- We saw Dr Bisati during an incredibly difficult and frightening time for our family. He was kind, compassionate and reassuring, and really took the time to listen and understand. When everything felt overwhelming and hopeless, he gave us something we desperately needed hope and reassurance that there was a way forward. We left feeling heard, supported and positive about the next steps. We are incredibly grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend him.
- My daughter has been under Dr Bisati for 4 years. He and all the staff helped her and our family through very dark times. Their empathy, compassion and understanding throughout was incredible. The consistency throughout her therapy was exemplary and continued after care appointments have meant she is now able to see the world differently. Now an adult she is still continuing her therapy to carry on her journey in healing and understanding herself better. Thank you 😊
- Dr Bisati was more helpful than the multitude of medical professionals I have seen for my daughter who has serious mental health issues. Highly recommended
- Dr Bisati was incredible with my son. He patiently took his time to really learn about his worries and anxiety’s and put his mind at rest. Dr Bisati thoroughly explained the treatment plan going forward and we left with no doubts or further questions. We felt welcome and looked after right from the very beginning and I would highly recommend to anybody in need. The hospital itself is beautifully kept and peaceful and not in the least bit clinical and every member of staff we met were lovely
- Thank you for your warmth, patience and care today. We really appreciated how calmly and thoroughly you listened, and how supported you made us feel throughout the appointment. It meant a great deal during a very difficult time
- Dr Bisati was kind, understanding and managed to build a rapid rapport with my 16-year-old daughter so that she felt able to voice her concerns freely. The report following our first meeting was thorough and showed that Dr Bisati had quickly identified her concerns and had grasped how she was feeling. The whole experience so far has been reassuring and very positive.
- Dr Bisati was great, very professional and listened to everything we had to say on our son. He gave great advise and came up with a great plan to help him.
