Aloof. Uncaring. Rude. Just 3 of many words that spring to mind when I reflect on my online consultation with Dr Craig. Communication beforehand was sketchy and he was late for our call, late enough to call his secretary who knew he was with a patient but didn't feel obliged to let me know. I took the consultation with Dr Craig as a gateway to rTMS treatment but rTMS was barely discussed and was if anything downplayed as a source of help for my problems. It felt more like a patient poaching exercise when he talked of obtaining my notes from my usual psychiatrist and scheduling follow-up appointments - definitely not what I had in mind. As with other testimonials, I went through a Q&A exercise, the like of which I'm well versed. These things are never easy, and Dr Craig's impassive countenance certainly didn't help. While he undoubtedly listened, I got the feeling if I'd told him I lived on the moon for a year I'd see the same expressionless face looking back at me. Or maybe he'd interrupt me and call my lunar mission superfluous? And cut me off abruptly - as he did on various occasions. There are good reviews on here, and maybe if you're prepared to endure his obtuse style, he can help. However, it's noticeable how many recent reviews have a similar theme and maybe his heart isn't in it anymore. I won't be hanging around to find out.

Had an ADHD assessment online with Dr Craig, I work for two psychiatrists who carry out ADHD assessments, was hopeful that I was in good hands. He was running 15 minutes late but I didn’t mind as I know things can happen, he then joined the video and sat in silence for the first 5 minutes. Dr Craig didn’t read any of my forms I filled in prior and was asking very basic questions. He was too pre-occupied by typing on his computer and also kept saying “hmm” a lot. He asked me 3 times if I had a partner and on the third time said “oh yes, i’ve already asked you this”. Halfway through the appointment, the doorbell went and he left his desk for 15 minutes to hand out prescriptions to patients. I was sat staring at a chair whilst he was saying through his headset “don’t worry i’m still listening”. It turns out his secretary was in, so he was doing the admin bits himself. The assessment finished within 40 minutes and he said “if you can send me over school reports, i’ll make my mind up whether you have ADHD or not”. I was extremely disappointed and upset after the appointment as I felt I wasted 6 months waiting for the appointment to get nothing. Dr Craig lacked empathy and made rude comments such as “we can all be impulsive and inpatient”. I would definitely not recommend going to Dr Craig for an assessment, you will leave feeling deflated and disappointed.

I have been a patient of Prof Craig's for 7 years for treatment of bipolar disorder and ADHD. He has treated me both whilst I have been an inpatient in a psychiatric hospital and as an outpatient in Harley St. He always listens to what I have to say, and is very honest about potential risks / side effects of various medications. I believe 100% that I would not be alive without the help of Prof Craig and my therapist.

Professor Craig completely lost interest and changed his opinion of me totally in the last session . He has caused me unbelievable distress and accused me of lying ! He acted out of order in my opinion by making extraordinarily hurtful and wounding remarks totally contrary to previous sessions . He has ignored statements and emails from Doctors and social services and was under the impression I had been having psychiatric treatment for some time !!!! which is nonsense , he is the only psychiatrist I have ever seen .
