So, I guess I should start by saying that Dr. Alan Hakim is great! I have been through many years of trying to get to the bottom of my problems that have manifested in many way's e.g. bowel problems, joint problems and heart rate issues. They where, up to my consultation with Dr. Hakim yesterday seen as problems unconected in physiological terms and always treated as isolated individual problems. A holistic view is what I needed. I had connected allot of the dots myself by the time we met (self education and an interest in studying anatomy academically). And I must say its such a shame that people cannot be put this mans direction sooner because it would have saved many year's of problem solving that could have been used on improving symptoms for me and the many other people out there suffering. ehlers-danlos syndrome is a condition that few physicians have a detailed knowledge of and this leads to many roads being explored that could have been explained far earlier in the diagnostic process. As I say, it is a shame that general practitioners and even many orthopedic surgeons and rheumatologists have little knowledge on this subject. Dr. Hakim was extremely empathetic and professional and answered all of my questions with, clearly, a vast degree of specific knowledge and also introduced me to a case specific tailored plan to improve my health. I feel a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders knowing I have 'the right guy on the job'. If you are reading this review and debating whether or not to see him in consultation I urge you to go for it.
