Dr Borukhson was lovely, really calm and kind. She took a thorough history and unpicked all of my son’s symptoms. She’s given him a plan and hope which was very reassuring.

Thank you for such a kind review. Staying calm, hearing the whole story and making sure nobody leaves without a plan and a reason for hope matter to me more than almost anything else in this job, so it was lovely to read this.

I cannot thank Dr Borukhson enough for her care and attention. After suffering with joint pain for several months, my symptoms worsened and my hand became very swollen. I was fortunate to get an urgent appointment with her at Charing Cross Hospital and she was so kind, reassuring and understanding. She diagnosed me with rheumatoid arthritis and clearly explained the condition and the medication I would need going forward. She also gave me an injection which made a remarkable difference within just 24 hours. she took the time to call me afterwards to check how I was feeling. That personal follow-up meant a lot. I am very grateful to Dr Borukhson and would wholeheartedly recommend her.

Nurse visit but referred for immediate attention to Dr Borukhson Short wait attended to with a scan and subsequent injection. Facilitated the cancellation of a future appointment and therefore felt very efficient use of resources / time.

Thank you for taking the time to write this. Dealing with things there and then, rather than adding another appointment to someone’s calendar, is something I care about a great deal, so this was good to read.

Thank you for this kind review. Explaining not only what is being done but how to look after things afterwards matters just as much to me, and I am glad you felt well informed.

Thank you for a review that I will keep. Time, honesty and respect are the least anyone deserves from their doctor, and hope is sometimes the most useful thing I can send someone home with, so to read that it has made a difference means more than I can easily say. I am very grateful you took the trouble to write at such length.

I have not the slightest hesitation in recommending Dr Barukhson. From the onset of my consultation with her, I was impressed by her keen observation, kindly empathetic approach, professionalism and evident knowledge and skill. She was able to make a diagnosis (subject to blood test results) along with a careful explanation of my condition by the end of the consultation and, three days later, this was confirmed by the result of the test. I felt complete trust and confidence in her anbility and wish that I lived closer to London so that she might become my regular consultant. I am deeply grateful to Dr Barukhson for her diagnosis. I am, at long last, relieved of the uncertainty and anxiety around realising that something is very wrong but not being able to find an answer to what that is. Knowing what is wrong, even if it is something that one would prefer not to have, gives the opportunity to move forward and seek help in managing symptoms. I am glad to have this opportunity to express admiration and gratitude to Dr Barukhson and to recommend her unreservedly.

Thank you for this extraordinarily generous review. I have read it more than once. Not knowing is so often the heaviest part of being unwell, and helping people reach an answer they can act on is, to my mind, the most worthwhile thing I do. Observation, empathy and careful explanation are what I try to bring to the room every time, and to see them described in these words is deeply touching. With my warmest thanks and every good wish.
