Title: Nottingham University Hospital or Guy's and St Thomas' in London?
Post by Michel on 05/09/13 at 06:06:59

After some hesitation by my partner's primary care trust, they have agreed to refer her to a Mastocytosis specialist. Since we live in Warwickshire (UK), our choices are Dr. Elisabeth Drewe at the Nottingham University Hospital, or Dr. Sophie Farooque/Dr. Clive Grattan at the Guy's and St Thomas' Trust in London.

Does anyone on this forum know any of these doctors and can you recommend them?

Hi Michel

I saw Dr Grattan at Guys two weeks ago and he is very good and considered the most knowledgeable in the UK. You can also see him at the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital which might be closer for you. He sees both private and NHS patients. I am sorry but I have not heard of the other two.

Hope that helps

Anne

I believe that we have seen Dr Grattan's name on this forum a lot. I will check with one of my forum advisors and get back to you to confirm.

I have my first appointment at the allergy department of uclh in London next week. I'll let you know if they are very helpful.

Thanks Guys, much appreciated! Good to know that Dr. Grattan also has consultations in Norwich.
