I had a prebooked appointment to discuss my hypertension as I was unhappy about the ingredients (sodium lauryl sulphate) and some of the side affects of one of the two tablets I was prescribed two years ago. In the short time allotted we managed to keep up with each other for whilst she printed off a repeat prescriptions I highlighted other unrelated problems. She was very receptive and taking Dr Grimston's advice I will follow up with her in a few weeks time when I hope my BP will be lower with exercise and breathing techniques. Once I get a ballpark figure on my BP readings, I am going to take a proven natural herbal substance (I have knowledge of the ingredients) on a daily basis to see if I can hopefully continue make progress. I purchased a new BP monitor and can report that in just three days both systolic and diastolic pressures have gone down considerably. Dr Grimston helped me three years ago when I discussed the ramifications of taking a water tablet (which I am no longer on) and I remain impressed by her knowledge and the kindness and caring attitude she has had on both occasions. I shall happily consult her again in the very near future.
ITS GOOD TO BE BACK WITH DR GRIMSTON A VERY GOOD DOCTOT I TRUST WIYH MY LIFE.
I found Dr Grimston to be affable and very approachable. She listened to my concerns, and was quick to identify the problems associated with my condition. Also Dr Grimston took the trouble to explain issues I face post surgery and provide guidance as to how best I address them as well as simply writing out a prescription for my immediate needs.
I felt reassured and am confident that if I were to see her again she would display the same caring and knowledgeable attitude which is not something one can take for granted nowadays.
always very caring, calm & considerate !
I have only seen this doctor once, but she appeared to be knowledgeable and able to focus on the issues I presented with.

Profile
With 20 years' experience of general practice and a lifelong interest in women's health, endocrinology and complementary therapies, I focus on inspiring and empowering patients to take back control of their health and make informed decisions, using lifestyle and mindset to tranform their health experience and minimise the use of prescribed medications.
In my private practice and professional speaking I am particularly focused on helping individuals and organisations to deal with stress and hormone imbalances in a more pro-active way.
