Dr Baker was very thorough and explained everything clearly
Clear with what would happen and what the plan going forward is
Dr Baker was amazing with both me and my son. Very understanding and knowledgeable. Took the time to talk through things in detail.
Has been excellent for us, really helpful, has helped Finley greatly and thank you very much for all your assistance with getting us to this point.
As I said previously, Dr Baker managed to gain the trust and engagement of my teenage daughter to come up with an assessment/diagnosis and a subsequent treatment strategy, that we are in the process of following and which seems to be helping my daughter to maintain focus at school. She also advised our GP of her observations regarding my daughter’s other mental health issues (anxiety/depression) that were not in her remit, that may hopefully help speed up treatment for my daughter for those issues. For that I am very grateful.
Very friendly and personable. It was a relief for us that Coel had someone experienced and professional to speak to Coel and will go along way to his recovery.
