- Condition of facilities
- Appointment with Dr Holroyd for a PoTS patient. Highly reccomend. A world away from trying to help your regular GP see and act upon your condition. We left with a real sence of being heard and most importantly, with some genuine hope.
- Excellent consultant. Calm, down to earth personality. All the facilities Dr Holroyd works at are excellent. Does not just talk in medical jargon. Nice to be finally understood and believed with my symptoms and now diagnosed with POTS. Would definitely recommend.
- I came to Dr Holroyd after years of dismissal and incorrect treatments - I’ve come away with a diagnosis and correct medication which has given me some life back. He works in a very holistic way taking my overall picture and feelings into account when treating. Very validating!
- Doctor Holroyd is the best doctor I’ve been involved with. I’ve been to many doctors of all different types over the past ten years. Dr Holroyd is the only one who truly listened and treated me with respect throughout. Diagnosis was also very timely and efficient.
- Dr Holroyd was excellent. I’ve had a chronic condition for many years now and Dr Holroyd was the first doctor in 10 years to show me respect and understanding. He didn’t dismiss me, he actually helped give me answers.
- Dr Holroyd is easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable. I felt reassured that he will sort out my medical issues quickly effectively.
- Really helpful and understanding
- If there was an option higher than “excellent” I would give that to Dr Holroyd. He is so compassionate and understanding as well as being an amazing doctor 5⭐️
- Dr Holroyd had been recommended to me. He listened to me and reassured me.
- We had a few issues getting connected, but once on the call, Dr Holroyd listened to our concerns, was very informative and reassuring and even offered to call us back later as we had missed some time at the beginning of the consultation. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend.
