Dr Rugg-Gunn is, without doubt, the most professional, thorough, knowledgeable and empathetic Doctor I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He actively listened to me, never once rushed me, even when I struggled with word finding difficulties he remained patient and polite and you can see that he genuinely enjoys his clinics as this comes across through his warm and friendly manner. I have never seen another Doctor (privately or via the NHS) who was as thorough when discussing my clinical and symptom history. I knew whatever the outcome of this professional and thorough appointment would be, I could leave knowing I had been given the right information. As the appointment was coming to a natural end, Dr Rugg-Gunn not only explained his decision making process when going through what he recommended, but he delivered this in a way that I’ve never heard before…after giving me all of thus information without overloading me might I add, he then asked me, the patient, if I would like to follow this plan! I have never been asked my opinion by a healthcare professional in my life and I was absolutely delighted to feel like not only was I receiving the best care possible but that my agreement genuinely mattered to Dr Rugg-Gunn. I obviously agreed as his future care plan was beyond anything I ever imagined possible. Dr Rugg-Gunn is not your average Specialist, he is without doubt the best, and this was proven again shortly after my appointment when I received his clinic letter. I have never read such a thorough, professional and detailed clinic letter. Dr Rugg-Gunns secretary I must add, is also a consummate professional and simultaneously extremely friendly and approachable. I could not have imagined a better experience from start to finish. I look forward to seeing Dr Rugg-Gunn again soon and until then I can rest easy knowing I am under his care.

I have had Fergus manage my epilepsy for many years, until recently. A person who always filled me with confidence, and hope. He made my wife very comfortable, and although I have a great neurologist in Chalfont now, it will always be in our minds, during my most challenging times

One of the most knowledgable and kindest men you could meet. Dr Rugg-Gunn helped me from the age of 15 in a very dark and worrying time. He has always listened, taken everything on board and best of all really understands the trauma someone has gone through. His knowledge of Epilepsy is second to none and he had me on the road to recovery in a very short space of time, for such a debilitating illness this was so important. I caught up with him after a long while and it was like we saw each only yesterday. A truly great bloke, who I'm very indebted too. He's the only person I come across which I'm so happy not to run into on a regular basis, but also unhappy that we don't catch up enough. An odd one :) For anyone out there looking for the best doctor in the business, look no further!

I was a patient with Dr Rugg Gunn for 3-4 years when i was diagnosed with epilepsy. No doctor could get control over my epilepsy but after one session i had a fit free period of nearly 4 years. To the point that i stopped believing i had epilepsy. Then i made a mistake and started missing appointments and was discharged because of my own fault. This led to a recurrence of my fits. I firmly believe if i stayed under Dr Rugg Gunn’s treatment i would have been fit free for a long time. This doctor has your best interest as priority along your treatment. I have now been referred again after 10 years and cannot wait to start the treatment. Dr Rugg Gunn nearly had me off my medication as well, which is important as there are side effects with every medication. However, the medication this Dr provided me had the least side effects.

I have the greatest respect for Dr Rugg-Gunn and feel that I would be in a worse situation if it was not for him. I stayed at The William Gower Centre for 8 weeks in 2017 and it was the best thing I did regarding my epilepsy. I made very special friends and was the place that I didn’t have to “wear my mask” and say I was fine. It was a place where everyone supported each other. I feel so lucky to have Dr Rugg-Gunn and he always listens, cares and does the best for me. He is an amazing Neurologist and understands and supports myself and all patients. He is a Dr that I feel safe with as I know he will always put my health and safety first and also cares what this is doing to my mental health. Thank goodness for this amazing Doctor.
