Dr Suraj Gogoi

Very good listener and helpful advice

Hes kind caring and good listener, takes his time to listen to us, and explained well,

My son Samuel has had learning disabilities from birth and bi polar disorder since puberty. This was a check up appointment after we have been trying to find out why his cognitive abilities have reduced in recent years . Dr Gogoi has lowered quitiapine. And we agreed to try lowering it again very slightly so that he is not on so many meds .

I came to Dr Suraj in March after becoming aware of a dependency on medication and I panicked as had no primary care support from my GP.I found him compassionate and calm which is something I really needed and working with him I have found confidence to continue my tapering journey without the fear and knowing that I have the support.i would fully recommend him as he is easy to relate to and has empathy... not easily found in many of his profession today.thank you Dr Suraj.

Doctor Gogoi has shown great professionalism, patience, kindness, understanding and empathy towards my son and me. He has shown great knowledge and understanding of our situation and has treated us as individuals and engaged so kindly with my son, who has autism and learning difficulties. He included him in the discussions and has a calm and respectful presence, which helped to keep my son very calm. My son was very happy being around Doctor Gogoi. It is always a delight to have Doctor Gogoi work with us.

Dr. Gogoi is outstanding. He has taken the time to truly understand my daughter who has learning difficulties treating her with empathy, patience, and insight. His holistic approach means he sees the whole person, not just the condition, and he has noticed things that others have missed. We feel incredibly fortunate to have him overseeing her care.

Dr Gogoi has a pleasant manner which makes him approachable for both relatives and other professionals. He interacts well, asking relevant questions and listening to what others say. He is respectful to everyone and provides answers to their questions which they are able to understand. He works constructively with others, explaining his approach and considering how the wider environment may impact the mental health and wellbeing of the patient. He is aware that other inventions may be more appropriate in supporting the patient than medication and will advocate these when necessary. Dr Gogoi has made himself available by teams and in person to respond in a timely way to the needs and circumstances of the patient.

Meetings with Dr Gogoi are informative and detailed with thorough consideration given to every aspect of the care an individual is receiving. Medication regimes are considered with detail and information shared about how certain medications can impact well being and mood when used over time and within an aging population. Due diligence is given to medication burdens/regimes with a view to ensure regular review and oversight is had.

Very calm and explained his process and system of working very clearly. Always felt comfortable asking questions and was very professional throughout. Everything we discussed was respectful, confidential and I felt we understood each other well. This made me feel confident about discussing private aspects of my physical health and how it relates to my mental health medication. Would recommend to someone else who is finding challenges with managing their medication/medication changes!

Suraj greatly assisted me in a kind and compassionate way at a particularly difficult juncture in my life.
