up.
Well
-
guess
what,
I
haven't
been
contacted
and
I
imagine
I
wont
be.
Shocking
when
I
went
there
to
discuss
sensitive
issues
that
were
important
to
my
well
being
and
mental
health.
In
short,
I
am
horrified
that
an
appointment
of
this
sensitive
nature
was
handled
in
this
way
with
a
rushed
diagnosis
and
outcome
which
did
not
take
in
to
consideration
my
medical
or
family
history
(which
is
incredibly
dangerous)
not
to
mention
no
desire
for
a
thorough
mental
health
plan
or
any
follow
up.
I
have
researched
what
my
experience
should
have
been
when
broaching
my
mental
health
and
the
experience
I
had
fell
dangerously
below
a
minimum
standard.
I
had
selected
this
practice
and
Doctor
for
the
positive
reviews
-
and
a
bio
that
mentioned
care
and
attention
in
the
field
of
Mental
Health.
My
first
experience
in
speaking
up
about
my
concerns
was
incredibly
negative
and
I
would
encourage
anyone
with
similar
concerns
to
look
elsewhere
for
proper
support,
a
thorough
care
plan
and
follow
up.
