Excellent Discussion a totally different direction to help me get better after the session I felt I had hope

Dr Sarkhel was very efficient and flexible with appointments, which made it easier to go through the diagnosis process. I like that he takes a holistic approach to treatment - we don't just discuss medication during check ups, but additional external support like counseling and social activities. This is helping me to better manage my ADHD symptoms and capitalise on the boost the medication provides to create better habits. It's not easy, but having check ups on these additional factors helps me stay on track. His assistants are also great at sending appointment reminders and checking if you need rescheduling, which helps me remember how close it is and make any changes with better than notice than if I handled it on my own.

If you are reading this, then you may be considering Dr. Abdelghani, I saw him and am writing this for ADHD but I hope you will still read this for whatever reason you are seeing him. Dr Abdelghani is simply one of the kindest Men I’ve ever met, he has your best interest at heart. I hope he won’t mind me saying, I decided to write this review at the end of the process so that I’d have a full understanding of what it is and how it could help me. I hope to share my story and that interaction with him, with you. I’m the managing director of a small business, it wasn’t until my 50’s that I discovered that my son was ADHD, neither he or I are hyperactive which makes it harder to spot. I instinctively knew that there was something in my son that I recognised in me but I couldn’t put my finger on it. I was/am dyslexic (diagnosed) and my behaviour was always put down to that but for me it didn’t really explain it. I’ve always known there was something in me that made me feel different from my peers, not better, not worse, just different. Some things I struggled with, like paying attention and remembering what I was doing from one second to another or remembering names at a party (how I learned to mask!)… and for some things I seemed to have superhuman abilities, almost as though the rest of the world was in slow motion. My ability to hyper-focus is outstanding. For my son, our journey began when his grades started to nosedive and his teenage behaviour started to kick in. He was getting wins (in his mind) at school for mucking around and the endless detentions had little or no effect other than to make the situation worse and worse until eventually, his tutor confessed to me in a parent-teacher meeting that “This is the worst parent-teacher meeting I’ve ever had to do.” It was a penny drop moment and in that second I decided to remove him from the school. Luckily his next school recognised the behaviour almost immediately and embraced him. Some months later I was invited to a school seminar, along with a few other parents, on ADHD. I listened intently and like a wave crashing through my consciousness, it sunk in. By the end of it I was in tears. This was it. Not just my son’s but now my life suddenly made sense and we could start the journey with my lovely boy. How happy I was to have what seemed like an answer. Once you know you can start to tackle it and that’s the real benefit. And then I came across Dr Abdelghani. There was a lot in the press about bad actors in the ADHD market, even on Harley Street. I can’t tell you about that because my experience has been 100% positive but there are negative stories you can find about the treatment. We are talking about our children here, I’m talking about my child so naturally I was cautious. Dr Abdelghani doesn’t treat children or didn’t when I saw him. I decided that I wanted to go on the journey so that I could fully understand the benefits of the treatment before asking my son to do it. Dr Abdelghani and his team were nothing but lovely from the start, very understanding, very caring and very professional. The process is very structured, he asks lots of questions of me and my loved ones too. They also had questionnaires so that he could build a full picture. I went for my first meeting and he had lots of questions for me. Putting all the evidence together and after the consultation, he felt confident that I had ADHD. When you see the questionnaires you will understand both how in-depth it is and realise that there is an understanding of the condition. Not all the questions are yes some don’t match some do, not all ADHD people are the same either. He is not looking to diagnose those that are not and you will see that. You can have full trust in Dr Abdelghani. The first treatment I tried made me feel very odd, it’s hard to explain, just not really myself, so we immediately changed it and I went on to another treatment, I don’t think it’s helpful to give you treatment names because I think it’s important that you have faith. I went into this with huge excitement, I was looking for a magic pill that would fix me, change my life and make it all go away. I started on the smallest dose but was somehow expecting some sort of miracle to happen. I reported back that I could feel mild benefits but not a great deal. So Dr Abdelghani tried me on a larger dose and again I reported more benefits but was not overwhelmed so finally he tried me on the largest dose. I loved it, finally, I was able to hold focus not just for a short time but all day. It was amazing but over the next month, I realised that I was sunk in concentration! It was my hyperfocus but all the time and this didn’t feel good either so we lowered the dose again and then again until I was back at the start with the lowest dose. And this is where I sit. This may be a surprize to you… is it a miracle? No. Has it solved my ADHD? No. Does it help me function? Yes. Has my life improved? Yes. So where are the benefits for me. It’s simple, I can focus more consistently than I’ve been able to in the past and that’s huge. It’s improved my working life, allowed me to progress and not to be held back by an inability to stay tuned in to the task as hand. What it hasn’t done. I don’t feel as though it’s helped with my emotional regulation. My memory is still rubbish but I still have all the benefits of ADHD but have lost some of the things that held me back which is lovely. I’m not saying it will work for you. It may not. I’m just saying what worked for me and I’m so grateful to have met Dr Abdelghani. In conclusion So the reason I did it was for my son , now 19, he has since decided to take a different route. His decision. He has turned to natural ways of dealing with it which is amiable. He has cold showers in the morning which helps his body to regenerate endorphins, you should hear him puffing, he does a great deal of sport and exercise which helps him and he forces himself to compete, no easy task for people with ADHD who don’t get much of a win from achieving. Good on him, at least he understands it, the treatment is there for the taking if he decides he wants it in the future. For me… I’m sticking with it :-) I wish you so much luck, my heart burst for you. Charles

