I went to see Dr Persey to get a second professional opinion on my condition which I believe NHS has been avoiding giving me the right treatment for my condition.

Raynaud's syndrome
Dr Persey put me at ease straight away and was very helpful both in diagnosing the issue and in suggesting managing the problem. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and I left feeling much more comforted than I had done from my GP appointment. Although there wasn't anything he could 'do' about the issue, he was very helpful and made it clear that I could come back at any time if my symptoms worsened or just if I had concerns.

Arthritis Joint Injection
Extremely easy consultation. Dr Persey quickly identified the problem and took time to explain the issue and the possible solution. From a Covid point of view ( which of course matters in these strange time) it felt safe. The hospital took every precaution on entering and both Dr Persey and I wore a mask during our discussion. I would have no hesitation in recommending

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Dr Persey gave relevant information during our consultation and was very polite and understanding.
Read moreMy experience of my recent consultation with Dr Malcolm Persey helped to soothe my anxiety over the polymyalgia rheumatica I have suffered for nearly two years. His calm and reassuring bedside manner has the authority derived from deep knowledge and experience of a particular issue while indicating potential sources of action that may help to alleviate current problems. Dr Persey’s suggestions about changes in medication that may improve my situation are based his knowledge of the drugs involved as well as careful consideration of the way I am likely to react to them in the future. I am relieved by his suggestion that I should try dropping the Methotrexate and slightly increasing the prednisolone. I believe that Dr Persey’s professional help and support will help me on the road to recovery.

Knee Pain
Made a 5 hr trip to London to see Dr Persey for painful knees. I was very happy to get a face to face appointment and very quickly too. Thank you. Aspirated and injected my knee with what I felt was instant result. However, wouldn't want to be repeating procedure on a regular basis and hope this to be a one off treatment.He was all his reviews said, which influenced my choice of Specialist. Approachable, he listened and was professional yet human, all the qualities that make a good doctor, and as a nurse myself of 39years, I've seen much. His diagnostic letter including treatment was quick to receive and to the point. The overall experience was a good one and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Persey. Thank you again.

severe pelvic and spinal pain
My doctor referred me to Dr. Persey and even in these difficult times he fitted me in with 24 hours. He was very direct and to the point and really helped me understand that sometimes referred pain can be much more intense than pain from an actual site of injury. I found Dr. Persey very helpful indeed and I would highly recommend him to anyone with back or joint problems
