Dr Helen and team are simply amazing!Our son has multiple IGE allergies (milk, egg, wheat, soya, peanut, pea, all legumes) and I thank our lucky stars we found the team. We feel so supported, welcomed and truely like we are doing the best by him.If you could see the state he was in at 7months (daily reactions, lots symptoms, uncontrolled eczema, struggling to wean - poorly and very unhappy baby) vs 1year (eczema and allergies generally very well controlled and able to get a huge amount of variety into his diet as he is no longer reacting to everything) - all thanks to Dr Helen and team.If you have any doubts, I hope you read this review and go for it as they have been life changing for us. Highly, highly recommend.The Brunning Family

Working with Dr Helen has been life changing for my baby's eczema and allergies. Her and her team are wonderfully lovely too.

1732912935

The Milk Allergy Course, especially the Module explaining the Milk Ladder is just what I needed to answer all the questions that I had before embarking on the journey of introducing milk into my little one's diet. Thanks for all the effort and information that you have put into it!

A very personal service - Helen is very friendly and really listens. The appointment provided ample time for questions which were answered fully with discussion around current evidence base. I liked the fact that my skin was not looked at in isolation but reviewed considering possible allergies. This is the beauty of this clinic where dermatology and any associated respiratory conditions and allergies are considered in a holistic manner.Many thanks

1729518658

I would thoroughly recommend a consultation with Dr Helen for anyone concerned about allergies. Dr Helen is a wonderful, compassionate doctor who listened completely to everything I said and provided lots of helpful advice. I left feeling reassured and in a much better position to navigate the world of allergies.

1728397437

Dr Helen and her team were fantastic every step of the way. She explained everything so clearly and gave us so much time to ask questions and to make sure we understood everything clearly. The nurses that we met were also so friendly and reassuring and made us feel in very safe hands. The communication between us and the clinicians was always excellent.I am so thankful that we found Dr Helen as she and her team have made a huge difference to our son’s (and our) life. We are so incredibly grateful to them all for their reassurance and explanations and ultimately for the treatment that they have been able to provide for him.

1728393217

Dr Helen has been very supportive in our daughters food allergy. Lots of support and guidance both online and in person at our recent food challenge. Dr Helen and the staff are very caring and supportive even in non allergy related questions I have had. Highly recommended.

1727975826

Dr Helen and the team were amazing in helping to treat my daughter for her peanut allergy through OIT. Would highly recommend!

1727614768

Dr Helen is so knowledgeable with allergies. I also feel with Dr Helen being an allergy mum herself she understands.

1727596419

Helens private allergy clinic has been amazing! She has provided brilliant tailored advice, and wrap around support in the form of a facebook page. She's revolutionising the delivery of private health care, making it affordable and accessible and it's clear she's making a real difference to people's lives.

Dr. Helen was so helpful and knowledgeable and very kind and understanding of my situation. I wish I had made an appointment sooner.

1725442235

After years of trying to guess all our daughters allergy triggers we finally got some answers through the allergy testing service provided. Excellent service and allergy advice.

1725277169

I can't praise Helen enough, she's been absolutely brilliant not just with our daughter but also with both myself and my wife.Helen offers a truly professional service and we've all been made at ease throughout the Oral Immunotherapy journey we started recently.We are so happy we found Helen and I would recommend her services to anyone who's experiencing anything to do with allergies.

1725008625

Excellent care once again and a very knowledgable doctor both for allergy and as a GP. Highly recommend!

1724008582

Dr Helen helps with every aspect of dealing with allergies and as a parent of an infant with a fast acting dairy allergy she has helped me navigate so much. I cannot thank her and her team enough, we have only been with them a short time and I already feel so empowered and supported in my decision making and parenting. Thank you

Dominic Taborda

1723215913

Professional from start to finish, very knowledgeable and answered all my concerns.From doing the IgE home allergen test, results were back within 1 day. Also furthering was seen within the week booking a skin prick test. I Would recommend using Dr Helen Allergy’s service to anyone looking for support and answers regarding their or your child’s allergies.

