I had a wonderful experience with Dr Robin Lawrence. He is clearly exceptionally qualified and experienced, but what impressed me most was how deeply understood I felt after just a single visit. He was able to diagnose me and identify my attachment style accurately and without hesitation. I was genuinely amazed by how well he grasped my situation so quickly. I feel very fortunate to have found him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an insightful, empathetic specialist.

Dr Robin Lawrence took time to listen and to ask me to clarify things that he needed have further understanding of and this helps me to remember to ask Robin to repeat himself or explain something to be in a different way to help me understand and this process helps with teasing out the implications of the subject matter of medication which is a hot potato at the moment as I continue to modify my intake and timing of Elvanse 20mg alongside suitable supplements to aid me get the maximum support from such to aid focus, trail of thought and sleep nutrition.

Robin treats the person, not the condition. He understands the context and history and considers more than just the chemical balance of someone's brain
