Augmentive Reviews 

This is the second time I've worked with Andrea - today was an ad-hoc crisis appointment. She really helped put things into perspective for me and gave me some take away points right at the end of the meeting. I would highly recommend her.

Very approachable and very informative - would recommend

Dr Kalpana was very approachable with excellent communication skills which made us feel at ease. I would happily recommend an assessment with her.

Very friendly and professional, she made me feel comfortable enough to express my condition freely. She also gave very good feedback and information, and I would definitely recommend her to others.

Fantastic service, Dr Kalpana was incredibly helpful. She explained the process thoroughly and made me feel at ease. So grateful for her time & advice thank you so much !

Dr Eappen is very thorough and kind. The whole Augmentive process has been very easy to deal with. They are keeping my GP informed of every session. Dr Eappen's PA Debra is also very kind and helpful

Dr Sadiq was an excellent listener and summarised the case really well, he spent a great deal of time talking to us and we would really recommend his practice

I had the pleasure of an appointment with Dr Johnny Iyiola and I couldn't recommend him more highly. I had long suspected I had ADHD (I'm now 40) and finally booked an assessment. He was very warm and personable, putting me at ease straight away. He showed great understanding and empathy towards the examples and experiences I cited and combined a very professional medically informed approach with a very warm and human touch - 10/10.

Super easy process via the Augmentive site, lots of choice of specialists so you can find exactly what are looking for to fit your requirements. Dr Bakshi and his PA Debra were both great, really helpful, attentive and professional. Highly recommend using the Augmentive platform.

Dr Eappen was incredibly kind and patient, explained everything to me clearly, allowing time for questions. This is something I’ve struggled with my whole life and not knowing what it was has been immensely challenging for me. Talking to Dr Eappen felt validating and felt like a weight had been lifted. Would highly recommend!

I've left a previous review in Dec 24 that I made when first finding Augmentive (George 11 is tag name, real name Paul Cummings) so wanted to update anybody thinking of using Augmentive as it's easy to write a gushing review when emotional due to the relief of finally knowing what's wrong and the hope you are on the path to normality. It's also easy to leave a negative review when hitting a bump or 2 so I think after 7 months I can offer a balanced opinion.

Absolutely recommend 5 Star. Dr Dein has been a godsend. Being diagnosed is not a magic bullet, it's the start of your healing process.

There's been ups and downs and some frustrations, mainly with Titration but that's to be expected. It's a gradual process to make sure you get it right long term.

I'm now 7 months in and still going through Titration as the Meds from low to a bit higher to a bit higher have all worked (they are amazing), but my body has adjusted so we've had to adjust with it. The Psychiatrist is trying to find the lowest dose possible that works for you, and that takes time and work from you to assess how you feel. I made regular notes.

We all want and think we need a higher dose after a bad day or 2. That's why we have professionals assess and question and don't self medicate.

I started on 30mg Elvanse, now 60 mg, and we've had to introduce and adjust each dose with an Amfexa top up and adjust these timings during the day, as whilst Elvanse is magic, it just doesn't last all day for me.

I now feel we are either there, or nearly there and having an occasional day or 2 break from the Meds has also helped.

Yes this is costly, but it's vital to get your dosage right and it really is tweak assess, tweak again.

If I'd gone the NHS route I'd still be 7 years from an appointment. I'm now probably a few months off going on a shared care agreement with my GP.

Be patient (no pun intended) as despite the cost, it's more important to get it right. I struggled for 53 years without knowing why, another few months cost and an annual review is just something to suck up and accept as I want the medication to be right so I can continue enjoying life, and having energy I never had (when dose is right) for the rest of my years.

What price would you put on years of feeling normal?

I'll be eternally grateful to Augmentive as without them I'd never have found Dr Dein and was becoming increasingly frustrated trying to get an appointment before stumbling across them online.

Others seemed happy to take your money then allow you to ask questions. Augmentive answered all my questions and asked me to go through their professionals and see who I felt comfortable with before any payment was discussed.

The app when contacting Dr Dein for Meds or catch up appointments is easy to use and always sends me reminders of upcoming appointments. And the quality of the professionals they have is 2nd to none (Dr Dein is a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists).

Augmentive is simply the best option out there for anybody looking for a quick diagnosis and the best professionals available, and the support going forward.

Dr Bakshi was brilliant, he listened intently and was very considerate of my medical history when discussing options of moving forward. I'm really pleased I chose to have my assessment with Dr Bakshi as it was clear he had brilliant knowledge of ADHD but also of antidepressants which was vital for me. Definitely recommend him to anyone.

Dr Dein is very empathetic and professional. Very thorough.
I felt listened to and understood.

Easy to access support, I found it super useful and would recommend it to anyone looking for support with ADHD.

Dr Gil has prescribed medication that has been so helpful.

A beautiful lady who found her calling. Highly recommend.

Very thorough and professional.
Very empathetic and kind. Dr.Kalpana Dein, highly recommended.

I had completed ADHD assessment with Dr Sandhya Eappen, she was very professional and easy to talk to. The whole experience was smooth from start to finish. I would highly recommend.

I had my Assessment with Dr. Dein and I have to say it was a really good experience. She was easy to talk too and get along with. There were many questions asked both about my Childhood and Adulthood. She made me feel at ease and allowed me time to think and process information. Some things were not easy, like remembering things from my childhood, but wasn't an issue. The end result for me was I have ADHD with some traits of Autism. Right now, it's a lot to take in, but it explains my life, experiences and behaviors so much. On wards and up wards now! After the assessment, she explained the next steps, talked me through Medication and shared care with my GP after I'm stable. If you're somebody who has struggled throughout life with various things and can't explain it or your behaviors and are looking into an ADHD Assessment, then I would highly recommend Dr. Dein.

Dr Hina Rehman was incredibly friendly and helpful and understanding of my situation.