1720813243

Inspiring! For a holistic consideration, we feel Dr Helen reached a level far beyond the compartmentalised NHS. We now feel the cause and not just the symptoms are being addressed.

1720465117

My daughter has been seeing Dr Helen for multiple allergies for a few years . Her vast amount of knowledge regarding allergies is astounding . She goes into every avenue to detect the triggers and instils hope and confidence to parents . The blood tests are extensive and the results came back within less than 48 hours .Thank you Dr Helen , keep up the great work you do .

1719066429

Dr Helen is truly brilliant at what she does.She has helped guide, treat and support me with my daughter on her eczema and allergy journey. We would never have gotten where we are today with her skin if it wasn’t for Helen’s knowledge and help.A doctor that truly understands, sympathises and constantly stays up to date with her knowledge! She is worth her weight in gold.Her membership is absolutely fantastic and has been worth every penny for all the fantastic extras it provides, with allergy specialists right on the end of the keyboard. Would highly recommend!

1718749613

I took my teenager daughter to see Dr Helen recently, for her suspected allergic symptoms. Dr Helen was extremely friendly and kind, making my daughter feel less anxious. Her years of experience were clearly evident throughout the consultation. The treatment plan was explicit and easy to follow, making us feel reassured. I cannot recommend Dr Helen highly enough.

1718613726

From the moment I contacted Dr Helen the experience has been second to none. We are over in Ireland and unfortunately OIT is not available here. Dr Helen spoke to us in depth about the process, I had a list of questions wrote out but without even asking Dr Helen had them answered. A brilliant doctor who is so knowledgeable, empathetic and understanding.I am naturally a very anxious person and talking to Dr Helen has helped massively. We look forward to the next few months and the journey that comes with OIT.

Gabrielle Bowie

Dr Helen was nothing short of amazing. She listened with patience, she understood with absolutely no judgement and most of all she gave me the answers and my baby the voice that she so desperately needed. I left the appointment with 100% trust in her advice, diagnosis and plan going forward which I rarely do with any health professionals due to the journey we have had. She truly is the expert in her field and I would trust no one else. The accessibility in terms of information, advice and guidance even after the appointment is incredible and it is clear Dr Helen recognises the need for ongoing support, support which unfortunately the NHS GPS just cannot or are not qualified enough to give. Thank you Dr Helen, I am truly grateful to you and could not have hoped for a better experience.

1717874013

Dr Helen has been an amazing support for me and my daughter remotely since I came across her free facebook page, and now her membership.She has given me not only the knowledge but also the confidence to make sure we got AAI's for my little one, but equally successfully introduce peanuts!Just wish she was closer for a face-to-face!

1717093489

Excellent service from Helen - to have the peace of mind to help me find a formula for my allergy baby was an absolute life line when we were really struggling. Thank you so much

1715438479

Dr Helen is a brilliant doctor. Kind, compassionate and very knowledgeable. It is invaluable that she is also a practising GP and knows the workings of the NHS. Very happy to recommend.

1714975406

I joined Dr Helen’s Facebook members group, and instantly felt reassured. It’s such a useful resource knowing you can access accurate personalised information when you need it. We had our 1-2-1 with Dr Helen where she provided some really useful insights and suggestions. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Helen or the group!

1714826877

Dr Helen has supported us through Oral Immune Therapy (Palforzia) for our sons peanut allergy.She had been amazing throughout, so generous with her time and expertise.Our son is sometimes pretty anxious but we quickly realised this would not be the case with Helen, she immediately put him at ease.We are so grateful for the opportunity to have the treatment and change his life.We are all able to be more relaxed knowing how much safe he now is and the risk of anaphylaxis is greatly reduced

naomi Richardson

1713909788

This is the second time I've had a telephone consultation with Dr Helen. She is very knowledge on her subject and on both occasions very generous with her time and very accomodating in when we scheduled the appointment. She was more knowledgeable than my own GP who had misdiagnosed my daughter as not anaphylactic and further NHS tests confirmed that what Dr Helen had said was entirely accurate and correct. She also explained things better than at an NHS allergy clinic my children had been referred to. I had also done some allergy testing in my previous appointment for myself in which she sent the results through within 24 hours which was amazing. I found her to be warm, empathetic and knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

