The Motherhood Practice

Midwifery

The Motherhood Practice - and Clarissa in particular - has genuinely been a godsend. She’s been with me and my husband since the earliest stage of our pregnancy journey, offering information, education, reassurance and positivity at every step. In particular, Clarissa helped me prepare mentally for my c-section by explaining exactly what would happen on the day - who would be in the room, what to expect, and how everything would unfold. The support after our daughter arrived was just as invaluable. In those first few weeks, I had countless questions - from whether certain noises she was making were normal to how much to feed and bathe her. Having someone experienced to turn to was such a comfort. What also made a big difference was the way Clarissa supported me as a new mother emotionally. She understood the unexpected toll the postnatal period can take on your state of mind and helped me navigate it without judgement. She constantly reminded me that every baby is different, every parent is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to such a huge life change. That perspective gave me confidence to embrace motherhood - and maternity leave - on my own terms. I can’t recommend The Motherhood Practice enough. This isn’t to discredit the amazing work of the NHS, but rather to say that having Clarissa and The Motherhood Practice alongside you is an added layer of support during one of the biggest and most meaningful experiences of your life.

I attended an appointment with Mr Hunter alongside my teenage daughter, who had been experiencing a range of symptoms after her concerns had largely been dismissed by NHS gynaecology due to a "normal" pelvic MRI. From our very first appointment, we found Mr Hunter to be extremely approachable. He was excellent with my daughter, who was only 16 at the time. Faced with the significant decision of whether to proceed with investigative surgery at 18,, we chose instead to have the EndoSure test carried out at the Optifema Clinic. The test indicated a high likelihood of endometriosis being present. The procedure itself was completely painless, and we received the results immediately afterwards. Kerry, who carried out the test, was amazing. She put my daughter completely at ease and explained the results in such a compassionate and reassuring manner. The results of the test gave us the confidence we needed to know that a laparoscopy was the right next step. My daughter remains under Mr Hunter's care, and after a recent appointment she came out saying how seen and heard she felt by both Mr Hunter and Kerry. My daughter has a way to go,, but we feel incredibly fortunate that she is being cared for by the team at Optifema. Thank you, Mr Hunter and Kerry, for your professionalism, kindness, and support.

Professor Bloomfield is an exceptional psychiatrist whose expertise is second to none. He is calm, professional, and very easy to talk to. He listens carefully, explains things clearly, and provides thoughtful, practical guidance that makes difficult situations easier to understand and manage. Amy and Missy, the secretaries, are also great and very helpful, contributing to a welcoming and supportive overall experience. It was a privilege that he could help us, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking the highest level of psychiatric care.

Mr Ahmad Elsahn

Ophthalmologist

I was given clear instructions about the operation and what l was required to do beforehand. I had glaucoma and cataracts and was instructed to give myself Timolol drops before the operation to reduce the pressure on my eye, very easy to apply. Then on the day of the operation I was fitted with a drain to stabilise the pressure in my eye I also had a new lens to correct my sight. I was then given Antibiotic and Maxidex drops to use for up to 28 days. The whole procedure was very easy and non painful due to Mr Elshan and his team

Dr Praveen Kumar

Psychiatrist

I'm glad I had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Praveen Kumar. First and foremost, I'd like to note the structure of the consultation, it was easy for me to explain myself because I was asked the right questions in a logical sequence. Even in moments where I couldn't find the words to express exactly what I meant, the doctor would rephrase my thoughts back to me, showing that he understood. It's clear this person is genuinely passionate about and loves their profession. It would be wonderful if all doctors were like that.

I left the appointment feeling reassured and heard. Dr Paul Farrant was very patient with me and took the time to answer my concerns in a way that made me feel relaxed. There was a bit of confusion when booking the appointment, as I wasn't sure what type of option to pick and with which doctor. I had to email secretary and the response clarified everything. Information on the booking page to help people understand what type of appointment to book and with whom based on their concerns would be useful.

Caledonian Psychiatry

This was my first experience speaking to a psychiatrist. It was very positive. Dr Crocker combines being very professional and knowledgable but also being kind and personable and taking the anxiety out of the process. He is very person-centred, while also using and explaining evidence-based information, for example to do with prescribing medicine. I feel more positive about my life going forward following my engagement with Dr Crocker. I would highly recommend him.

I have nothing but praise for this wonderful gentleman. Professor Field is remarkably clever and talented but he is also a very kind hearted, caring and compassionate gentleman.
