I was under Dr Hayward's care for almost two years. I came to Dr Hayward with OCD, anxiety and depression. The OCD was the main problem for about a year but reduced significantly under Dr Hayward's care. The anxiety and depression reached a particularly serious point about 3 to 4 months ago. Under Dr Hayward's care I decided to be voluntarily admitted to a psychiatric hospital for more focused and intense care. I found Dr Hayward to be very supportive, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Medication changes were always done carefully and options regarding medication and psychological support were always presented clearly. In terms of constructive suggestions I would personally say that more frequently providing in person consultation rather than video consultation could enhance the patient experience. However, much of my care was during the height of the coronavirus pandemic so in person consultation was often not possible.
