Meet Dr Harneet Hundal
Dr Hundal listened to me and quickly but with careful consideration was able to make a diagnosis. She was very polite and answered all my questions. The practice manager has also been brilliant and very quickly responds to any queries.
Dr Hundal and I met to discuss a change to my ADHD medication. She sat and listened carefully, asked relevant questions, suggested a course of action, asked me a view on it and explained the next steps clearly to me. I felt listened to, that my opinion was important and that she took that into account. Seeing her after months of problems and waiting in the NHS was a real relief.
I wont lie I was lost and struggling to understand at 53 why I was and had made such bad life choices. The team here were none judgmental and have helped me get a diagnosis which I really hope is a changing point for me and my family. They are 1st rate.
Dr Hundal is extraordinary! She transmits serenity, compassion, understanding and great sense of humor! This comes of course accompanied by profound knowledge of the human "brain". I left the session secure to follow her instructions.
