Had an online consultation with doctor Crocker for adhd and autism joint assessment. I was very nervous, but right from the start Dave put me at ease and I soon settled in and the conversation was flowing. Dave has a wonderfully calm demeanour and voice which made it all the easier to get the important points across on my part. He is very good at coaxing the information he needs from you, he asks the questions in such a way that conversation just flows and for that I am grateful. If you are on the fence about whether or not to book these services from Caledonian psychiatry, do not be afraid! The team will put you at ease and everything is so well organised that all you have to do is be there to chat! Genuinely don’t hesitate, I have prolonged this for far too long in my life and I only wished I had done it sooner. I thank Dave and the team profusely for the help they have offered me thus far!
Assessment and the report afterwards were thorough and helpful. It was particularly helpful getting tailored advice regarding reasonable adjustments that may assist at work. The doctor felt friendly and easy to speak to. Would definitely recommend.
My appointments with Dr Abderahman Kamaledeen were very good, he was very professional but also friendly and easy to talk to and very understanding. The platform was easy to use aswell. I would highly recommend this service and Dr Abderahman too.
Dr Crocker was professional, listened and exceeded my expectations throughout the ADHD and Autism assessment process. I am so glad I chose him & I would recommend to anyone looking for private assessment.
Good attention to detail, provided helpful background information to make an informed choice
Dr. Crocker was incredibly kind, reassuring and patient with me. I found the overall experience incredibly reassuring.
I had two assessment meetings with David Crocker and can honestly say I felt seen for the first time. David listened patiently and put me at ease. I felt relaxed and comfortable enough to be completely honest with him. After my diagnosis I have taken meds as prescribed and I'm noticing a huge difference in only a few days.
This was quite a hard experience for me, and Dave was very nice and put me at ease. The whole experience was eye-opening, and I believe life-changing.
I had a great experience all through my assessment. I felt very nervous but Dr Crocker but me at ease and was instantly easy to open up to due to his kind, warm nature. He was professional throughout and transparent in ensuring I knew what was happening at each stage. I would recommend Caledonian Psychiatry to anyone seeking an assessment who wishes for a more personal experience.
Dr Crocker was actually nice and I felt comfortable and heard. He took time to explain and discuss things with me after my assessment, which I really appreciated.
