- Dr Lynch was so good at listening to my explanations of what I experience with FND and then talking through with me what is happening and what could be tried to help with the difficult symptoms i experience. He was so empathetic and truly the best doctor i have seen regarding my FND. So understanding and helpful and insightful. Dr Lynch has really given me new insight about the dissociative side of FND and the intense physical discomfort I experience with that. Thank you so much.
- Thank you for spending the time to listen, understand and respond to my issues. Very clear information and explanations and I feel confident in my understanding and in next steps.
- Fantastic service from start to finish
