I have read the other reviews on here, after four years of being under Dr Anna Crown as my consultant and can only express surprise at the negative ones. I ended up in A&E after having a grand mal or tonic clonic seizure out of nowhere. The last thing I remember being in A&E and the young doctor in there telling me that they thought I had had a “faint”. I was unable to speak at the time and fell to sleep. When I woke up, I was in a ward and Dr Crown came to see me every day, advising that my seizure was due to extremely low calcium levels due to my thyroid being removed many years before and that she diagnosed me with hypoparathyroidism. The treatment received then and ever since my diagnosis for what is a rare condition has been second to none. On my first follow up appointment, my daughter came with me and she was fantastic, explaining everything regarding ongoing treatment and the fact that she would see me twice a year for the foreseeable future to keep an eye on everything. Both my daughter and I found her to be very kind, approachable and thorough. I usually see her but otherwise, I will see someone else but Dr Crown has already briefed them on my diagnosis ahead of the appointment. In actual fact, she actually saved my life, if I had been sent home after my apparent “faint” I wouldn’t have been treated and may well have had more seizures or have gone into a coma. Dr Crown is a fantastic doctor and a boost to the NHS.

Anna is one of the most caring, understanding and knowledgeable professionals I have ever dealt with (I have seen many due to my complex condition) She listens, researches and deals with my condition amazingly. I have been seeing Anna for 14 years and can't recomend her highly enough. If I need an argent appointment she will always fit me in and she really helped me on my fertility journey. I dread the day she retires! Amazing all round consultant and wonderful person.

I have tried to manage, unsuccessfully, my thyroid condition alone because of how unhelpful, unkind and disrespectful I found this woman. She showed little care or attention which was reflected in the letter she wrote to my GP. She believed my condition could not possibly have been effected by the small amount of medication I was on calling it “ homeopathic”. Even my Dr said this was clearly not accurate as my blood result proved that small changes clearly impacted my blood results. I was left with the feeling that she was not interested in this condittion and hell bent on destroying the thyroid and putting me on a replacement thyroxin regardless of the my fears and wishes. Had she been in anyway compassionate regarding this approac, or taken any time to inform or reassure, I may even have been open to it rather than terrified. I now need to return as I have developed new conditions due to Graves’ disease. I will not be seeing this consultant again. I would rather take my chances alone than see her again.

Dr Crown is amazing. She spotted I had a rare disorder and the care I subsequently received from her and the team goes way beyond any expectation. Dr Crown managed my expectations and clear and helpful at every turn and had incredible empathy. I cannot believe anybody could ever have a problem with her Thank you
