Dr J and Colleagues Reviews 

I had a great experience with Dr J and Colleagues. I think my initial wait was about 4/5 months but this was largely due to issues with my GP. From my first appointment when I received a diagnosis of ADHD to my titration appointments with Sandra, everything was smooth sailing. After 6 months of titration, I've just been referred back to my GP for shared care as I'm on a medication dose I am happy with and benefits me greatly.

I contacted Dr J and Colleagues for ADHD.
They were clear, efficient and professional from start to finish and quicker than 2 other companies I'd tried with.

Dr Sandra Okoli dealt with me and she was great to work with

I chose Dr J and Colleagues to complete my ADHD right to choose assessment. The process was explained clearly and I found it really useful to have multiple email reminders before appointments. Everyone I spoke to were kind, compassionate and professional. I do, however, need to shout out two people in particular. Thank you to Elaine who works in admin. When I was having issues sorting out an address to have my medication delivered to, she was so helpful and kind. Her patience and friendly manner really made me less anxious about the whole debacle. Finally, a huge thank you to my supervising pharmacist, Ireti Blankson. I hope you get Ireti for your supervisor. She answered my ten thousand questions, was always happy and warm and talked me through all the different stages clearly and carefully. Her demeanour and approachability were such that by the time I got to the end of tritation, it was like having a conversation with a friend. I felt really cared for at every step.

I have been a patient of Dr J's for about eight months and have been so impressed with my experience. I was referred through my GP under the Right to Choose programme. After a few months I had my assessment which was thorough and compassionate. I felt trusted and heard. My results were provided that day and I was able to begin my titration process very quickly after that. Whenever I deal with the administrative staff, they respond promptly and there is no sense of ‘computer says no’. They are so reasonable and helpful. But most of all, I am so grateful for Marylyn, my specialist. She is such a lovely human being. So knowledgeable and willing to teach. So empathetic and willing to listen. She always sends links to articles or other resources so I can better understand my condition. She effectively guided me through titration, helping me identify what worked and didn’t work for me. We ended up with a course of medication and behavioural supports that have given me an entirely new life. She is reassuring and helpful, always making time to talk through issues. Despite what I know is an incredibly busy schedule, Marylyn never makes me feel rushed. I have heard the nightmares of others in the Right to Choose landscape, and I feel for them. I am so grateful my GP suggested Dr J, as my experience with the team and especially Marylyn has been literally a lifesaver. My life is entirely transformed thanks to her and the team.

I’ve been under their care now for several months undergoing titration since my initial ADHD diagnosis with them, and I’m extremely happy with the service and care provided. My quality of life has improved leaps and bounds since beginning titration with no untoward side effects.

My pharmacist Marylyn is especially excellent! I couldn’t be any happier she is extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and is very patient with me & a great listener.

I’d absolutely recommend her and the company to anybody.

I registered with DRSJ through Right-to-Choose, as they had the shortest waiting times according to ADHDUK. Once DRSJ had received the referral, the wait time was exactly 4 months - much quicker than other clinics! The assessment was with Dr Khan and it went well - got asked a few concise questions and got a diagnosis.
Titration started a month after with Marylyn, which overall was much better than expected! I felt trusted, actively involved in the decisions and encouraged to learn more about the medications I was taking, which in my opinion is how all of healthcare should be!
Marylyn was also very acommodating, maximising the time between apts to allow for me to thoroughly assess how the medication was affecting me, and allowing me to try a bunch of different combinations/doses to see what worked. Overall, Marylyn was professional but also caring and attentive, and was instrumental to me finding the right treatment!
As with other positive reviews, I recommend Dr J and colleagues - genuinely a life-changer

Marylyn has been fantastic - she clearly explained the titration process and what to expect and was very friendly and approachable as well as extremely knowledgeable. I felt in safe hands!

I’ve been with Dr J since a year now. I first had Adil as my consultant and we explored different medication routes and options. All throughout he was extremely patient, worked on an individual case basis and really tried to understand my needs and how to work around the medication. I’ve heard from friends with other practices that they were really rigid with titration e.g you can’t do x, can’t take breaks and Adil or my new consultant Marylin are the opposite. Upon being transferred to Marylin after Adil left she completely got my case, fully understood my needs and found the ideal medication path for me. Since a year the support has been incredible, they’ve both shared a lot of tips and options and just tried to improve my life with ADHD. I never felt judged or misunderstood and was always welcomed with care and warmth. From the diagnosis to titration the process was extremely smooth and quick. Would really recommend to anyone.

