- Dr Tim Ojo is genuinely one of the most compassionate and professional psychiatrists I’ve met. He made me feel listened to, understood, and completely comfortable speaking openly without judgement. He takes time to explain everything clearly, never rushes appointments, and truly cares about his patients. His calm and reassuring approach made a huge difference to me. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, supportive, and empathetic psychiatrist.
- Dr Ojo is outstanding and comes highly recommended. Not only is his expertise obvious but he is a truly caring and compassionate gentleman. With his help I am now able to see a realistic and positive way ahead....Doctor's response -Many thanks much appreciated.
- Really professional and helpful therapy. Doctor Ojo is easy to engage with, very clear in his explanations and questions and astute and helpful with his diagnosis and advice.
- 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
