We went to get my son's helmet done and weren't really told about the issues they Dr seemed hungry for the £2400... In the first instance the scan wasn't even done properly and we had to go back... The helmet caused him to have rashes and red marks on his head. PLEASE LISTEN TO THE NHS AND AVOID THIS TREATMENT FOR YOUR BABY FROM THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!

EDIT- THEY HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH OVER 4 WEEKS AGO PROMISING A REFUND OF £700 VIA EMAIL.... AND GUESS WHAT STILL NOTHING !!!!! BUT YOUR QUICK TO TAKE THE MONEY AREN'T YOU? I'VE JUST ABOUT HAD ENOUGH OF BEING SCAMMED BY PLACES!

Mr Saeed Hamid has been very helpful and offered us guidance during his 2 assessments of our son for potential need for helmet in view of his plagiocephaly. Thankfully our baby improved in between appointments with the advice given by Mr Hamid and he didnt need a helmet in the end. We are very grateful for Mr Hamid's advice and help and the fact that he reassured us and offered us these 2 assessments for our baby. Once again, thank you so much Mr Hamid!

Like many other parents my husband and I were in complete turmoil as to whether to go for helmet treatment for our 6 month old. Mr Saeed Hamid held initial consultations with us over Facetime (given the Covid-19 pandemic) when our son Rish was 4 months old. He kindly provided us with free advice to help us try and combat the flat spot that had developed naturally before even discussing any formal treatment options. He truly understood our view that treatment was something to be avoided if at all possible.

After a couple of months of rigorous tummy time practice Rish's flat spot was still severe. We met with Mr Hamid at the Romford clinic to take some measurements and found that he had severe plagiocephaly (measuring 10.85mm on the asymmetry index). After a lot of deliberation we decided to go ahead with helmet treatment and couldn't be happier that we did - in fact a huge weight had lifted once we'd made the decision. Some of our concerns centred around how it would impact Rish's sleep and quite honestly it didn't at all. After approximately 5 months of treatment (which now feels like a blip in our baby's life) we achieved a reduction to 5.53mm on the asymmetry index (mild-moderate), which we are extremely happy with.

As part of our treatment we trialled the 3D printed helmet that LOC has developed - we found this worked great for us as it is lighter and more breathable which helped over the warmer months.

Mr Hamid was a pleasure to deal with, very patient, never pushy and always realistic about what could be achieved. The administrative team at LOC were also super helpful with arranging appointments to suit our babies ever-changing nap schedule!

Thank you so much to LOC for such a positive experience!

Did not receive the information on the consultation that cost £160
Did not like the doctor’s approach, did not feel that doctor sensed my problem totally, as he starting consultation from annoying phrase - its common problem , even though it is far from common
