Psychiatry-UK

Written by a patient

Having been told by my NHS GP that the average waiting time to be seen by an adult ADHD specialist is between 11 and 14 months, I decided to go to a private clinic for the first time. This was by far the best decision I have made. Absolutely every staff member I dealt with have been extremely professional and knowledgable. No queues, no waiting time, no inconvenience whatsoever. I got seen by a specialist (Dr Ashir) within a couple of days and at the time slot convenient for me. Psychiatry UK is a brilliant clinic, they have a really good online portal where you can see all updates and medical notes in real life. In comparison to other ADHD clinics, Psychiatry UK offers very competitive prices as well, without any compromise on the quality of service you receive as a patient. I am so thankful to Dr Ashir for having been so attentive to my case from the very start. He is a really great expert in this field and I would confidently recommend him to anyone I know. Thank you Psychiatry UK clinic, Dr Ashir and my nurse Jenny!

When I eventually overcame my fear of contacting someone about a diagnosis for ADHD I found PSYCHIATRY-UK extremely helpful and very approachable. Getting an appointment was very quick, easy and painless. The staff were incredibly efficient at answering all my questions and went beyond their remit in ensuring all avenues of financing the process were investigated. Something I did not expect. This organisation has primarily got the wellbeing of their patients at heart. Something that cannot always be said about some privately run health clinics. Dr. Elena Ghetau was very friendly, approachable and professional in her conduct throughout as well as being empathic and efficient at the same time. Although I am in a very early stage of the process I highly recommend this organisation.

I'd like to say that even though I felt rather nervous about the whole process of getting a diagnosis for my suspected condition, it was a very relaxed and interesting experience. Dr. Elena Ghedau came across totally non judgemental, pleasant, empathic but efficient at the same time. She for warned about sometimes having to be short and seemingly rude having to cut me short for reasons of time constraint. The whole process seemed very comprehensive and was well prepared and supported by the secretarial staff alike. I feel if anything relief in getting answers to questions I've asked myself for my entire adult life. I'd like to recommend Dr. Ghetau whole heartedly for the diagnosis of ADHD.

If you are reading this to make a decision if you should use this service (especially if you are an ADHD patient) all I can say is: YES go for it, don't hesitate! The waiting times in my area are about 5 months and this is actually really short comparing to how long other people had to wait. With Psychiatry-UK I had an appointment within a week and a diagnosis within 2. I was able to choose who I would like to be seen by. The Dr was friendly and knowledgeable and actually gave me some insight into my behavior/symptoms as well. The video conversation is very convenient definitely prefer that to having to go to an office. I started my medication straight away under the supervision of ADHD nurse who listened to my concerns and was not at all judgmental about anything I had to say. The first medication was not a good fit for me even though I saw some improvements and she listened to that and gave me the option of trying a different drug which is much better. She took into consideration my situation regarding work to make the medication schedule better for me and gave me tips throughout. She is always a click away if I have any concerns even weekends and it is really reassuring even though I didnt actually run into any issues so far. I am so thankful for this service because if you have ADHD you know how hard it is to actually get things sorted, I've initiated the process at my GP 2 years ago and due to many circumstances nothing came out of it until now when I found Psychiatry-UK. The money is absolutely worth spending on this service, I have been belittled and treated unkindly by my GP practice when I broached the subject and here all I experienced was friendliness and support starting from the person that picked up my call at initial inquiry to the Drs and nurse prescriber that led my care. Thank you.

I can whole heartedly recommend Psychiatry-UK and Dr Ilyas. I had been struggling for years and decided to go down the private route for various reasons and I am glad I did. I found Dr Ilyas after carrying out my own research on Psychiatry-UK and reading reviews on Dr Ilyas and it was one of the best decisions I have made. I was seriously stuggling with my condition and after a 90 minute consultation via video, and my partner and I filling out extensive questionnaires about my history it was great to finally meet him by video. I felt the consultation was great. Dr Ilyas was very empathetic, understanding and it was nice to offload everything I was feeling and get a diagnosis and medication that is changing my life for the better. I looked into doing a face to face meeting with a psychiatrist for an ADHD assesment in both Bristol and London but it was simply too expensive, time consuming wrt travel and Psychiatry-UK was much more affordable at less than half the cost for the consultation. So if cost is also an issue for you this is the route to go down. I am now in my third month of medication and stabilising on my dosage for Elvanse which is amazing. I am due to be referred back to my GP soon and will hopefully get an NHS prescriptions. Either way private or NHS prescription the cost of the drugs is totally work the improvement in my life. Don't delay.

I was incredibly impressed by how professional Psychiatry UK is. I had to have several conversations with admin staff regarding the alteration of appointments and nothing was ever a problem to them, they just sorted things out quickly and kept me informed of the changes we had made by both e mail and a text message. I am delighted with the service.

From start to finish the service has been amazing. After waiting 12 months for an nhs appointment it was clear that the person doing it had no real grasp of my issues. It was then clear that the route to diagnosis was going to require several further appointments miles away from home with the titration period taking many months. I was so upset after the appointment that I decided to bite the bullet and go privately. I was not disappointed. I got an appointment within 48 hours and despite me returning forms over the weekend the office replied and kept me updated about my appointment. The doctor was amazing and confirmed my diagnosis during my appointment. He clearly explained the plan and the medication nurse contacted me within 24 hours. They sent the prescription by recorded delivery so I could get started straight away. I am very happy with the service and have recommended it to 3 family members!