I joined Dr Helens Facebook group and had a 121 with her. She was amazing with great advice and gave us a bit of a plan to support my sons allergies. The Facebook group is brilliant, Dr Helen always responds to questions and provides so much support to all of the members. Her knowledge, kindness and compassion is unrivalled from medical professionals

I have recently signed up for the subscription service with Dr Helen Allergy and I only have good things to say about her and the whole service provided. We had our 1-1 within a few days of me signing up and although it should have been 15 mins, she definitely gave me more of her time to go over both my children's history and plan going forward. I have never understood their conditions (eczema and allergies) as well as I do since signing up for Dr Helens help.All the experts within the group are so helpful and quick to respond to any questions. I would say the biggest thing for me is I feel validated, whilst giving useful, practical advice Dr Helen is also very compassionate to the stress of being a parent to children with allergies.My only regret is that I didn't find this service sooner!

I joined Membership with Dr Helen Allergy on Facebook because I was struggling with weaning my baby who seemed to be reacting to all manner of foods (non IGE symptoms). I was finding it really stressful and didn’t have any support as NHS appointment wasn’t for several months. I had seen Dr Helen recommended in other allergy Facebook groups but was sceptical at first about joining a membership group on Facebook. However, I wish I had found her when I went though all of this with my first baby! She is so knowledgeable and supportive and actually listens to you and doesn’t make you feel like you are just a neurotic mother. She answers your questions really quickly, it’s like having an allergy consultant in your pocket! Would recommend to anyone, worth every penny (and actually very reasonable price as you can pay monthly). There is also heaps of dietician advice and eczema info which has been invaluable. I couldn’t have got my son’s eczema under control without it. Thank you Helen.

1710004558

If you’re looking for advice and support for allergies and/or eczema, then look no further!! I wish I had discovered Dr Helen a long time ago. We’re not local to her but had a fantastic virtual consultation with such helpful advice on next steps in our son’s allergy and eczema journey. Dr Helen is so knowledgable and made us feel listened to and understood. It can be a lonely and overwhelming journey and I would highly recommend consultation with her to guide you on your journey. I have joined Dr Helen’s membership group on Facebook and it’s the best thing I ever did for regular advice and support.

1709982122

I brought my 4 year old daughter to see Dr Helen and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Dr Helen listened to our problems carefully and she gave us lots of guidance, information and reassurance. She has a very friendly and gentle approach and completely put my daughter at ease for when she did the tests. This is an excellent clinic and anyone with allergy issues should go here. Thank you very much!

I feel so lucky to have found Dr Helen. She is a wealth of knowledge to help navigate the allergy World. I wish I'd found her sooner!

1707824495

I visited Dr Helen after searching on the internet for an allergy specialist, after realizing Dr Helen was also a GP I knew she was the lady I had to see. After a long time of feeling quite unwell Dr Helen went through all my symptoms and conducted the allergy test. Within a couple of days I had a thorough report and my results were back. My whole experience form start to finish was great. I would definitely recommend Dr Helen :)

1707764089

The access to experts and support has changed our lives navigating food allergies with my youngest child. I’m not sure how I’d cope without it!

1707657053

Being a first time parent,its stressful.Being a first time parent of a child with allergies..its terrifying.I was at a breaking point when i found Dr Helen grup and once i joined the membership,i didnt felt so scared and lonely anymore.The care and compassion she offer each and every parent that goes thru this hard journey is beyond wordsI m and i will be forever grateful for the amazing support and kindness she always offered us thru this journey and we are getting great progress thanks to her!

