Dr Alaistair Hepburn

Written by a NHS patient at Southlands Hospital

Dr Hepburn comes across as caring, knowledgeable, patient and kind. He explains clearly and listens, engaging with you. He is approachable and clearly wants to help. One feels valued as an individual and unique. He does not give the impression he thinks he’s God, as some consultants unfortunately do. I have recommended him several times and we are very fortunate to have him in West Sussex.

After 36 years of seeing a plethora of medical professionals who didn’t know what was wrong with me, Dr Hepburn finally diagnosed me correctly. The relief was incredible. He is approachable and patient and takes the time to genuinely help patients. I’ve been a patient of his for eight years now and can’t recommend him highly enough. We just need more rheumatologists like him.

So very grateful to Dr Hepburn for seeing me last week and getting me the medication I needed to help with my very painful problem. Have help at last. Many many thanks. Audrey Thomas

After 6 months of constant shoulder pain and attendant lack of mobility one visit to Dr Hepburn, and his recommendation for suitable medication has left me pain free - something which a succession of physiotherapists and orthopaedic consultants did not achieve. He will consider future long term treatment following examination of blood samples and other tests but has advised me of the likely alternatives for the longer term. In the meantime I have my life back. Thank you!

I recently saw this Consultant both privately and under the NHS. I had previously had a very distressing experience with another Rheumatologist. Dr Hepburn listens patiently, maintains eye contact and generally allows the patient to express how quality of life is being affected. Also gives space for patient discussion about the best way forward to manage the symptoms. Felt I could say everything I needed to and left the appointments with much more confidence for the future.
