AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Dr Lindsay George shows a professional, kind, and helpful approach, providing clear, informative explanations to patients. He excels in diagnosis and management of conditions such as thyroid problems, including Graves' disease, and blood sugar issues like diabetes. Dr George provides treatment plans for hormone disorders such as low testosterone and simplifies complex medical terms into understandable language. Many patients commend his thoroughness and the comfort felt during appointments; they also note the beneficial use of video consultations.
From the very beginning of the consultation, it was clear that Dr George’s friendly and sympathetic approach was clearly underpinned by an authoritative professionalism and competence. I have lived with diabetes for over 30 years but, in the space of a few weeks, Dr George’s advice and proposed treatment plan has led to significantly better control: my general health has also improved markedly as a result. I cannot recommend Dr George more highly.
I am very glad to be able to help. Thank you for your very kind words.
We discussed fully my condition, although the signal from my end wasn’t very good, however we resolve that issue and we were able to discuss going forward what I should be doing allocating blood test and hopefully moving towards a second appointment
Thank you for your review and for tolerating what sounds like a poor connection. As reviews are anonymous please reach out to my secretary when you feel a second appointment is needed.
Really lovely gentleman, took time to listen to me and was really good at explaining things in a way I understood- obviously anxious going into appointment and his calm, professional demeanor and knowledge really put me at ease. Feel much more confident with a plan going forward and reassured that my symptoms are valid/real but will likely be more manageable with a bit of tweaking. Thank you very much Dr George!
Thank you too for taking the time to leave a review. I really appreciate it!
Very clear and understandable
Thanks for leaving a review I am grateful.
Very supportive
Thanks for leaving a review I am very grateful.
Dr George was excellent, very professional with an easy manner that explained everything to me re the HbA1C treatment. He has given me hope in advance of my future hip replacement operation.
Thank you for your kind comments.
Can't fault Dr George at all, I've been looking for help with my low testosterone for some time now and was recommended to Dr George by my GP to speed up the process. He was professional and ensured I understood everything he was saying. Going forward he is going to liase directly with my GP to get my treatment plan underway and getting me sorted, Thank you so much.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review I am very grateful.
Very thorough with his explanations. Very reassuring and has calmed a lot of nerves/anxieties about the current medical issues I am facing. Very grateful for Dr George and I would highly recommend him.
Thank you so much. Glad I could help.
I welcomed the non-patronising, informative conversation with Dr George and only wish I had instigated the consultation earlier in my thyroid condition. When there is mutual respect between a patient's 1st hand experience and a Dr's 1st rate knowledge, treatment/recovery can often be much easier for both.
I am very grateful. I love what I do and your comments are very kind indeed.
He was great, extremely generous and helpful with his advice and guidance and could advise exactly what to do and carried it through with write up etc quickly.
My secretary must take the credit for timely letters, I will pass on your thanks. Thank you from me too!
Skill Endorsements
Dr George is an excellent clinician, with whom I work in the NHS. In the private sector I recommend patients to him, where there is specific endocrinology query, or one which relates to general medicine, such as fatigue, or symptoms which are not yet diagnosed.
