I was a master student in the UK and I’m incredibly grateful to this clinic—especially to Dr. Amanda O’Brien. She’s the most genuine and kind doctor I’ve ever met. Over the past year, my journey with ADHD treatment and follow-ups has been outstanding because of her care and support.

She always replied to my (often long!) emails so quickly, offering thoughtful advice with warmth and professionalism. I genuinely felt seen, heard, and involved in every step of my treatment plan—something I’ve found rare with other doctors who tend to rush appointments just to wrap things up. This experience was completely different, and without a doubt, the best I’ve ever had, both in the UK and in my home country.

When I had to return home after finishing my studies, I was honestly so anxious about the logistics—different systems, medication access, airport procedures—you name it. But Dr. O’Brien was amazing! She helped me sort out the documents I needed, made sure I had a proper supply of my medication before traveling, and reassured me that I could always reach out if I needed anything. That kind of support meant the world to me and made the whole transition so much smoother.

I’ll always be thankful to have had her as my doctor. Truly one of a kind!

I had a really positive experience with Dr J and Colleagues. The whole process was much quicker than NHS waiting times, which made such a difference in getting the support I needed.

Everything was clearly communicated, and I felt well-informed at every stage. I’m especially grateful to Megan Smith, who was incredibly kind, supportive, and efficient throughout - she really made the process feel smooth and manageable.

Getting assessed and receiving results in a timely and professional way gave me a lot of clarity and peace of mind. I’d definitely recommend this service to others seeking answers and support.

I've been working with Amanda O'Brien through my tritation and adjustment journey on taking Elvanse and I have to say that she's made a very daunting scenario very easy and stress free. I've been dreading discussing my situation and ailments but it's been very seamless, Amanda always listens, hears me and always has my best interests in her advice, I'm not sure that I could have had a better experience if I'd hand selected my consultant. She's been incredible with me and I'm eternally grateful. The medication has been life changing for me.

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.

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) 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.

Unfortunately I can't really recommend these psychiatrists as they are currently running. There are often delays to reports, time scales on things given in appointments which end up not being accurate. Not really feeling like my concerns and hopes have been taken into account between appointments, so feeling a bit ignored. A debit card system that never worked, resulting in having to pay by bank transfer which caused delays. I gave an extra star as at least twice it was my own fault for forgetting to pay or coming on the wrong day, and they were fairly accomadating. But I'm diagnosed with these issues so they're partially part of the condition: but when I'm relying on them, especially for paying so much for their services, I'd expect much more reliability. The problem is I now feel stuck with them as my GP is currently delaying accepting a shared care agreement, despite the the psychiatrist being certain they would accept it. I acknowledge this isn't the psychiatrists fault, but I feel they should have made clearer there's a chance the agreement won't be accepted. Also they left me without medication or a follow up appointment because this process was meant to be completed within a month. But the psychiatrist was delayed by a month in sending the paperwork. Then they didn't reply to their emails. And now I've got to wait nearly a month just for a appointment to get a repeat prescription. I was really delaying leaving a review as I was really worried it might impact on my care but it's at the point it is now bothering me too much.

For anyone looking to get assessed through NHS' Right to Choose scheme, DON'T.

1. They sent me someone else's patient data by email
2. They have threatened to leave me without appointment multiple times
3. They don't have any responsibility for their actions, just try to outsource to somewhere else
4. Recent incident, their provider failed to deliver my medication, Dr J and C said I need to solve this with their external provider and refused to take any responsibility even though I am under their care currently. They said they can't get me my medication even though I said I can pick up the same day. They basically left my without my medication which is reckless and potentially dangerous
5. I have asked after every incident to make an official complaint but they refuse to provide me with the details

Only positive side is that my pharmacist in titration has been pleasant to work with. Their overall processes are dangering patient safety and no one should be using this company even if their diagnosing times may be quicker.

Absolutely great experience from start to finish. My clinician Sandra was fantastic and really took the time to listen and adapt to my needs. Thank you!
