Dr Mayet has a particular interest in and training in mental health problems and he surpasses any mental health specialists that I have dealt with over the last 20 years since my bipolar diagnosis. He combines an extensive familiarity with the merits and demerits of bipolar medication, with active listening and perception, giving me much needed perspective at dark times, encouraging me but challenging me at the same time, giving me practical tools to cope with daily life and, critically, to spot critical situations and seek help before they spiral out of control. In addition to closely monitoring my condition and helping to find me the right medication to control my mood swings, he has sought to understand my life pressures and taught me to take better preventative care. At every consultation he provides counselling as well as strategies and practical resources. He is highly efficient at getting access and advice from specialists. He has proved an excellent advocate. He is the first GP I have come across that has insisted that my husband, my primary carer attends critical meetings so that my husband is able to provide key observations and perspective on my state of health and also so he gains a better understanding of the severity of my condition and is better able to provide monitoring and timely support. Needless to say Dr Mayet always, always goes above and beyond, in spite of the pressures he has to give his attention to his many patients. Dr Mayet is a highly skilled, pro-active and committed professional and family doctor, who takes a holistic approach to health, and really cares about the well being of those under his care.