Very helpful and compassionate service with the individual's best interests in mind. The pre-assessment process was fine, my assessments were on time and carefully considered by Yann. I didn't feel pressured and I felt that Dr J's company really explored my condition with great clinical care. Following assessment, I was referred for titration. My experience with Ireti was incredibly life-changing. Being given the space to fully explore how my condition impacts me was really helpful in my day to day life. I felt able to see and document changes in my life in real time. The main thing I felt with Ireti was safe, which was important to me given medication was being considered. I found hope for the future, have begun to build better routines, and managed to navigate the world more safely through a neurodiverse lens. I felt like Ireti was authentic with her clients which helped me to build trust in Dr J's company and helped motivate me to continue through the adjustments I was making.

Marylyn has been very helpful. I appreciate her willingness to ask questions and solve problems with me.

Dr J and Colleagues have been fantastic from the start. Through each phase of the process they've been extremely helpful. The appointments with Marylyn have been really useful, not just for getting the correct medication dosage but also for discussing other elements of the disorder. I have looked forward to each appointment I've had with them.
The appointment process over all is great, very easy to find a time to meet that works.

A compassionate and knowledgeable team, delivering a positive experience from start to finish. I chose Dr J & Co for an ADHD diagnosis via RTC, and received my initial assessment within 3 months with treatment quick to follow.

The pharmacy team made me feel engaged in my treatment plan throughout the titration process, providing valuable insights, and answering any questions. Huge thank you to Marylyn.

I cannot recommend Dr J and colleagues enough. They went above and beyond to ensure I felt heard and took time to understand my history.

I have to give a special mention to Marilyn Wilson, the specialist prescribing nurse. She has consistently gone above and beyond for me, providing excellent care, considered follow-ups during titration and huge effort into arranging a Shared Care agreement with my GP. I’m so grateful for her care and attentiveness.

She is a huge credit to the Dr J and Colleagues team.

To anyone considering using Dr J and Colleagues for their journey with ADHD and the treatment process…
Be it luck or simply the standard, I seem to be receiving a great service and it has been that way since the initial contact made. My initial assessment with the Doctor was straightforward and I felt comfortable discussing my difficulties. The Clinician allocated to me (Amanda, an absolute credit to the practice) has been 100% engaged in our discussions, she actively listens to what I think and feel, but is also competent to direct and explain much of the reasons why the decisions through the titration process are being made. She is supportive, knowledgeable, professional and personable which is frankly rare to come by in my experience when dealing with medical professionals. Amanda thank you for what you have done and what you continue to do, to all the team at Dr J and Colleages I’m truly grateful I went with yourselves out the several options presented to me via my GP.
I am impressed with the service provided, and the improvements in my day to day after a few decades of undiagnosed difficulties and struggles feel incredible to finally be behind me.

I chose Dr J and colleagues for my diagnosis journey and I'm so glad I did! Everything was extremely quick, from referral to diagnosis it only took around 3 months! All the psychiatrists who took me through my assessment were kind and friendly and happy to answer any questions. They were also super efficient! I was then sent onto Amanda for titration who was absolutely lovely and so supportive. She's always happy to answer any questions and support you in any way possible, even replying to my emails with my hundreds of questions! She's such a happy and friendly person too which helps you to feel comfortable and relaxed :)
I've just reached the end of my titration and feel like I have a great plan and for the first time in my life I can juggle everything which I'd never have been able to do before.

My experience with Dr J and Colleagues was extremely positive. The process from start to finish was very smooth and Amanda helped me so much and made me feel very comfortable throughout my diagnosis and starting new medication. Amanda is very professional and always checks in to make sure that the medication is working for me. Highly recommend.

Good experience, very responsive and helpful. My assessor, Dr Khan was pleasant and shared good advice, but I would say that Amanda O'Brien as titration nurse has been immensely helpful in navigating my ADHD diagnosis and treatment.

She's highly responsive when I have questions, and took the time to really understand what would work best for me, so I felt like I was in great hands throughout.

Overall a great experience with Dr J - with huge thanks to Amanda.

Dr J and Colleagues was the best decision i made. Working with Amanda throughout the titration process made my journey so smooth, less stressful and she was very supportive offering guidance and advice throughout every appointment and via email. The 3 members of staff I spoke too were all super friendly, reassuring and highly professional which also added to the calmness of what can be a daunting time. Id highly recommend Dr J&C to undergo an adhd/autism diagnosis. I was diagnosed and medicated within the year and I could not be more grateful to have had such a smooth process from start to finish!

Fantastic and professional service. Very organised and planned. My main practitioner was Amanda who was so kind, calm and knowledgable. I felt like I was in good hands through out the whole process. I was offered multiple resources for further research and I feel able to reach back out to the service for further support if needed.

Thank you very much, Marylyn! Today was my last appointment. Marylyn was so kind and patient throughout the long process of finding the right dosage for my medication. I am so happy, my life has improved so much with the right ADHD medication.
