Dr Oak listened to me and supported me with my symptoms of perimenopause. When I was referred to him, I had struggled with difficult symptoms for many months. Although, I had seen other professionals, they had not supported or listened to me. Dr Oak gave me hope and he empowered me to make the right decisions about my health and he treated me with dignity and respect. Dr Oak is by far the best in his field and his skills of practice are outstanding!

Dr Oak has completely turned things around for me. After a couple of years of being fobbed off by my GP, Dr Oak understood the complexity of my issues. Dr Oak's approach involved empowering me to take control and make decisions regarding my health. He listens and empathises with my situation. My menopause related symptoms were so severe that it affected my mobility and my mental ability to work. Since seeing Dr Oak, I am now competent in my job and have regained full mobility. Most the usual symptoms have also dissipated. I feel in control of my life and health again.

Dr. Oak is everything you would want/expect from a doctor. I was seen on time and everything has been explained to me. Dr Oak was polite and kind and came across as someone that is incredibly knowledgeable and on top of their game. 🙏

Me Oak was very calm and welcoming and made me feel at ease. He also took the time to go through my medical records and check everything, along with allowing me to explain myself. He did not rush me and was happy spending time to go through everything.

Dr Oak is an old school professional. Our first appointment he asked me to tell him my experience before looking at any notes so he kept me at the forefront of the diagnostics. Plus I love how dapper he was each time I saw him. A bow and tie should be compulsory in the nhs.

Since the first consultation, when I was really nervous, he was able to put me at ease.. when the day of the surgery arrived, he and his team treated me with kindness, respect, and thoughtfulness. Thank you
