- I had the pleasure to meet Dr Tim Ojo today. He is a wonderful doctor, in my opinion different than other psychiatrist. He has a very human approach, he understands his patients and it's not all about prescribing medications. Thank you for today. Monica
- Excellent visit and would recommend to others
- The appointment with Dr Ojo was excellent and helpful. He suggested psychology and that his secretary would help. This has never materialized
- I was in a dire state and Dr Ojo was the only psychiatrist that could see me within a few days. He listened and advised i needed to be plugged into several NHS services, and wrote a report to my doctor to get me into the NHS system. He refused payment for our session, amazing man
- Very thorough and caught on to my story and intentions for the session immediately.
- Excellent service from DR Ojo and very good experience from entering and leaving building
