Dr Iqbal Mohiuddin

Written by a private patient at IamPsychiatry

I sought out Dr Mohiuddin after first being referred to Psychiatry-UK for an ADHD assessment as an NHS patient. After several months on their waiting list, and then being advised they didn't actually know how many months longer it could be before I got an appointment, I decided to go private. My 17 year old daughter had recently been diagnosed and it was pretty clear we had many symptoms in common. I did lots of research and the reasonable cost as well as the excellent reviews persuaded me to try Iqbal. I have to say I am very happy I did, both him and Pam have been supportive, patient and professional. I received my diagnosis and Iqbal has titrated me through the medications. This isn't a quick or easy process and can be very frustrating, if not disheartening at times. However, we eventually settled on medication that worked best for me and it's been a huge help in terms of focus and motivation. I really feel it will make a big difference for me going forward. I strongly advise anyone getting a private diagnosis for ADHD to maybe get something in writing from their GP about their intention to support Shared Care. Iqbal and Pam will remind you to do this anyway but it is really important. My GP surgery has been inconsistent in their support - having first agreed that they would enter into a Shared Care Agreement they then denied it - I believe this was because my surgery amalgamated with another large one during this time and their policies changed. My prescription is very expensive to fund privately - not everyone's will necessarily cost so much though - it's just something to bear in mind.

I have struggled my whole life with poor impulse control, which has caused me numerous problems and consequences, as well as other issues with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, OCD and alcohol and drug use as a means of self-medication which just made things worse. I really needed help and unfortunately the NHS waiting list was 12-18 months for a consultation. I researched a lot of private practices and it is expensive but iampsychiatry was fairly priced and seemed to offer by far the best service and post diagnosis care. Dr. Mohiuddin was caring, understanding and knowledgable and between his care plan and the prescribed medication, I am like a new person. I understand my condition a lot more and am able to concentrate and focus without getting distracted or overwhelmed. I have ended my unhealthy relationship with alcohol and am happier and calmer. I feel in control of my life and most importantly, I finally think before I act and can control my impulsive behaviour.

I cannot thank Dr Mohiuddin enough for diagnosing my 27-year-old daughter with ADHD. Sophie is a wonderful and kind person who had felt for many years she may have ADHD. Obviously going private is not cheap and it is sometimes difficult to know if you are doing the right thing, but I am so very glad she did. The cost was very reasonable compared to others we looked at, the reviews were excellent and the waiting time was surprisingly short with just a few months waiting list. Sophie was very nervous but we were happy she would be in the empathetic hands of Dr Mohiuddin and were excited for her consultation, counting down the days! Sophie was put at ease immediately during her call and it was a relief for her to chat and finally get confirmation after many years of symptoms. Dr Mohiuddin was so caring and knowledgeable too. Since her consultation we have been blown away by how quickly the medication has changed Sophie's life for the better, it is wonderful to see her happy and feeling so calm and positive. I would highly recommend every aspect of the journey, Pam Mohiuddin, Dr Mohiuddin's secretary is also lovely and so helpful.

Booking an ADHD assessment with Dr Iqbal has quite literally changed my life (27 year old woman), I cannot recommend Dr Iqbal and IAmPsychiatry enough. I was SO anxious leading up to the assessment and even minutes before I felt sick with worry. I was quickly put at ease and felt so comfortable, understood and listened to the entire time. I often worry about making phone calls due to feeling anxious or not knowing what to say but please be assured that Dr Iqbal is a very kind, compassionate psychiatrist who listens and supports you throughout the assessment and beyond. If you're also worried about your appointment or booking an appointment, please know - any anxiety for your appointment will be gone within seconds of speaking to Dr Iqbal. He is extremely compassionate and not patronising in any way, he will guide you through the assessment in a friendly, professional way. Dr Iqbal has such a great, calming personality and approach, he is truly a role model for the industry and healthcare providers. Since beginning medication, my life has transformed for the better, it's like day and night. I am constantly amazed at the positive impact it has had on my life. My family and partner have also noticed so many positive changes in me, my mum especially. She has sent a thank you card to Dr Iqbal as she witnesses just how life changing his assessment has been for me, she was heavily involved in the booking process and also said that Pam was lovely to communicate with. Before booking, I could see that IAmPsychiatry is one of the most (if not the most) reasonably priced ADHD assessments in the UK, I spent a long time searching and comparing with my mum. I already knew that I would find value in the service after reading reviews, but since having the assessment, I now truly understand the value of the service that Dr Iqbal provides. In addition to the endless positive changes that have followed since the diagnosis and medication, the process has also been 10/10 and the support is felt as a client in a very genuine and compassionate way. And of course, Dr Iqbal is absolutely brilliant. If you're going to go private and pay, please know that the value at IAmPsychiatry is incredible. A NOTE TO THOSE WHO ARE: Reading these reviews, struggling with suspected ADHD, feeling lost and helpless - you will not be patronised or interrogated/invalidated at IAmPsychiatry. Your anxiety is absolutely justified due to the current treatment/perception of ADHD and lack of understanding in society, however, I want you to know that Dr Iqbal is unbelievably knowledgable, supportive and compassionate. You have NOTHING to worry about if booking in with him for an ADHD assessment. I just want to emphasise this as there is a general worry around seeking help due to the stigma, especially towards women. If you are thinking about booking with Dr Iqbal, especially as a woman (late twenties), please know that you will be in expert hands. I have spoken to multiple doctors and health care providers in my life and have never experienced such a compassionate, expert service. I am SO grateful and feel SO excited about life for the first time in a long, long time. It's difficult to put into words but the best way to describe it is that I feel like I'm actually present and living life in the moment. I cannot stress enough how valuable my ADHD assessment has been and wish I had done it years ago. THANK YOU DR IQBAL!!
