Psychiatry-UK

Written by a patient

After a long and difficult journey trying to see a psychiatrist through the NHS, both my GP and I decided that I needed to see a private consultant in order to receive a diagnosis. I chose Psychiatry UK because of all the positive reviews and especially the feedback from patients about a fabulous patient centred service which was supportive and a very positive experience. I saw Dr Sharif within 2 days of finding Psychiatry UK. The assessment was very relaxed and being in my own home really helped with my anxiety. Dr Sharif was very pleasant, professional and made me feel very comfortable in a short space of time, and after the hour assessment I finally had a diagnosis! I had been living with undiagnosed rapid cycling bipolar for a very long time and I was finally prescribed the correct medication, whilst taking me off the (completely opposite to what I needed) incorrect medication I have been on for 6 years with the NHS. Unfortunately I did have some post assessment issues with the NHS; my GP wouldn’t prescribe my new medication due to local shared service agreements with the nhs mental health team. The team at Psychiatry UK were more than supportive throughout the whole experience, going above and beyond to ensure I could receive the correct medication. I want to thank the whole team for getting me the medication I needed in such a timely and professional manner. I just wish that the NHS mental health services had the funding and capacity to work half as well as Psychiatry UK. As a patient they made me feel like a person, not just another number being lost in the system. I highly recommend Psychiatry UK, it’s fabulous support team and patient centred Consultants. Thank you for helping me finally get my life on track!

There is an impressive array of Psychiatrists available for consultation. The booking system is good and the video conferencing worked very well. Consultations were available within a few weeks. Support staff were very efficient.

I recently had an adult ADHD assessment with Dr Montgomery at this online clinic. I was sent questionnaires to fill in the week prior, followed by an hour-long consultation via video link on the Psychiatry-UK app. I can recommend the service at Psychiatry-UK without reservations. I found them to be efficient, organised, and helpful. They promptly answered all my queries prior to booking my consultation, and their fees are transparent. Their app works well, and they offer a much-needed specialist service that I have no access to locally. The convenience of attending my appointment from my home, at a time that suits me, makes this a very unique service. Yet I found that the video conferencing format didn't diminish the personal patient-doctor connection at all. Following the consultation, I was promptly emailed a copy of the GP report and everything on it was absolutely spot on. Their invoicing system is clear and simple to use. I have left a separate review for Dr Montgomery, whom I can also confidently recommend to anyone seeking a similar assessment.

Psychiatry UK are lifesavers. They fill a gap in the health system whilst offering great value and are very professional and communicative. I had an online consultation and this absolutely streamlines healthcare for those conditions that are easily diagnosable through video chat. The psychiatrist I spoke to was excellent in every way.

I approached Psychiatry UK after heaaring positive reports from others in a Facebook group. I wanted to bypass the NHS waiting lists and I am so glad I did - I had an appointment, diagnosis and medication within a week; I feel like a weight (and a wait!!) has been lifted and, based on the efficiency of the service so far, feel confident that Psychiatry UK will be on top of my treatment for as long as I need them. From first contact, the staff have been approachable, respectful and professional. Thank you so much! :)
