Reviews
Dr Andrew was very helpful and listened with clear interest and understanding of what I was saying.
I liked that he listened to what I had to say
After previous attempts at seeking appropriate medical treatment I was initially nervous about dredging up the past and opening up to someone new, and starting from scratch. However, Dr. Montgomery asked appropriate questions, probed further when necessary, and allowed me to discuss my situation at ease. He listened intently throughout, displayed empathy and understanding of Bipolar Affective Disorder and vindicated my decision to pay for private health care. He prescribed the appropriate medication and now (3 months later) I have already noticed a difference in my clarity of though and my moods levelling out somewhat. The follow up appointment was also beneficial and I was not pressured into further appointments, but was advised to get in touch when necessary. After 12 years of trying to get on top of this I finally feel light at the end of the tunnel. Would highly recommend Dr. Montgomery to anyone.
This was always going to be a bit of a difficult process, facing up to decade old problems. It stopped being difficult when Andy became involved.
Andy listened to what I had to say,answered questions about my own concerns and worries without judgement and was able to prescribe the appropriate medication relevant to my diagnosis.
I felt supported and listened to.
