Dr Helen Allergy Reviews 

I approached Dr Helen Allergy for reassurance due to anxiety around eating Peanut, which I had become worried about due to confusing experiences/testing when I was younger that had resulted in me being unsure whether I was truly allergic or mildly allergic and therefore avoiding peanut unnecessarily, causing myself anxiety, inconvenience and embarrassment in various situations. Dr Helen was really understanding and took my concerns seriously, and came up with a plan to help determine my sensitivity to peanut and safely help me overcome my anxiety eating it - once reassured that it was indeed not a true allergy I was experiencing. I can now eat in restaurants and be cooked for without worry, knowing exactly where I stand with allergens and it is a big relief. I am really grateful for her help with this, having been dissatisfied with previous attempts to do this falling foul to pseudoscientific Vega testing. She was really kind and lovely to talk with during the process and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who has allergy concerns.

I contacted Dr Helen as I was concerned I was developing a nut allergy. I wanted to be sure either way and have confirmation of allergies I had already been diagnosed with by a gp. I had some blood tests, a full consultation and a skin test to discover I wasn't allergic to any foods, but had other environmental triggered allergies. Very useful to finally find out after so many years what I am allergic to and what I am not. Now I don't have to worry about what I eat and I have a plan to manage the allergies I do have. It's good and a relief to finally have some answers.

Great communication throughout and Dr Helen was friendly, professional, helpful and very knowledgeble. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for more information on allergies they may have.

Genuine interest in my son's allergies backed up by a wealth of knowledge and personal experience. Thank you Dr Helen for providing much-needed medical advice for my son's nut allergies in a world where we have little face-to-face back-and-forth with health specialists in this area. We were able to discuss my son's blood test and skin tests results and ask questions without feeling rushed, blown off or patronized.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Dr Helen and to know I have her guidance and expertise and that of the specialists and speakers who work alongside her - as well as the chance to be part of a community of others in a similar situation - to help me navigate the challenges of being a parent to a child with multiple allergies.

Dr Helen had reviewed my son's most recent clinical notes prior to the virtual consultation I had with her so it was an incredibly valuable session. She suggested a slightly different plan to that which my local allergy team had proposed and gave me the confidence not only to ask them to consider doing things in a different order, but also the understanding of why that might be a better plan. Dr Helen sent detailed follow up notes after the virtual consultation which I could share with my local team and they completely understood and accepted Dr Helen's suggestion and were very happy to change the plan for my son. It turned out to be absolutely the right thing to do!

Since my virtual consultation I've asked Dr Helen a couple of questions, all of which she has answered incredibly quickly and thoroughly in her very warm and friendly way. My local specialist allergy nurse is great, but the membership package with Dr Helen is hugely reassuring and valuable and I would wholeheartedly encourage anyone who had any questions or concerns about allergies to join.

We are very pleased with our consultation with Dr Helen. She listened and took our concerns seriously. Was able to answer all questions and offered a sound advice. Highly recommended. The membership group is a mein of knowledge.

I had allergy type symptoms that were getting progressively worse. After an internet search for a good allergist I found Dr. Helen, and she has been superb at getting to the likely source of my issues and suggesting a way forward with treatment. Tests have been arranged quickly and nothing has been too much trouble.Dr. Helen is an excellent listener and very good at explaining things. I can't recommend her highly enough and am so so grateful for the help I have had, Biggest Thank yous!!!!

I feel so supported by Dr Helen and her team. I have learned so much and feel that I always have somewhere to turn when I’m worried. She has also manged to erase the horrible feelings that you’re left with after poor treatment by the NHS. She listens and assures you that you’re not crazy, or melodramatic. She validated our feelings and really cares about her patients. Dr Helen was supportive before we joined the membership. But since then the support has been second to none. The one-to-one was more helpful than any support we’ve had for the NHS and the daily answers to questions and general Q&As are such a piece of mind! Her passion and knowledge absolutely shines through and you feel confident you are getting the most up-to-date, evidence-based information. Highly recommend!

Dr Helen really is like an angel in the flesh! She has helped me get my head around my sons allergies and given me the knowledge and confidence to move forward with them. No ask is too big. She really really knows her stuff as do the rest of her team. It's like you're having a conversation with a VERY knowledgeable friend. Highly reccomend her services.

After numerous, unproductive conversations with the NHS I had become resigned to live in misery with my allergies; not knowing what was causing long periods of constant sneezing and feeling totally exhausted as my body was fighting invisible battles that most days it would invariably lose.

After 50 years of this steadily worsening pattern I decided that it was long overdue to get some expert, professional help. Dr Helen gave me a very detailed consultation and pinpointed exactly what my allergy triggers were within minutes. I can now mange these more precisely going forward, together with prescribing more effective medicine compared to the rubbish I was buying over the counter.

It has only been a short space of time but I can already breath more easily and I'm feeling extremely confident in the plan Dr Helen has developed for me. I had completely forgotten what it felt like to breath normally and the toll that must have been taking on my energy levels and day-to-day life. It has been incredible and I can't thank Dr Helen enough for her expert knowledge and compassion; she is a real credit to her profession.

