My experience with Dr. Sahan Wijayaweera was positive. He was very understanding, polite, and friendly. I was quite nervous to meet him but throughout my assessment got quite comfortable with the situation. I appreciate everything you are doing to help me and I look forward to what the future might hold. Thank you again Dr. Wijayaweera and to anyone who would like my personal recommendation, absolutely! If you are referred to him I can assure you, that you're in safe hands.

Dr Wijayaweera is incredible. He's polite and really friendly. He always puts me at ease. He makes time to ask me how I'm feeling and if I have any questions, which I really appreciate. He strikes the perfect balance between being professional and being human, which has made the experience of receiving my ADHD diagnosis and treatment much, much easier. He genuinely cares about your day-to-day living and wants to find out what's important to you so he can provide you with the best treatment. I wish other doctors would take a leaf out of his book! I'd highly recommend him and Psychiatry UK to anybody looking for a diagnosis or treatment. Thanks you so much!

My appointment was really great - he was efficient and attentive and really friendly and didn’t make me feel bad at all which sometimes I have found doctors can do. Highly recommend :)

I have nothing but positive things to say regarding my experience under the care of Dr Sahan Wijayaweera. Taking the big step to receiving an adhd diagnosis, and all that came with that process, at first seemed incredibly daunting especially given the current wait times. But once my assessment had been completed by Dr Wijayaweera (which itself was a very thorough and attentive), I felt a whole lot more at ease and as though Dr Wijayaweera was on my side, a feeling which was consistent during my titration. I would consider myself a bit of a worrier and have had trust issues with medical professionals and processes in the past but I truly have felt in safe hands and now my titration period is at its end, I shall miss the faultless communication and help that I have received. On a more personal level, Dr Wijayaweera is friendly, approachable and diligent and I would recommend him to others.
