Reviews
I saw Dr Clunie in 2021 following many years of health issues. Unfortunately I had been misdiagnosed with CFS by the NHS, and had struggled to access good care within the NHS system. Dr Clunie carried out appropriate tests and expertly diagnosed me with spondyloarthritis. He was very attentive and listened carefully to my symptoms, and was at no point dismissive, which many doctors in the past have been. His diagnosis and subsequent treatment plan has been truly life-changing for me - since starting on the medication he suggested, I have been able to resume all my previous activities and return to my old life. Since then, I have contacted Dr Clunie on several occasions for advice and letters of support/medical evidence. He has always been very swift to respond and very helpful in these matters.
I saw Dr Clunie with symptoms of possible fibromyalgia, he was right to suggest further tests as they turned out to be side effects of stage 3 bowel cancer. I am so thankful that he listened and didn't assume it was just fibromyalgia, he wanted to discount other possible causes first.
Dr Clunie has greatly improved my quality of life. I wish that I had seen him many years ago. He diagnosed very quickly my condition, and then explained and discussed the possible treatment options in a personalised and considerate way. His whole approach is empathetic, caring and professional. I have confidence in him and I know that my care is in very good hands.
Dr. Clunie is extremely professional, knowledgeable and kind. He explained everything clearly. His efficient communication and thorough approach meant that at last I received the correct medication for my osteoporosis and pain relief. It has resulted in a huge improvement in my mobility and quality of life. I am very grateful to Dr. Clunie and his team.
Dr Clunie is kind, patient and respectful. He has a quiet patient manner and i have felt extremely safe in his care. He always lays out available options and we arrived at the treatment decisions together. I really value his approach and manner and I am glad I am under his care.
