D4 medical nightmare!
Since when has having to wear prescription glasses or not been an issue when having a five year D4 professional driver medical check? I booked and paid for a D4 PSV medical online through Just Health that included the eyesight check, and I chose Medi Park clinic in Haringey N4 as its close to my home.
Big mistake!
I arrived on the day and allotted time. I was checked for blood pressure, temperature? and weight, and was told to go back to the front reception to be called for by the doctor. I was called and went into the doctors room and was told that due to me wearing glasses he could not perform the eyesight check. Also I needed to have the eyesight checked before he could perform the medical. I told the doctor and showed him my booking that I had paid in advance for this medical that included the eyesight check and no where did it mention this in my booking and terms. I've had D4 medicals several times over the years (I have to have a D4 medical every 5 years due to my age) and I've never encountered this as an issue before. You simply read a chart on the wall, irrespective if you wear glasses or not, and the doctors room had this chart on his wall.
I walked out feeling cheated, scammed and a tad angry. I phoned my booking company (Just Health) and they could not understand this issue either and I was told that they will probably take Medi Park clinic N4 off their list of clinics that they use going forward. Just Health were extremely apologetic and issued me a full refund there and then. I received this full refund into my bank account within 24 hours.
If I could give no stars to Medi Park clinic I would.
Do not use, very dodgy. Go elsewhere.
