Dr Maksoud was recommended to me by a friend who had also been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism & was under his care. My diagnosis came in 2018 when I presented to the GP with extreme fatigue. Bloods were taken which highlighted the problem & I was prescribed the usual Levothyroxine as treatment. Since my initial diagnosis, not once has my GP ever proactively called me or attempted to manage my condition, request further blood tests or provide a review of my medication. I am a career-minded, hard-working individual with something to give & yet there i was on standard treatment with no follow-up assessment, still suffering with quite debilitating & severe symptoms & no support. I could not function properly. Dr Maksoud has been a truly outstanding source of help. His vast experience meant that he actually heard what I was telling him & was able to understand my feelings & translate them into a course of action that would help - not always drug related but lifestyle also. He actually understands what it means to be a Hypothyroid patient. Our reviews are very thorough indeed & he knows what questions to ask so that we can together quickly identify any deterioration or decide upon medical treatment changes. Dr Maksoud is very accessible, personable, approachable & understanding & to be honest, I doubtful that I would receive such a high level of care from an alternative consultant.
