He was kind and explained things in a way which was easy to understand
Very professional and easy to talk to make you feel really comfortable.
He was patient and kind when I broke down giving me the space and time to gather myself. He offered a follow-up meeting mid term as well.
I had a consultant review with Dr Shaikh for the re-initiation and titration of medication for a pre-existing ADHD diagnosis, and I was extremely impressed with the care I received. Dr Shaikh reviewed my previous clinical notes in a timely manner, which allowed him to offer me an initial appointment very quickly. He was attentive, professional, and took the time to fully understand my situation and reasons for seeking treatment again. He came across as highly knowledgeable and experienced in ADHD, and the discussion around medication options was clear, thorough, and informative. I felt listened to and supported throughout the consultation. Following the appointment, I received my clinic letter very quickly and was given the opportunity to suggest any amendments, which were addressed promptly. Dr Shaikh also provided a letter of support for education and employment without me having to ask, which was incredibly helpful and thoughtful. Overall, my experience with Dr Shaikh was excellent, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an ADHD assessment.
Everything was thoroughly explained to me which was really reassuring as I felt like it wasn’t just the diagnosis but I was given so much follow up information I really feel cared for on this journey
