Dr John Clifford

Such a lovely lovely man. Empathic.listens - even if you have a suggestion.- and treats all patients with dignity. A lovely personality. Lovely Doctor all round.

I have been under this psychiatrist since early December and, totally unlike my previous shrink, he has called me back FOUR TIMES to check on my healrh AND my mental state when my previous psychiatrist (in FIFTEEN YEARS) NEVER CALLED ME ONCE and the only thing that I now regret about all of this, is that I wasnt placed under his care and supervision back in late 2004 when I had been a (voluntary) patient at the blatantly inadequate 'Llwyn Y Groes' mental health inpatients unit within Wrexham. However, even though my episodic memory has always been sharp, I cannot recall either hearing about him or ever seeing him back then! And please do ignore all of the other bad reviews which either previous patients or current patients of his have written as most of them are followed up by very heartfelt apologies once they have finally realised that it has been other, less enlightened psychiatrists that have been the ultimate source of their agitation and highly distressing paranoia because (very, very unfortunately) they seem to be rampant within the mental health system and, as far as I can tell, they ALWAYS HAVE BEEN! Yours (extremely gratefully) Lee (current patient; March 2025)

Lovely man, very kind and tries his best to help you

I’m sorry about my posts it’s just been very frustration for me because I’ve been in this prison of being on medication and having to take it when I don’t like it. But Dr Clifford has given me the chance to be off it for a month to see how I go and I’m very greatful for that!!

This motherfucking doctor is the reason my relationship with my mother has gone down the drain. He never picks up the phone I need to talk to him about my medication but he never picks up!!! I’m furious!!!!

If I don’t want medication I have a negative frame of mind about it that’s going to mean the medication won’t be beneficial for me at all. If I had a positive frame of mind that would mean it still wouldn’t benefit me because fact is it has an effect on my songwriting. Songwriting is the most important thing in the world to me. If I can’t write good music I’m not happy. Hence why I shouldn’t be on medication hence why I should have a choice to refuse it if I don’t want it because right now the situation is as such that if I don’t take it the doctor is threatening to put me back into hospital and then into a home. That’s not fair and doesn’t benefit me in anyway.

Also I’m sorry if you can see my previous posts I don’t know how to delete them

I just want to apologise for my last review. The doctor is taking my off the depo injection that was ruining my life and I am thankful for that. I’m sorry again.

Doctor Clifford saved my life. Had been through the system for years. He is a star. I had lied for years. He wouldn't let me manipulate the system

He is a lovely kind man who really does listen to all the concerns you have about your mental health. He is one of the very few people I would trust with my health.
