Dr Bhanu Chadalavada

Written by a NHS patient at Campbell House

I have just had my medication review (for pregnancy) with Dr Chadalavada, and he has been excellent in his consultation. I felt like I was being listen to and Dr Chadalavada also explained, in great detail, how the medication will influence my pregnancy. I feel a lot more reassured now about the medication that I will need to take during my pregnancy. An excellent service.

You did not get annoyed with me asking constant questions about statistics and bi polar. You explained things clearly and didn’t seem rushed so I didn’t feel like I was just a number. Actually cares and a genuine doctor.

Happily surprised by Dr. Chadalavada. I've seen a few psychiatrist in my years and I've never actually met one who i felt was listening to me. Great communication, fantastic knowledge base and seems just a very open and friendly doctor all round. I didn't feel judged at all when discussing my history, just that he was listening and i could almost see his brain working while i spoke, calculating what diagnosis he was thinking of and the information he could pass on to me. I was directed to a page that had more apt information than the hundreds of mental health leaflets I've been given. The fact that he wanted to be face-to-face as much as possible in the current climate was also a lot better than i thought, honestly the thought of a video appointment gave me bad anxiety but it was so easy and straight forward. I was also put at ease with his reassurances over my medication during my pregnancy and any questions i had in my mind to ask about that particular thing, were answered before they were even said. Brilliant service. Thank you Dr. Chadalavada I'd be more than happy to have you on my mental health team forever :D

Dr Chadalavada has supported both myself and my husband during what was a very stressful time for all of us. At all times though we felt we had an extremely experienced professional to turn to for help when we needed it. We were so well supported by the whole team. He is very friendly and approachable and easy to talk. He has reviewed my mood and medications on a regular basis. He also showed an interest in our son which was lovely. He was very complimentary in terms of how well I had done with my recovery which gave me the boost I needed. He always took the time to explain things to us and gave us opportunities to ask questions. We learnt so much from him about our experiences and he made a point in saying that it was not my fault which was also helpful to hear at the time. If we do choose and are fortunate to have a second baby then I would really hope with his support that we could manage things better and learn from this recent this experience.
