I was referred during my first year of uni. Andy recognised my intellect and totally understood that my struggle at university was not ability, but, symptoms of ADHD. This was in 2014 and I have been seeing him on and off ever since.
My university journey took me through lots of mental health systems: UK Crisis services and US private system.
Andy beats all other psychiatrists by a mile: he actually takes time to understand context and provide reassurance. I get the sense with Andy that when he prescribes medication: it is genuinely because it can help (as opposed to NHS priority of being discharged quickly)
His meetings with me, which have been annually, have always helped: always refers back to previous meetings, and, this has enabled him to make a diagnosis of bi polar and provide further support and understanding of myself, which I would not have gotten otherwise.
Andy also replies to patient portal/email messages in depth, informatively and quickly.
