Drfry Avis 

Dr Fry and his team have been very helpful with our son. Dr Fry was keen to look into diet and non medical supplements with hair and blood tests to check vitamin and other nutritional deficiencies before eventually trying medication. Our son has since come off the medication at the age of 14 and is doing well. He has benefited from Dr Fry’s help and advice and now has more mechanisms to cope with his adhd and processing issues. Thank you.

I have been incredibly impressed by Dr Fry and his team. He has been so thorough, ensuring that no stone has been left unturned in finding the right course of treatment for my son. There has been a massive improvement, not only in terms of my son's concentration and ability to focus at school, but also in his entire wellbeing. There is no doubt that he is now a calmer, happier and more hopeful little boy. It is wonderful to see and I cannot recommend Dr Fry's holistic approach enough. I am also grateful to the incredibly helpful admin team, who respond so quickly to emails and are always on-hand to offer support.

In October 2024 we were in a terrifying and extremely difficult place with our dear son - then aged 15. We were recommended Dr Fry and what appealed most is his approach to look at the whole child - including a raft of tests that some might consider "woowoo"! Dr Fry has been patient, and pragmatic - both with our son and me, a highly distraught and anxious Mother!
Dr Fry diagnosed our son (who is also autistic and has sensory processing disorder) with chronic teenage OCD, caused by extreme anxiety. Through both medication and supplements, alongside therapy with a good psychologist, we are now at a point where we feel we have our child back. He got through his GCSEs (something that was in doubt at one point) with great grades and is now doing his A levels at College and is thriving. Dr Fry also recommended we take up an opportunity for our son to travel solo to America to visit family - which he did for two weeks - again, hard to imagine that happening when we first met Dr Fry.
Tracey and the rest of the administrative team are brilliant - responsive, caring and totally on the ball, which is so helpful when you are already stressed to the hilt with a sick child!
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend :-)

Caring, responsive and well informed team

We were recommended Dr fry and his team this time last year.
Our daughter was in a very dark place with severe contamination OCD and anxiety caused by Pans/Pandas. She was unable to move from a chair, was terrified to breathe and couldn't be near anyone.
We as parents were desperate for help.
Dr Fry helped us navigate this awful time.His functional approach, looking at the whole child's wellbeing, not just mental health was very refreshing.
Through medication, supplements and being referred to his wonderful colleague Dr Damaris Stuart William for psychological therapy she slowly started to improve.
Dr fry and his lovely admin team, particularly Tracey supported us,and continue to support us through this journey.They fielded many desperate phone calls and emails from me as we struggled to cope.
Amazingly.....here we are a year later, our daughter is virtually OCD free, at college doing A levels,out with her friends ,and really living her life again! She's even decided to study medicine and possibly psychiatry!!
None of this would have been possible without Dr fry and all of his team. And we will be forever grateful .

We specifically chose Dr Fry because he is able to offer a holistic approach to treatment as well as conventional/medical when needed. Dr Fry believes in getting to the root of what may be causing a child's difficulties and this approach really appealed to us, as it is sadly quite difficult to find a Psychiatrist who practices, and believes in, functional medicine alongside conventional. Dr Fry has supported us with our daughter's diagnosis of PANS/PANDAS - this has included support with treatment as well as support in writing letters to school and other professionals, both of which have been invaluable. The admin team are also very efficient and respond very quickly to emails, which we have appreciated.

Dr Fry gave us an emergency appointment when we were in crisis with our daughter who was suffering from severe OCD. That appointment was simply life changing. Dr Fry's holistic approach rather than just administering drugs was fantastic and his pragmastism was so helpful at a time when our emotions were running high. His admin team were also exceptional, responding quickly to emails and they also helped us enormously, enabling us to navigate a very challenging time with compassion and support.

Dr Fry (and his wonderful team) offered us very good support while undergoing a diagnosis with our son. Finally a doctor who works on healing the body with tests and supplements (while being very aware of the expense of this process), which he understands and interprets for you.
He did this, alongside diagnosing our son while taking the time to follow up when things were not working. This was not a one and done job. The hidden gemstones are the team behind Dr Fry. Tracey and Hannah manage the appointments, prescriptions and general panics when it is not working out. They are efficient, empathic and want to help outside of your time with Dr Fry. I have found that to be an important additional support in this part our journey. Thank you all!

Our experience with Dr Fry and his team has been nothing short of transformative for our family.
What sets his practice apart first is his holistic approach which intends to heal, rather than manage symptoms. The crisis we had been experiencing for over 4 years was due both to physical and mental elements, which he figured out, and without this perspective, we would not have been able to overcome the difficulties our daughter was facing. Of course to fully heal will take longer, but in two short months, our daughter has improved beyond hopes from actually treating physical symptoms everyone else had diagnosed as a consequence of low mood and anxiety - but it was the other way around.
Second is the team of dedicated experts he has assembled and brings in following a comprehensive assessment. Each specialist has contributed unique insights and expertise in a care plan tailored specifically for our daughter’s needs.
From therapists to support staff, everyone played a vital role in our family's journey. Here the admin team deserves a special mention for their kindness and efficiency. They handled appointments, queries, and any concerns we had promptly, with professionalism and warmth, making us feel supported and cared about; a first in all our years of dealing with healthcare institutions.
We are profoundly grateful for the care our daughter has received; thankful to have found Dr Fry and his team; and feel his should be the mainstream approach to adolescent mental health.

