Dr. Blandthorn Alan R

I wanted to add my experience incase it helped others (esp.women) who will still be potentially seeing him before the end of the year and to also express my gratitude for Blandthorn’s above standard help and support I received since my assessment in May.

I was thoroughly assessed to cover and exclude any overlapping conditions and we had a whole appointment to discuss medications in a collaborative way which I appreciated as I had time to ask a lot of questions.

My medication titration period was handled much better than I’ve heard other’s were which I was so grateful for in the end when my body responded differently than most with an increase and I needed an urgent phone follow up which Blandthorn made time for even at the end of a long day so I really felt like he cared and I wasn’t a bother.

Over all I’m extremely thankful to him for providing access to a psych assessment very quickly and affordably as it has been truly life changing to have the support piece of medication from a Dr.who takes duty of care seriously and that what I struggle with is recognised and supported by other care providers going forward.

Thank you so much, you’ve helped more than you can know!

Dr Blandthorn was disrespectful, rude and insulting. He finished my session saying that I have **** traits and I need to just accept it and move on, then stood up, silently walked to the door, opened it and looked at me… guess I was dismissed.just curious though, it looks like the only positive responses here are from men. Does Dr Blandthorn have an issue with women?

Dr Blandthorn, is a polite, clam and caring professional Psychiatrist who specialises in ADHD treatment. I feel the citisism I've read here couldn't be further from my own experience. While each person has their own expectations and experiences (I'm not here to argue with anyone, or invalidate their experience) I felt it was important to say my experience has been positive.

I had an appointment with him in 2020 hoping to get assistance with a potential ADHD diagnosis. Instead, I was dismissed as someone shaped by my trauma (my symptoms were present before these events occurred). He was judgmental and suspicious, and assumed I wanted to be medicated because he thought I was an addict. I felt unheard, belittled, and this has had a negative impact on my perception of Western medicine. This man should have his license revoked.

It's funny. I'm looking at his reviews and nearly all negative reviews are from women. How interesting!

The negative reviews on here are unfair and do not reflect his service (a few of them never actually having seen him). He has been very helpful and supportive to me over the years.

I only saw this person once - as someone else mentioned he was dismissive and quite rude. He mocked the fact that I had altered the dose of my medication myself at one stage (as it was making me feel very dizzy and tired) and made me feel as though I needed to prove to him I had bipolar disorder - which I was diagnosed with back in 2012. I would not recommend him and I never went back.

Dr Alan Blandthorn is one of the most intelligent people that I have ever met in my entire life I have been seeing him for 15 years and he has helped me incredibly thru the years by far the best pych I have ever see and I have seen lots.

Unfortunately, my experience with Dr. Blandthorn was a very unpleasant one. I felt as though I was not heard and my feelings were belittled. He was dismissive, unaware and generally unprofessional. Obviously did not return.

I was a patient of Dr. Blandthorns in my 20's and l found his service to be helpful in terms of rectifying family disputes and in gaining further guided insite into my personal problems. Which led to bring able to get back into full time employment and return to some study. His professional guidance enabled me to further personal relationships with the opposite sex thus find a suitable partner. Overall l found his professional conduct to be of a high standard and to be of value personally.

Dr Alan Blandthorn refuses to see Children in desperate need of help for "personal reasons" without even meeting the child. After 4 weeks of waiting phone calls and sending referral twice and follow up emails his rude receptionists just say well its the way it is and thats fine. Its not fine. Should not be in a profession of looking after the mental state of children if this is how he treats the ones that need him the most.
