Dr Finlay's Private Practice

I had a consultation with Dr Gill this morning. I was fed up of having conversations within the NHS with people who have no clue about long covid. My local long covid clinic closed last year, there is no one to go for support or advice. Whilst I need to accept there isn’t a root cause fix right now that will get me back to normal, Dr Gill used his experience to go through my long covid journey and each of the symptoms I live daily with. He is understanding and keen to try to help and problem solve. He has provided a list of medication and supplements against each symptom which will hopefully ease these. I look forward to seeing what impact this has in hoping to improve my quality of life.

I've had a couple of appointments with Dr James Gill and am greatly appreciating his curious, friendly, and pragmatic approach. At my first consultation, he thoroughly reviewed my existing medications and supplements, and suggested a new medication that my NHS GP now prescribes. This has led to a significant and measurable improvement in my quality of life. Dr. Gill stays up to date with the latest research and takes the time to explain the evidence and risks behind any recommendation. We're now moving forward with a new treatment plan based on targeted testing he advised. I feel listened to, respected, and well-supported in his care.

I found Doctor Gill absolutely great from the outset. Given I've been suffering for over 5 years with long covid and have seen a range of private doctors over that time, I am by far making the most progress now. I really like his approach and feel he is supporting me with the information and treatment I need to hopefully beat this crappy condition. I have hope again! I can see marked improvements in the data from my fitness watch so it's clear the progress I am making.

I have just had my first consultation with Dr Alison Grimston being at a total loss and pursuing all options through the NHS with having long covid. Dr Grimston seemed to have a wealth of knowledge which wasn’t surprising after seeing her multiple specialisms, all the next steps were explained in detail and followed up with a email detailing an in depth plan. Dr Grimston was asking me questions and that made me feel a genuine sense of security that she wanted to maximise treatment effectiveness by having a full insight of my symptoms and the impact they have on my quality of life. One thing I like most is being able to communicate with one professional this makes miscommunications less likely and is a lot less stressful which is helpful when there is already so much to balance. Also to add the secretary team have always been so helpful even before I enrolled as a patient. I will update this review as treatment progresses but for the first time I feel supported and heard and that’s something in its self.

I saw Dr Grimston to discuss my Lyme diagnosis. It was an amazing experience of being thoroughly listened to and heard in detail by someone who understands conventional and functional medicine. Not only that, she was also very warm and caring, so I was able to be open emotionally as well as factually. We had an hour which was a decent length of time and Dr Grimston managed this smoothly to fit in everything without in any way rushing me.

Dr Gill is incredible and I’d recommend him to anyone. As a family that still takes Covid precautions due to vulnerability and the risk of long covid, his advice and help was so valuable and reassuring. He treats his patients as competent individuals and I’m so grateful that I found his clinic. Thank you!!

Dr Gill is 11 out of 10! My wife has had Long Covid since March 2020 and Dr Gill has been the first Dr who empathetically listened and took an holistic approach. He suggested various options which we are following up on and took a data driven but pragmatic approach to try and change the dial on my wife's health. He is very knowledgeable and experienced in this field & has given us hope for the first time in 5 years. We have no hessitation in highly recommending him. Thank you so much
