Extremely knowledgeable! Dr Aylwin has run a very comprehensive screening on my health, he's listened to all my concerns, and family history, and didn't leave any room for guessing, requesting not only the screenings he considered a must, but also the ones which, once done, would put me at ease that, due to family history, we're not leaving any stones unturned and would be made aware of any health conditions, and take on the treatment needed, sooner rather than later. Upon results, he explained with great level of detail all possible pathways to address my health issues, both on traditional and natural courses of treatment. His secretary also extremely helpful and diligent, making bookings and treatment planning as smooth and hassle-free as possible. I'm very happy with my treatment so far and next steps, and would recommend Dr. Simon without any reservations to family & friends. Thank you!

He was OK. Considerate but sometimes drifted off....

Within my first consultation with Dr Aylwin, I was given more information, definitive answers and understanding than in the previous 5 years, seeing specialist after specialist. Dr Aylwin listens to me and has systematically tackled each area of concern with great results that I would not have been able to achieve otherwise. With Saxenda I have achieved a weight loss of 15lbs in 2-months with negligible side effects. Dr Aylwin has always taken into account what matters to me and he has given me great peace of mind on many would-be concerns associated with PCOS.

Dr Aylwin has treated me for Graves’ disease for over a year (since Sept 2020) and I’ve been in excellent care. I’ve had a positive result from my initial diagnosis and treatment, which included a large lump in my neck. Thank you Simon for all your help and support!
