Doctor Bourke potentially saved my life. I was unable to sleep, suffering from night terrors. The physical symptoms were atrocious even though there was nothing wrong with my body. Been in his care was the best thing that happened to me at a time when hopelessness had taken hold. He was kind, compassionate, professional and assuring. I trusted his assessment and advice fully, thanks to that and some hard work, I have been discharged. I feel I was 8n the best hands and will forever be grateful. Should I need help again, he will be the first door I knock on. Paola. O

"I was referred to Dr Bourke in the first half of 2021 with a later confirmed diagnosis of Fibromyalgia, Small Fibre Peripheral Neuropathy, and resultant extreme anxiety. I was in constant unbearable pain and finding it very difficult to cope mentally. Early-on, Dr Bourke promised me that whilst my condition might not be curable, it was treatable over time. At times at my lowest, I clung-on to his reassuring, knowledgeable and professional words and tone, sure in the knowledge that (along with my stubborn determination) I would recover sufficiently in the medium-term future. Without his involvement (and during COVID restrictions which severely restricted medical access), I feel certain I would have had a mental breakdown. I was discharged from his care in January 2023 having gradually recovered over 2022 when Dr Bourke guided me through Tramadol and Duloxetine withdrawal. Although throughout he was rightly paid for his services, there are literally no sufficient words to describe the 'above-and-beyond' support and kindness he showed me. Recurrence of my condition/s may or may not happen in the future, but I'm hugely reassured that if it does I can be referred back to Dr Bourke as required. February 2023" Regards Bob
