Very pleased with my experience at Orpington hospital. Dr lrving is a wonderful doctor. The staff l meet at Orpington hospital are always very nice to deal with. Dr Irving is as always a pleasure to deal with has time for her patients and treats them with great empathy and professionalism.
Helpful and very understanding, great “bed side manner” as she is always calm, collected and patient.
Dr Katherine Irving is a good listener. She’s guided me to remission starting worse Oct 2025 when I was not on methotrexate, and convinced me to go on the drug.. I’d been put on prednisone by another doctor Aug 2025 and she got me to taper off it. I tolerate the methotrexate well and then in May 2026 she prescribed adalumimab for my RA. I’ve had great results. Dr Irving is calm and considerate and explains issues in a clear way.

Dr. Irving explained everything I need to know what’s going on with Me. She always does tells me if I need more treatment or test so I can’t ask for a better consultant. She’s fantastic.
Was seen on time , nice clean environment. Doctor spoke clearly and was very helpful.
Very helpful and spent plenty time time with me ,put my mind at rest and going forward with a new plan
Dr Irving is a very professional person. A care plan put in place for me I hope the appts she has asked for don’t take to long although they are marked urgent. ? I just wished that getting to see Dr Irving didn’t take so long. That’s due to her waiting list . But always a pleasure to see her .
Dr. Irving has provided me over the years, not only with prompt professional assistance but, with constant care and consultation. She has become my first point of reference in crisis and medical needs.