I had a really positive experience of meeting with Dr Fry for my two son's individual neurodiversity assessments. (One - ADHD and One - ASD/PDA)
He was kind and considerate in his approach and really took the time to understand everything. Thanks to him the children are able to have a better understanding of themselves and I am able to send the diagnostic reports to their schools, and for one of my sons, tie it into their EHCP. This will be invaluable in setting them both up for the future and ensuring their individual needs are met and they get the right support to help them thrive.
As an added bonus the admin team that work for Dr Fry are really responsive and helpful both over the phone and email, so if you are unsure or have questions, don't be worried about contacting them - they will help! Thanks to the whole team!

Dr Fry is excellent. Supportive, diligent, holistic and kind. I couldn’t be more grateful for his support and care.

Dr Fry had a good understanding of my son's needs and was responsive to our concerns.

Dr Fry was able to definitively diagnose our daughter which has been so helpful. He also supported with identifying the right psychologist to support. We have seen a huge amount of progress since the diagnosis.

Dr Fry has done wonders with our 15 year old daughter who we had no inkling she had ASD until she totally unravelled in year 10. With Dr Fry’s expertise and understanding, my daughter is doing so much better 6 months on and still under his care and guidance.

Dr Fry and his team have given my daughter the most incredible care. We first met with Dr Fry when my daughter was 13, she was crippled with panic attacks and missing a lot of school, struggling with depression and generally feeling like life was very difficult. Following Dr Fry’s treatment protocol the difference is incredible, she is now thriving, on target to get great grades in her GCSE, having a full social life and managing a part time job 2 hours a week as well as hobbies. Dr Fry looks at the whole child and goes into great detail with providing a regimen of supplements. His team are wonderful and the support and communication they provide means that someone is always there to answer emails and help with appointments. I cannot recommend Dr Fry and his team enough.

Dr. Fry is great at his job, he is knowledgeable and helpful. His holistic approach is accurate and was welcomed by our family.
Dr Fry had helped two of my children and enabled us to get the help they needed for a better future.
Receiving help from Dr Fry as a very stressed parent was a relief, it changed our lives and helped us move forward quickly and efficiently.

Dr Fry is very knowledgable and experienced and uses a holistic view, which is very refreshing. He has been very helpful for both of our children.

Dr. Fry is not only an experienced child psychiatrist, but also an exceptional one who integrates functional medicine and nutrition with traditional psychiatry, offering a truly holistic approach to mental health. His comprehensive assessment process stood out—he took the time to thoroughly understand each aspect of my child's well-being, leaving no stone unturned including undertaking a range of tests. Dr. Fry’s depth of knowledge is clearly evident, and his ability to connect the dots across different domains of care is invaluable. After years of my eldest son seeing various therapists, nutritionists, and another psychiatrist who each operated within their own silos, it was refreshing to have someone like Dr. Fry who rather than assesses and labels actually takes a whole body approach across several disciplines, developing a cohesive and thoughtful treatment plan.

Though we are still at the beginning of the treatment process, I feel quietly confident that, with the extensive information Dr. Fry has already gathered and shared, we are finally on the right path. His attention to detail and dedication to finding the best solutions for my son have been so reassuring that I have now also started my middle son under his care.

Additionally, his team is responsive and helpful, always quick to follow up on any questions or concerns, further enhancing the quality of care we’ve experienced.

In March 2023 our son's behaviour at school and home detiorated out of recognition almost over night. He became very agitated, unhappy, angry and particularly anxious. We knew he had had a Streptococcal infection in 2020 but blood tests showed that he had had a Strep A infection in early March. Following on from lots of tests our son was diagnosed with PANS/PANDAS and antibiotics were given. The situation was further agrivated by another dose of Strep A in May and our son really struggled. We had followed the nutritional advice of Dr Fry with supplements and there was a mild improvement over the summer holidays. Dr Fry then did further tests which resulted in a diagnosis of chronic mould allergies. This made the inflammation caused by the infections worse and the advice was to remove the tonsils and lots of supplements. It was a very long process to get where we were and Dr Fry was extremely knowledgable. It was a very holistic approach and not necessarily one a GP would have followed. Without Dr Fry's knowledge, particuarly with the mould, our son would have taken a much longer period to recover. In December it was suggested that our son should take medication to support him at school. This helped hugely and having removed the mould from our house Dr Fry was happy to prescribe other medication to remove the mould from our son's system. It has been a very long journey but in May he sat his GCSE's, which at times we were unsure he should have been doing. He has done very well and despite missing a great deal of school he can be very proud of himself. Without the help, advice and support of Dr Fry we would not have found ourselves in a much calmer and happier environment.