1707569830

Really pleased with the 1:1 and support from Dr Helen. Followed her advice and my son’s eczema has cleared up completely. She really took her time and listened.

1707522307

When my son was diagnosed with a milk allergy I felt helpless and filled with anxiety. I felt alone and at times would let worry consume me. Not knowing where to turn to get the help we needed was the hardest part and I am so grateful to have found Dr Helen. With her help we were able to identify the cause of my son's reaction, treat it and make a plan for the future. Finally I saw some hope when I was feeling quite lost. Helen has given us the confidence to introduce foods which worried us and provided support every step of the way. It truly feels she is invested in our son’s wellbeing.By becoming a member of Dr Helen's allergy group I have gained so much knowledge about allergies ; How to recognise them, how to manage them and how to live well with them! Connecting with other allergy parents has provided a sense of community and comfort.I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Helen to any parent.Sonia Nagpal

I visited Dr Helen at The Sandbanks Clinic in December 2023.She discussed my issues with me in detail and found out how I have been dealing with them thus far.She carried out allergy testing there and then and explained the process and results very clearly.I was given a private prescription for an ointment which has been an absolute miracle. No more sore and swollen eyelids, and I can now use make-up and hair products without fear of repercussions.I still avoid perfume in all products, but that is not difficult to do these days.I also take an antihistamine tablet each day, and I don't worry so much that this is the wrong thing to do.I can't think why I didn't contact Dr Helen years ago, but I am very glad I searched for 'Allergy Testing' late one December evening last year.I am all sorted now but will continue to read the regular communications from Dr Helen. I thank her very much for her knowledge, her empathy and the lovely way she sorted out my skin problems.

1706811942

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.

Victoria Morgan

1705698592

We feel so grateful to have found Dr Helen’s membership. A place to learn genuine allergy information, feel more confident about the challenges we are facing with our son’s peanut allergy and to get clarification on so many unanswered questions. Dr Helen has an incredibly warm and calm nature and articulates information in a very understandable and positive way. Communication throughout the membership is always so friendly and relatable and it’s refreshing to be part of something where people genuinely care and want to help. It’s priceless to have access to this knowledge, support and community. Thank you all so much!

I FELT fortunate when i discovered Dr Helen and was listened to at my consultation. I am feeling reassured that we will get the bottom of my issues. HIGHLY recommend Dr Helen to anyone who may be in need of guidance or advice.

Alexandra Meadow

We had a very positive experience with Dr Helen. My 3 year old was made to feel very at ease and we were very reassured by her assessment.

1704234165

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.

1704185918

I came to Dr Helen after a long stint of a really bad eczema flare that. She was absolutely amazing and very detailed in her enquiries. We looked at all routes and what was great is that she broke down all the explanations and reasonings behind things. I left after my one appointment with a great cream schedule and a lot better understanding of my eczema and the causes. She answered any questions I had in general and knows her stuff. Would definitely recommend and better than a GP!

1701249990

Dr Helen is kind, empathetic, and extremely knowledgeable. On both occasions that I have met with her, I have come away feeling relieved and hopeful. She makes you feel that you are not alone, in what can sometimes feel like a worrying and isolating time. A truly amazing person who has improved our family life- we feel much better equipped to navigate our little one's allergies. Honestly cannot recommend highly enough. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dr. Helen has been so helpful in finding a way forward with my allergy type symptoms. I needed some answers before I went on a remote walking holiday and Dr. Helen arranged allergy testing quickly and I had a follow up appointment as soon as I got the results with really helpful advice and a treatment plan. Dr. Helen is very easy to talk to and is an excellent listener. I am so grateful for all the help she has given me and highly recommend her.

1699910084

I was recommended by another school mum when my baby's eczema was really bad. It has been great support with Dr Helen via the facebook group and I have now joined the eczema course and now the membership which gives me 1-to-1 telephone/video consultation monthly. She is very knowledgable on eczema and allergy. I found it was very useful and valued for money as we paid around £2xx for a private consultation with dermatology consultant.
