Reviews
My daughters and I very concerned about Ollie. He is due to have operation and GP recommended the Professor. He was marvellous with my grandson. He gave us the confidence to have operation on Monday. Knowing not a serious problem. So calm and caring
We met Professor Daubeney for the first time yesterday after travelling from Jersey. My daughter has had a really rough year, and we have seen many specialists but Professor Daubeney has been nothing short of amazing! Within 24 hours we have all the more in depth tests lined up. He's the first person to tell my daughter that there's something that can help her severe fainting episodes and get her better. To hear those words filled me with joy. Our lives have been so different this past year and to know we are being listened too and there's a light at the end of the tunnel makes us all so happy.
Professor Daubeneys secretary Sohie is simply amazing too. She's so kind, helpful and super patient. The nicest secretary I've dealt with.
If you want someone who knows his stuff then Professor Daubeney is your man. Simply amazing.
Thank you Professor Daubeney and the lovely Sophie. Please know your work is noticed and appreciated loads.
Our daughter has been under Professor Daubeney’s care for POTS, which had previously impacted her life severely. Before her treatment, she struggled with frequent fainting spells, low school attendance, and the associated challenges in both academics and social life. Professor Daubeney’s comprehensive approach, including thorough diagnostic testing and tailored medication, has been transformative. Since starting her treatment, her symptoms have vastly improved. Fainting episodes are now rare and her school attendance and academic performance have greatly improved. We are incredibly grateful for the renewed quality of life she now enjoys. For any family dealing with vasovagal or POTS, I highly recommend Professor Daubeney’s expertise and thorough care. Additionally, Sophie O’Hehir, who coordinates patient care and appointments, has been outstanding in maintaining consistent and prompt care for our daughter which has been vital to her steady recovery.
As well as being very helpful in sorting a plan for my son I must comment on the amazing secretary Prof Daubeney has. I have dealt with many consultants’ secretaries over the years and Sophie is absolutely fantastic. She is easy to get hold of, really lovely to speak to on the phone and so so organised. I told Prof Daubeney that everybody needs someone like her in their life!
We were so grateful for Professor Daubeney's care for our daughter. He has a meticulous approach and explained all the steps of investigation and the results very clearly and with great empathy. We felt we were in the very best hands and he helped us through a potentially frightening situation. We are very glad to have found him.