I have reflected a lot on the difficult few years that we have had with our daughter (thankfully now well on the road to a full recovery). During that time, out of everyone that supported her, Dr. Mistry had the most positive impact. From the first meeting when he called out her eating disorder (a huge relief to me after fighting for the previous 6 months to get her help), his clear recommendation of inpatient care, his attention and care during her time in hospital and eventually her discharge to day support. I trusted Dr. Mistry fully from Day 1; he was always clear, professional, direct (but with compassion), entirely patient-centred and extremely responsive in terms of communication. When we were at sea, living in terror, his support and guidance were invaluable. I count ourselves very lucky to have found Dr. Mistry at that time of crisis. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Dr Kaur was very warm, kind and took the time to understand my problem. I would definitely return to her clinic and appreciate her advice and solutions.

Veru good doc

Normally i am not too happy when I have to see a doctor, but It is always a pleasure to see Dr Whitby! She does explain everything very well, makes you feel at ease and understood. I am very grateful to have found such an excellent GP. I have been her patient now for many years and have total trust in her professional knowledge. Caroline

I feel blessed to be a patient of Dr Walsh. Ĥe is a kind, caring and empathetic doctor who I trust 100% with my care. Dr Walsh got me back on my feet after a severe episode of depression and anxiety. I value that Dr Walsh sees me as a whole person and thinks about how my other medical conditions impact my mental health. Thank you so much.

I am delighted to have this opportunity to express my respect and appreciation for Dr. Ute von Lerse and her extraordinary professional abilities as a first class clinician. She has been instrumental in my being able return from a deep and dark place into which I plunged four years ago. She has been my inspiration and my salvation as we worked so hard together on the most demanding, yet most satisfying, journey of my long life. Her sagacity and understanding has enabled me to not only regain myself but also to grow as a person and achieve a normality and an enjoyment and understanding of life which I had never considered possible.. Thank you Dr. Ute. I shall remain indebted and grateful to your skill and understanding for the rest of my life. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who is willing to work hard to regain their mental health and to grow for the benefit ,not only of themselves, but those who love them to benefit as well.

Dr Bloomfield has helped me be the best version of myself. He has been patient and made me feel at ease when I was lost. Thanks to him I am now more in control of my life than I ever have been. His advice and bedside manner are nothing more than excellent.
