Dr Finlay's Private Practice Reviews

My experience was absolutely first class. Dr Reid had a calming and understanding persona which helped me relax and talk about my problems. I would recommend her to anyone.

Dr Sinclair and his team, I also see Dr Gill, have been a great help with me and my daughter with long covid. It is so refreshing to talk with people who have actually experienced long covid and who can offer treatement strategies beyond the Chronic Fatigue model that is run by the NHS. They are friendly and understanding and both our symptoms have improved (or should I say decreased?) under their guidance.

I highly recommend Dr Sinclair and his team. My son has been unwell for nearly 2 years following Covid 19. We have seen many Drs in that time both NHS and private. Dr Sinclair is the first Dr who has been able to give us a treatment plan to follow and hope of recovery. He is very understanding and supportive. He is very knowledable about Long Covid and explains everything in simple terms that make sense. It is still early days but I finally feel my son will return to full health.

Dr Ben Sinclair is a real doctor. And I'm saying that as a doctor myself attending as his patient. What I mean is he is willing to think outside the box to try and make a difference because he practices patient centred medicine. This is so valuable. Thank you

After nearly three years of failing to get a range of NHS (this included those that form part of the LC hub) & some private practitioners and consultants to recognise the signs and symptoms of LC and how these can trigger and exacerbate symptoms in those with hypermobility – we booked an online, initial consultation with Dr Sinclair. Dr Sinclair is highly recommended by others on the Long Covid for Kids and the Hypermobility Association Facebook pages and we can now understand why! Within minutes Dr Sinclair unified all the symptoms of LC and hypermobility, our son has been experiencing for nearly three years – having experienced both himself. We felt listened to, validated and experienced a huge sense of relief that we were being taken seriously. Dr Sinclair emailed us a record of the consultation and a detailed action plan on the same day of the consultation. Dr Sinclair’s administration team – in particular Bernie – has also been fantastic and super-efficient. We now feel far more confident that our son’s health will return to what it was, pre-pandemic levels. Many thanks to Dr Sinclair and the team – we cannot recommend him & them enough.

Thank you so much to Dr Sinclair and his team for helping and listening. My 11 yrdaughter has been suffering for nearly 2 years with long Covid and this has really made her day to day life a challenge. Dr Sinclair was willing to listen to my thoughts and concerns and willingly helped guide us to a ensure a better future. I can’t recommend this Dr and the team more! If you are suffering, please contact this practice, you will be listened to, helped and guided through to a better understanding and more importantly a better experience in lifestyle and health! Thank you all in the team.

Excellent support received from Ben (Dr Sinclair) and Dr Bickerton, Psychologist. They have both been there for me when I have needed it most through some difficult times, and there understanding, knowledge/expertise, skills of communication, guidance and therapeutic intervention (in the broadest sense) using a fully HOLISTIC approach, not just relying on this as a 'tag line' has been both immense and a GOD SEND!!! 🙌💪🤩

I was struggling with Long Covid and all its symptoms for almost a year, especially the extreme fatigue and anxiety, prior to finding Dr Sinclair. But the last 5 months with him and Anna Day have helped me immensely to manage these symptoms and get started with recovery. Always kind and encouraging, Dr. Sinclair has given me numerous tools that I will keep with me for a healthy lifestyle even after recovery!

After 3 very long years with long covid, I took the leap and had an initial consult with Dr Sinclair. What an absolute relief, to have someone who fully listens, understands, and validates your experience, and was incredibly knowledgeable about long covid. Every thing discussed made so much sense in terms of how I've been feeling. I now have a very clear plan, and finally have a way forward. The team are also very efficient, and I just can't recommend this practice enough.

We were absolutely delighted with the initial consultation we had with Dr Sinclair. He was engaging and interested in really listening to our daughter's symptoms and experiences. He was an absolute breath of fresh air, after 15 months of getting nowhere. He came up with practical suggestions as well as a treatment plan. Most importantly, he made our daughter feel that he understood her experience and, significantly, that he cared about her. Absolutely first class experience.

After a catastrophic 1.5 years of NHS appointments trying to help my Long Covid I was left in a terrible place. The NHS told me there was ‘nothing more they could do’ and I was having to navigate that disappointment (and scare) alongside my already Debilitating conditions. I spent hours and days trawling the internet for the latest research and treatments. I didn’t know who to turn to and really felt like I was going it alone. In total despair, I was recommended Dr Ben Sinclair. He is truly compassionate, inquisitive and pragmatic in his approach to treating long covid. Totally unlike any other Dr I’ve worked with. When you’ve got an ever evolving crisis like LC it’s so important to have a Dr that is able to build the plane whilst flying it. Ben can do exactly that. Finally I have some answers (and proper tests results!) and we can begin the treatment. Thank you Ben!

Having been hospitalised twice in the last two years, and given only medication with no plan for lifestyle improvements. I decided to ask Dr Sinclair to look into my health history and advise me accordingly. He was very thorough and very easy to talk to. I now feel as though I can make some progress in improving my health. So glad I took this step. Linda Aldridge Bromsgrove

I went to see Dr Sinclair, as I have a number of health concerns and being in my mid 50's, unable to get health insurance and finding out about a variety of conditions that are heredity, decided it was time. Dr Sinclair and a trainee thoroughly examined me for 2 hours, looking at my wellbeing, mind, physical and social conditions. This is the real deal on how all these areas interact. Without getting personal he was very thorough. This was followed by a follow up where we went through results and given an action plan. This plan for me has really motivated me to change aspects of my lifestyle, including recommended supplements and in my case a mri scan on my knee. In short I highly recommend the Doc and felt reassured and at ease all the way through. Highly recommended UPDATE 5/4/22 Well what can I say 3 months later I have reached my target weight, all my vital stats are now in normal parameters and Im feeling good. Thank you Dr Ben! Highly recommended

Went to see Dr Ben and his team for a checkup. He made everything easy to understand and gave me a clear plan to achieve what I needed to achieve.

Absolutely fantastic service. Very detailed 90 minute consultation and went away feeling great about my health and the plan to get me back on track with my wellbeing.

My first appointment with Dr Sinclair was incredibly helpful - providing me with an understanding of what I'm dealing with, and a plan to help me recover fully. Overall the team at Dr Finlays practice have made the process swift and easy. Thank you

I really cant recommend Dr Ben highly enough. The thorough health check he offers is second to none. No stone left unturned and personable demeanour had me leaving his practice in a confident head space. Thankyou Dr Ben.

Great experience with Dr Ben after so long without being able to see a GP face to face. I've already booked my next appointment,

I had an online appointment with Dr. Sinclair, and can't recommend him and his team highly enough. I had been getting nowhere fast with ongoing health problems suspected to be long covid, and struggled to get support via my GP. Dr. Sinclair is very warm, thorough, validating and knowledgeable. He has first hand experience of long covid and what may help, invaluable for a new illness for which many doctors are at a loss of knowing how to proceed. He gave me a detailed plan and booked a follow up appointment to review my progress. Booking appointments is easy and Zoe even helped solve a problem with my prescription. I highly recommend this service.
