I had a really positive experience with Dr Jemma Reid. I often struggle to explain myself properly in appointments, but she immediately put me at ease and asked the right questions without making me feel rushed or overwhelmed. For the first time, I felt like someone understood how all the different parts of what I’ve been experiencing might fit together, rather than looking at each issue in isolation. She was warm, thoughtful and clearly very knowledgeable. I came away feeling understood and with a much clearer idea of what to do next. I honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
Thank you very much for the assessment and the report and allowed me to amended where needed. The appointment easy to get, fast, efficient and although I did not receive the outcome I was expecting, the reports received are especially helpful during a difficult time. I will keep Kernow Psychiatry in mind for any future assessments or support.
I found Dr Reid to be a very caring and compassionate expert in her field. She made me feel welcomed quickly and at ease during my assessment. She listened well and this was reflected in the thorough assessment report that was quickly provided following my consultation. She created a safe space for me to talk and it was a relief to discuss my symptoms with her. Following my diagnosis, she was reassuring and informative about my symptoms and how I can best move forward in different areas of my life to manage these, so I can be the best version of myself. I felt positive after my consultation and that finally someone clearly understood how I’ve been feeling for my whole life! It was a pleasure to meet Dr Reid and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you.
During my appointment, Dr Reid had a kind, caring, thoughtful, empathetic and exceptionally professional approach. I felt heard, which helped tremendously with openly discussing my current health issues, which I normally find very difficult. The treatment I was prescribed was just what I needed. I feel more like myself again, able to focus better on my work, and have increased confidence when interacting in social situations. I'm taking things day by day, but the support I've received from Dr Reid and my GP has helped me feel reassured that I'm not alone when life feels difficult and confusing.
I would highly recommend Jemma

DR. Jemma Reid is so understanding, doesn’t make you feel like their is something wrong, I’m so pleased with my experience and treatment in the last month, I would go as far as to say it’s flipped my life upside down (in the best way!)
If you refer back to my previous response this was about dr Jemma Reid. She is fantastic at her job and well worth the money.
Meeting Dr Reid has been a life changing experience for me. I will always be grateful for her kind and compassionate care. I felt heard and understood by her and I am now in a better place with my mental health than I ever thought possible. I would highly recommend her services.
