Mr Philip Stenhouse

Very funny and playful with children.

Knowledgeable, professional and polite Doctor.

Thank goodness we found you! My son was born with torticollis and, as a result, always slept on one side. We had no idea this would lead to the flattening of his head, especially since no advice was provided post-birth. He was subsequently diagnosed with Plagiocephaly and a 15mm asymmetry (which is classed as moderate). We felt incredibly let down by the initial lack of guidance. While repositioning could have helped in those early weeks, by the time we realised there was an issue, too much time had passed to correct it without intervention. Navigating the next steps was difficult, as we were faced with a plethora of misinformation. We had several NHS and private consultations, but no one could categorically tell us that a helmet would fix it. The "party line" from the NHS is that they don’t work, but I can now categorically say that is simply not true! We initially met with a different helmet company but got cold feet when they couldn't guarantee the results, they estimated a "best-case" improvement of only 9mm. Following a discussion with Bassel Zebian, a Paediatric Neurosurgeon at King's College Hospital, he recommended we see Dr. Stenhouse at Ahead4babies. After discovering that two of our friends had also used them, we felt reassured enough to reach out. From the very first phone call, we were sold. They were clear about what to expect, answered all our questions, and confirmed they could get the asymmetry down to 0mm. Knowing the clinic is run by craniofacial surgeons gave us total peace of mind that we were in good hands. Dr. Stenhouse, who carried out our son’s...

My son had a moderate right-sided plagiocephaly. We contacted the NHS and various other clinics that weren't very helpful. We found Dr Stenhouse and Ahead4babies online. What intrigued us to book was that he is a maxillofacial surgeon. We couldn't have been happier with our choice! From the get go Dr Stenhouse and his team were very informative and transparent which inspired us to go ahead with the treatment. We are super happy with the treatment results as we are now nearing completion roughly 2½ months after visiting the clinic for the first time. Our son's head now has normal shape. As a medical professional myself, I honestly couldn't recommend this place enough. If your child has a flat head this is the place to go. To Dr Stenhouse & team, thank you very much for all the help and support. We are eternally grateful for taking care of our little Adam! :)

Mr. Philip Stenhouse was absolutely incredible, extremely professional and very kind with us. He made us feel at ease since the first moment and answered all my questions in a very calm manner - that was very much appreciated as I was feeling quite anxious. I am forever grateful to have had the opportunity to take my baby to be seen by Mr. Philip Stenhouse.
