A very clear explanation of conclusions from recent MRI scan and expectations of future.
Extremely grateful for in depth explanation and time. Mr Everitt was so thorough in his explanations and extremely knowledgeable and professional. Thank you so very much.
As noted, Dr Alex Everitt displays equal parts of patience and care, distilling complex matters into understandable speak for a lay-person; even one suffering the paranoid side effects of my current autoimmune encephalitis condition. Moreso - I hugely value the demonstrated personal investment in my case, having picked up indicators that evidently aren't quite right and ensuring that these get full explanation before we move on to other alternative treatments. Dr Everitt has arranged for my condition to be discussed at the monthly external meetings of some 40 specialists in the UK. This shows the extent of his determination to see me through my current situation
I didn’t enjoy my experience with Dr Everitt. I didn’t feel like he had a good bedside manner. Was unhelpful, and not at all compassionate. Very disappointing. Thankfully the reception staff were lovely.
Many thanks to Dr Everitt for his thorough examination and detailed report of my problems
I arrived early for my consultation and was called into Dr Everitt ten minutes early. Surprisingly, the consultation felt rather rushed.
Dr Everitt is thorough and explains his views with great clarity. He listens with compassion and when possible is reassuring. I genuinely feel that my treatment plan is personalised. His clinical letter with notes from our consultation was sent to me quickly and the consultation itself was helpful in addressing my recent concerns. I’m very grateful to have Dr Everitt as my neurologist.
Dr Everitt is very professional but most importantly very kind and considerate in dealing with such a difficult and complex illness. He always helps to make my wife relaxed and shows great patience during her visit. Dr Everitt is extremely good at explaining very complex issues in a way that we can understand and he ensures that we do.
The consultation was done in a professional and thorough way. Dr Everitt and I had a good dialogue with me sharing my observations and past experiences. Can very much recommend Dr Everitt to other people with neurogical problems.
