Testimonials
Visiting a Neurologist can be a daunting experience. It shouldn't be - here are some real life experiences to hopefully reassure you that I will do my very best, even when having to break difficult news or discuss complex concepts, all in a sensitive manner. Here is a representative selection of patient feedback over the period of my private practice (published with specific patient consent).
"I was treated with the utmost respect...I appreciated the common sense approach (rare in such circumstances) whilst never doubting the outstanding knowledge, experience and expertise of Professor Douglas, who was willing to discuss, with some humour any and all questions posed" (MR Jan 2017).
"I was really happy with the service received. I feel I saw a very knowledgeable consultant" (MS Jan 2017)
"The general review carried out to determine the symptoms was thorough and sensitive, acknowledging the anxiety levels created by the illness" (ME May 2016)
"Very impressed with your expertise and very kind manner...I will be forever grateful to you" (MD Apr 2016)
"For the first time in five months, and after seeing several doctors and consultants, I came away seeing that at last I had seen someone from whom I received a very clear explanation of my problem" (GE May 2015)
"A caring, humane, thorough approach, based up with impressive scientific knowledge. Most useful to speak to an MS specialist, as opposed to a general neurologist. Totally focussed and professional approach. Well deserved reputation" (MW Nov 2014)
“Excellent service and very happy with the level of knowledge supplied during my review. Full understanding of my condition and the options suggested to help me to manage this. Thorough and in depth analysis to arrive at the correct diagnosis” (PAJ April 2014)
“An excellent level of care and attention with complete monitoring of my progress from start to finish. This was above and beyond what I expected. The communication and feedback, and also support given, was exceptional” (HH Feb 2014)
“Excellent rapport put me at ease immediately. Listened very well, evidenced by comprehensive letters to GP” (JOL Dec 2013)
“I was told by Mr P (Surgeon – QE) that the prompt treatment I received from you, meant that I was able to save my mobility, for which I am very grateful” (HG Oct 2013)
“Dr Douglas was able to help me immediately by doing simple tests to identify symptoms and give me appropriate medication, where many doctors had failed” (HC Aug 2013)
