Dr Baskind has listened to me, involved me in his plans. Managed my expectations in a realistic way. Flexible in his appointment according to patient circumstances. My condition is improving and my treatment titration is going well. I would recommend Dr Baskind to anyone who needs ADHD diagnosis pr treatment.
I have worked within NHS services for 20+ years and I wish that all psychiatrists were as compassionate and knowledgeable as Dr Baskind. He has exceptional skills within ADHD and his treatment approach extends beyond medication into daily strategies.
I initially had my Diagnosis and strayed treatment with a different psychiatrist. My previous consultant was online and when I spoke to them regarding changing my medicinal prescribing routine. I felt that there were barriers causing a lot of anxiety, I had paid all this money to get on top of my symptoms and gain more control my life but my previous psychiatrist wasn’t helping holistically and was making it a long, tiring and expensive process.
However, after 4 months, I transferred my care over to Rob Baskind. He reviewed my Diagnosis in line with the DSM-5 criteria to make sure that my diagnosis was official and that he could help me complete my Titration. I then booked a face-to-face appointment to discuss my symptoms, problems I was facing, mental health and my own suggestions to how I feel the problem can be overcome.
Rob is very professional, he is very genuine and definitely provides holistic and person-centred approach to his practice. I am a very anxious individual but instantly felt comfortable to talk about my thoughts, feelings, and experience. Rob discussed my meditation options and then gave me a choice of which route to go down.
I have been on the same medication that was prescribed in our initial consultation since, I was transferred through shared care after 2 consultations. I couldn’t have asked for a better psychiatrist. He has been very responsive via email which is very important, and his genuine concern, interest and support has helped tremendously. I really do appreciate Robs support finishing my titration phase.
Thankyou Rob
I contacted Dr Baskind to book an adult ADHD assessment. He responded to the initial enquiry very quickly with a helpful call, and the assessment followed within a couple of weeks. Dr Baskind’s assessment was very thorough, and he took time to really listen to my concerns. Although Dr Baskind confirmed that I don’t have ADHD, he identified where my issues (predominantly with work) were and is able to offer a specific type of therapy which will, I hope, help. Dr Baskind’s input has been invaluable and I would definitely recommend him.
Following an educational psychology assessment which identified a diagnosis of ADHD at age 27, I approached Dr Baskind as a private patient as the NHS waiting list for treatment was 3 years. Dr Baskind was kind, patient and empathetic. I felt seen & heard and understood. He imitated medication following his full assessment, at my request. In the first month following my diagnosis, I had lots of questions and found myself emailing Dr Baskind on a very regular basis. He responded quickly and without judgement. I have now been on a treatment plan for over 3 years which meets my needs. I am confident that if I had any questions, or wanted to speak about any concerns or treatment, that Dr Baskind would be available to listen and take appropriate action. I cannot thank him enough!