Absolutely brilliant - loving the membership, a real life line.
Amazing expert speakers, knowledge is power as they say and this group certainly gives me that. The 1:1 call with Dr Helen was an absolutely incredible bonus - I can not recommend this membership enough. Thank you Dr Helen for caring, supporting and guiding us all through the incredibly hard journey of having children with allergies. X

We wanted to share our experience that we have had with Dr Helen and her team. We were feeling a little lost with my daughters allergies and didn’t really feel like we had much of a plan moving forward. We signed up to the monthly membership and got more out of the included 15minute phone call than we had from all our appointments put together in the NHS. We felt really listened to and each allergy was discussed and a plan made for each one. We were advised it might be a good idea to have SPT due to the uncertainty around one of my daughters allergies. We saw Odette in the clinic for these, and she was absolutely wonderful. She took her time and made us feel so at ease. She then gave us a plan based on her results. It’s so reassuring to know that we have a handful of experts in our pocket and can ask a question and get such a quick response. I think if you’re struggling with allergies or need some guidance then look no further!

I found Dr Helen on the recommendation from my NCT teacher and she has changed my little baby boys outlook. With simple hints and tips the NHS GP’s are unaware of, she took time to listen, look and write everything down that was discussed and a copy sent to my GP. I look forward to seeing my baby gain weight as he should be. Highly recommend Dr Helen thank you.

My 22 month old son has suffered with terrible eczema basically since birth, I've been back and forth with the doctors, numerous phone calls and appointments, given cream after cream. Absolutely no changes what so ever. He would scratch his skin so bad that it would bleed really bad, I could never have his skin exposed. Then I got in touch with Dr Helen and I honestly can't believe what his skin looks like now, after day 1 of the ointment she provided, it made so much difference. His skin is so soft and completely different now. We've still got a bit of a way to go in order to stop using certain creams etc but Dr Helen is always there to give advice and I honestly can't thank her enough. I hated seeing my son in pain and not being able to help. Dr Helen is so kind and caring and actually wants to help rather than just having to help. Thank you!!!!

I can honestly say that finding Dr Helen has been life changing for me as an allergy mum. Dealing with my son’s multiple food and environmental allergies felt overwhelming and scary but the expert advice, personal care and support received has made it all seem manageable at last. I had never come out of an allergy appointment feeling positive until meeting with Dr Helen.

I found Dr Helen through her Facebook page and decided to book an appointment and allergy tests with her for my son. The whole appointment from booking, to the appointment itself, was a smooth process. I left with results and a plan. Dr Helen is very knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions I had. She was very friendly and I felt heard. I have recommended her to several people and will continue to do so.
Thank you Dr Helen!

Dr Helen is very approachable and incredibly knowledgeable. She quickly diagnosed my skin condition, explained it and possible treatment options, gave me written information, sign posted me to websites and did not do any allergy testing which would have incurred additional cost , as this was not necessary. Dr Helen also went the extra mile to discuss some other blood results and advised me accordingly. Excellent consultation. Thank you Dr Helen.

I've had the pleasure of visiting Dr. Helen multiple times, and I must say, her professionalism, friendliness, passion and thoroughness consistently exceed my expectations. She never rushes the appointments and genuinely seeks to understand her clients' challenges, endeavouring to find the most suitable solutions. If it were possible to award more than five stars, I would do so without hesitation. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Helen without reservation.

I fight for long time with my hands skin condition and I waited and insisted with my GP. to be seen by a dermatologist and 2 years later my GP. didn't help much to resolve the problem....I never think about to go private because I was scared about the cost... And I'm the most happy person in the world because I done it and I'm very grateful that I meet Dr.Helen🙏 I'm very sorry that I didn't done the consultation earlier.She was fantastic! The consultation and the allergy test she done give me back the hope and confidence that I can resolve my condition. Dr.Helen was very inspiring and definitely is the person will not give up on you!! So definitely I recommend it !!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ People your health worth it!

Dr Helen is compassionate, approachable and extremely knowledgeable. We had an online private consultation with her for our daughter's shellfish allergy, as unfortunately we left our NHS test feeling rushed and confused. She took the time to listen to our questions and concerns, and we finished the consultation feeling heard, understood and armed with the knowledge on how to manage our daughter's allergy. We are also part of Dr Helen's Allergy Support Membership on Facebook, where we've had help with allergies and our daughter's eczema and I have never met such a committed doctor. Dr Helen's knowledge and expertise is exceptional and I would recommend to anyone.

We were so happy with our recent experience with Dr Helen. She is a lovely lady who is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about allergies and eczema, drawing on both her personal experience and evidence based clinical knowledge. Booking in, pre-appointment forms and payments were very easy, no issues. The clinic setting was lovely, Helen was super welcoming as was her husband and there were plenty of fun toys for our child to play with during the appointment to keep them occupied. Allergy testing was painless. We came away with a detailed plan and a lot of really helpful advice. We are very happy with the service we received and would 100% recommend Dr Helen Allergy!
