It was a source of immeasurable relief to recently return for a second consultation with Professor Garrard, following my first consultation with him three years ago. Having paid close attention to the symptoms I reported, Professor Garrard set in train the thorough clinical processes he uses for his diagnosis, and then met me with the same (unique in my experience) straightforward eloquence and approachability that I encountered with relief three years ago. By combining clinical excellence with kindness and willing forbearance in taking the time to explain important technicalities in plain English, Professor Garrard gave me vital emotional as well as clinical support going forward.

Our consultation with Prof. Garrard had a very calming effect on both of us as we arrived with considerable uncertainties as to where we were with an Altzheimer’s diagnosis. All these were removed and we now have a clear path forward to deal with the immediate future.
