Dr Irshaad Ebrahim

Written by a patient at Psychiatry-UK

I was referred in February 2018, for a sleep specialist assessment to Dr Irshaad Ebrahim at The London Sleep Centre by my psychiatrist at Psychiatry UK as Dr Ebrahim is a Sleep Expert and Neuropsychiatrist. Additionally, as I live between London and Dubai it was more convenient to see Dr Ebrahim as he has a practice in London and in Dubai. I have been diagnosed with Anxiety Depression for the past 12 years and I have continued to have Severe Sleep Disruption that the medicines were not helping and I was not happy to take sleeping tablets. I saw Dr Irshaad Ebrahim first at The London Sleep Centre Harley Street, and before my appointment I was sent a long questionnaire that was quite detailed and I brought this with me to my first appointment – Dr Ebrahim took a thorough history of my sleep problems, my medical history, etc. After about 45 minutes, we discussed the possible diagnosises – he was interested in the fact that I snore sometimes and my partner reported that I Grind my teeth – he explained that I might have a condition called Bruxism (Tooth Grinding) that may be related to me having a mild type of apnea. On the same day I took home some equipment to have a sleep test at home for two nights and the day after I returned the equipment, I had a telephone consultation, because I had returned to Dubai, with Dr Ebrahim for the results – Dr Ebrahim explained to me that I had a Mild Case of Sleep Apnea but that when I was on my back the breathing stopped about 40 times – something called Positional Apnea – also they had detected that I had Bruxism. Dr Irshaad Ebrahim was very reassuring , he listened to my questions and answered them fully. I was impressed with his expertise. He was also very optimistic about my future and explained that there is an effective treatment for this condition using a mouth-guard type device – he also reassured me saying that I could access the full treatment for this mouth device at The London Sleep Centre in Dubai where they have a specialist and all the equipment to diagnose and treat this condition. I saw Dr Ebrahim’s colleague, Dr Patel, the Sleep Medicine Dentist at the Dubai London Sleep Clinic and that was I March. Since then, I have seen Dr Patel and Dr Ebrahim on a few occasions – I am now medication free and sleeping the best I have ever slept only needing to wear this mouthguard every night. After many years of being on anti-depressant tablets and sleeping medication I am finally sleeping normally – thanks to the expert care of Dr Irshaad Ebrahim and his team.

I was referred by my Harley Street GP after developing morning headaches, insomnia, restless sleep and more recently had developed uncontrolled tiredness and sleepiness in the daytime even feeling drowsy whilst driving. I was seen by the Sleep Expert Dr Irshaad Ebrahim at his office in The London Sleep Centre. I found Dr Irshaad Ebrahim to be professional, thorough, listened attentively, asked relevant questions - this - in addition to the long questionnaire I had filled in prior to the appointment. Dr Ebrahim’s expertise showed clearly and after our initial consultation, a Home Sleep Test was arranged for that night - very efficient indeed! My results were available within 72 hours and at the results appointment Dr Irshaad Ebrahim explained the findings in depth, gave me an opportunity to ask questions and discuss the diagnosis and prognosis including appropriate lifestyle changes he recommended. I was started on treatment (CPAP for my Severe Sleep Apnea) on the same day and my symptoms improved almost immediately. I cannot thank Dr Irshaad Ebrahim enough - he has truly rescued me and I will be eternally grateful for him - may God bless him!

When it comes to getting a true expert to assess your sleep I found only one in the UK who has manged to find and cure my sleep problem - Dr Irshaad Ebrahim. I have suffered with chronic severe Insomnia and Anxiety for many years and had given up hope of finding a solution. I was referred to Dr Ebrahim as a last hope for a cure by my consultant at Psychiatry UK . Dr Irshaad Ebrahim is an example of how a specialist should be - he is kind, thoughtful, listened to all my issues, asked relevant questions and eventually, after an overnight Sleep Test he came up with a diagnosis - Restless Legs and Periodic limb Movements of Sleep. Within 3 days of commencing treatment I was sleeping the best I had in 40 years! I cannot thank Dr Irshaad Ebrahim enough for the Gift of Good Sleep!

We were at a loss for my daughter's long-term Insomnia and had sought help from various supposed sleep specialists in the UK. Eventually, about 4 months ago, we were recommended to see Dr Irshaad Ebrahim via the Psychiatry UK Website and contacted The London Sleep Centre. Although it took about two weeks to get an appointment with Dr Ebrahim, we were very impressed with his approach, he was thorough, listened to all our concerns, did a full evaluation of the sleep problems my daughter has faced for years. We were referred for a sleep test at The London Sleep Centre's overnight sleep facility and subsequently realised that our daughter had a Sleep Disorder called Restless Legs Syndrome that had been missed by the other specialists. Dr Ebrahim started her on treatment and she has never slept this well before Thank You Dr rshaad Ebrahim!
