Dr George was extremely helpful and couldn’t do enough to help. In my experience, It is very rare that you come across a consultant that genuinely wants to help and not put finance at the forefront of conversation. He was very personable and gave me all the reassurance I needed. I was honestly taken back at how kind and genuine Dr George was.
Thank you very much indeed. I am grateful that you took the time to leave a review. Best wishes.

Didn't respond to my request for an appointment.
I am very sorry that your request for an appointment was not dealt with. To my knowledge I have responded to all requests but there has sometimes been a delay. Doctify only allow one email account to be registered for enquiries, that of my secretary. As she only works three days a week it can take time for me to be notified of enquiries. I have spoken to Doctify about this and will see if we can find a better solution moving forward. As your review is anonymous I can’t contact you but if you wish to reach out again I will do what I can to support you although I expect you have found a different physician by now. Once again my apologies. Best wishes Lindsay.

I would highly recommend seeing Dr George, he listened to me in relation to my symptoms for my thyroid and suggested trying medication to see if things improved. It felt a relief to speak to someone knowledgable as I had struggled with my GP. He explained things simplistically and put me at ease. The ongoing care has been great and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Dr George.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I appreciate it!

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.
