Dr Richard has been very helpful at every appointment, clearly explaining how my symptoms can be treated and put me at ease when I expressed concerns about taking my new medication. He answered all my questions and I felt listened to rather than being rushed. He really took the time to understand my symptoms. I really do feel like I am in good hands.

Dr Ibitoye pieced together my condition & on-going recovery in a way that no other neurologist or clinician had been able to do. He was very clear and in explaining things & is clearly very experienced & knowledgeable. I left feeling confident & assured of what my recovery should look like & with a greater understanding of my health condition.
