I saw Dr Stallard during the pandemic for a re-diagnosis and treatment via the ADHD Clinic. We had ongoing appointments for 4-5 months, if I remember right.
My experience with Dr Stallard was completely wonderful and a breath of fresh air. Despite the length and somewhat exhausting nature of such thorough history and diagnosing, it was a breeze to get through with him.
He was incredibly attentive and thorough during every appointment. He gave me ample time to answer each question, so even with my ADHD-induced rambles and occasional getting off track I felt confident he understood me and had all the information needed - something that has been a massive challenge for me in healthcare settings in the past.
He was very informative and clear and most of all, I felt respected not just as a patient, but as a person. I felt he tailored the information to my (somewhat beyond basic) knowledge level, and I felt like a collaborator/active participant in my treatment. I felt there was mutual trust, which was such a refreshing experience.
He was diligent and prompt with including me in any reports/communications regarding the diagnosis and treatment with my GP and provided me with some great further resources as part of the 'education about ADHD' part of treatment.
He made himself available between our reviews as well as after should any issues arise.
Oh, and needless to say he nailed it with the medication - totally life-changing. Even relatives who don't quite understand/might be dubious about ADHD are marvelling at the difference.
I was reassured by the reviews here before my first appointment with him, and wanted to add my own. :-) Honestly, nothing but praise for Dr Stallard.
Very pleasant experience with Dr Stallard. He did an excellent job with my very first ADHD assessment in the UK. It was very easy to communicate my circumstances to him, as he explained everything in an extremely clear manner. He made sure that I had a smooth session, and that I could always reach out to him if I had any problems concerning my treatment (which is amazing because this was at the beginning of COVID times and I had even traveled out of the country).
The care I received from Dr. Stallard for my ADHD is highly memorable. I never felt rushed when discussing my various concerns and how I responded to treatment, and he was always very thorough and attentive, even getting in contact with my own GP to better tailor my treatment to me. As well as being all of those things, Dr. Stallard is a kind and personable professional who made me feel at ease from the start of my treatment.
Dr Stallard was really nice and helped me undertand that my problems were due to ADHD and not waht otehr doctors had said they were due to. I felt he was approachable and i could contact him easily. I feel better on the treatment he has given me and the many drugs i was given before were not as helpful. It has helped me feel calmer and happier.
I was dreading the experience of going to see a private Doctor. Dr Stallard was very pleasant and made me feel at ease. Explaining things to me that I didn’t really understand. The experience wasn’t that bad after all.
