Don't waste your time on him, arrogant and stuck up. His team are also very disorganised, it took over a month to chase my reports. Saw him for ME/Chronic fatigue, did a whole bunch of tests and consultations. He makes it out like he's an expert in ME/CFS and very understanding, but in the end he just prescribed anti-depressants and said to get rest. I don't pay several hundreds just to be told this, I expect some sort of help with treatment or at least feeling better. I am now seeing another dr who is able to help me better.

He was the rudest and most horrible doctor that I have ever met. I saw him in 2009. But he missed a serious lump on my thyroid. I told him that my neck looked thick. He felt it and told me it was just a fat pad. When later I went to have an acupuncture, a Chinese TCM doctor noticed my neck, felt it and told me that I had a lump there. I went to my GP and was given a scan which confirmed a nodule on my thyroid grand. When later I told him about it on the phone, he started to yell at me and said that the lump weren’t the cause of my problems etc. It’s unbelievable that he could still be practicing with his poor knowledge and disgusting manner??

Awful. Extremely rude. I’ve heard this from other patients. Totally missed fact I had POTS and I was hypermobile. Just said I had CFS. Told me to supplement vitamin D. Asked on dose, he just said take whatever. Don’t think he has a clue about CFS. He ruins life’s by wrongly diagnosing. Didn’t seem to understand how ill thyroid antibodies can make you either. Why or why does he have such a long waiting list!! Anyone else this bad at their profession wouldn’t be in it!

I wasn't impressed with his manner, very cold and dry. Doesn't listen much and comes across disinterested. He needs to work on his communications skills. Also has a long wait time for appointments which isn't great for a private doctor. All in all, you are treated as just another number coming through the door.

His stuff seemed to be overwhelmed sometimes when dealing with complex issues. The doctor seems to be happy with his first diagnose without questioning other signs within the blood tests, which could have other underlying causes... needs to explore things closer... All in all a good physician.

I found him knowledgable but not overly caring. He diagnosed me quickly but did not have time to discuss my conditioned further. The appointment started 30 mins late and felt rushed. Had to wait weeks for a report after my appointment which is pretty poor for a private appointment. Overall knowledgeable but not friendly or sensitive to his clients.

The doctor was extremely abrasive. Private appointment, so Iexpected to be listened to. Website says he listens to his patients. Found him very impolite. Never experienced anything like it. Was told 45 minute appointment, but it was shorter. Wish I’d listened to the other reviewer. As clearly this wasn’t just a off bad day!

Walked into his office sat down, his first words "what do you do" hmm, alarm bells started ringing, has a habit of looking over his glasses, very patronizing, doesn't listen to his patients concerns, complete waste of time and money.
