Here’s What Our Patients Have to Say

I saw Dr Gill yesterday from Dr Finlay’s private practice about my Long Covid, after having no tangible help from the NHS for 18 months. Dr Gill was clearly extremely well informed , extremely helpful and able to suggest ways to manage my symptoms in a way no one else has been able to do. I left feeling my symptoms had been taken seriously (rare with LC) and had a clear pathway of actions to take to help me. Thank you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been seeing Dr James Gill for my long covid for almost a year now, and would highly recommend him. It has been a massive boost to have a Doctor on my side who is clearly hugely knowledgeable, committed to doing all he can to help and a really nice guy. There doesn't seem to be any silver bullet when it comes to long covid, but at least with Dr Gill I feel I am doing all I can to help with it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr James Gill has been fantastic in the long covid clinic. He is friendly, open, professional and I've come away from both appointments with him with a sense of hope and actual things to try. In his first appointment he helped solve one of my biggest symptoms with a new medication. He listens and understands the challenges I face and works me with as a patient with experience and knowledge myself.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Dr. Ben and Dr Finlay's Practice. Having struggled on with Long Covid for a year presenting as fatigued etc. Dr Ben offers holistic care with great understanding and compassion. I now have a robust plan in place and have found solace in finally being able to combat Long Covid symptoms and work to build my energy levels back up.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr, Grimston was sympathetic and professional. She made efficient use of the time available and suggested some useful further investigations. It made a change to be assessed as a whole person rather than just from the point of view of one speciality!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spoke with Dr Gill a few weeks ago regarding my Long COVID symptoms. It was so helpful and validating to speak to someone with lived experience of Long COVID. He was so thorough, kind and just "got it". We spoke about lots of potential treatment options and I've started some already. Higjly recommend and looking forward to my follow up in a few weeks.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have seen a huge volume of conventional and functional practitioners but Dr Ben Sinclair is outstanding. I have just had my first appointment and I am confident we will finally make significant progress with my Long Covid which I have had since the end of 2020. His knowledge is excellent and combines Functional Medicine, which has been the only thing that has helped me so far, but with the Long Covid focus which has been missing with my care previously. His treatment options I can see are very well considered and he is confident in his ability to diagnose the underlying issues. Lastly, he has suffered from LC himself so understands how debilitating it can be and is not only focused on dealing with the route case but also symptom management and quality of life, I would highly recommend.

FAQs

I don’t know if I have ME / CFS, Long Covid or something else. Is Dr Finlay’s Long Covid Clinic a good fit for me?

Absolutely. Our clinic has expertise in post-viral and chronic fatigue syndrome and a particular interest in medically unexplained symptoms, Lyme Disease, co-infections and chronic pain. We can investigate what is happening in your body and support you with a personalised treatment plan to help you recover.

What is the difference between Long Covid and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS / ME)?

Long Covid can include a range of symptoms caused by the virus’s impact on multiple organ systems, whereas CFS / ME is a chronic condition triggered by infection but characterised primarily by severe fatigue and post-exertional malaise. Both require specialised, multidisciplinary care.

Can your clinic treat both Long Covid and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

Yes. Our integrative approach supports patients with Long Covid, CFS / ME and overlapping symptoms, focusing on personalised care and holistic recovery.

How long does recovery usually take?

Recovery timelines vary greatly depending on individual factors, including genetics, medical history and environmental exposure. Our structured protocols aim to accelerate healing while respecting your body’s pace.

Do I need to stop seeing my GP or NHS doctors?

No. Our care complements your existing healthcare providers and offers specialised support that is not always available in standard care.

What do I get for my investment?

We make sure we offer you the very best possible care. This includes recruiting and taking excellent care of the highest calibre medical team, offering you extended appointment times that allow for high-quality personal care, creating clinical time for multi-disciplinary collaboration around your case, participating in research, and pioneering innovations around treatment. We also price our clinic to make space for a traditional patient-doctor relationship where you get to know and see the same doctor because we believe this is so important when it comes to continuity of care and excellent outcomes. We are confident that you’ll feel the difference our approach makes, both to your immediate health and to your long-term thriving.

Does Dr Finlay’s Long Covid Clinic support children and teens under 18?

Yes, absolutely. Our Long Covid doctors are the go-to clinical team for under-18s. Our service has been positively reviewed by many Long Covid kids advocates and groups. Children are particularly hard hit with Long Covid. They miss out on seeing their friends, being able to socialise and learn, and not being free to do things without planning and pacing. It can be even more upsetting when they don’t understand what is wrong with them and why they aren’t getting better. Sadly, few of the children we see have previously received the right treatment, which contributes to their deterioration. We specialise in relieving their immediate symptoms, preventing further decline and creating the right conditions to enable their full recovery. We also support parents and carers who do an incredible job who sometimes may feel isolated and frustrated about how best to help their children.
