Patient Testimonials

I left feeling really reassured, clear and supported

This was my first time speaking with someone and I was very nervous. I had no idea what to expect but felt at ease very quickly and overall have only positive feelings towards my appointment.

Professional and empathetic

I had an excellent experience with Dr Pittock. I was apprehensive about the appointment, but she put me at ease and created a safe space. She was both professional and empathetic throughout and never made me feel rushed or judged. She gave me all the information I needed regarding medication so that I could make an informed decision.

Incredibly understanding

Dr Pittock was incredibly understanding of my struggles with ADHD, and didn't make me feel ashamed in any way. She changed my medications to suit my lifestyle and sleep schedule, instead of just a one-size-fits-all program that I had previously been on.

My first visit with Dr. Pittock was a 90-minute initial assessment. I was very apprehensive beforehand but she was able to put me at ease immediately and made me feel I could talk openly and be myself without fear of judgement.
