Dr Richard Fry is a thought leader who fully integrates psychiatry with nutrition and functional medicine. This dual approach creates a pathway to enhance child development, and he finds answers to mental health challenges which so many parents strive to understand. I wish we had more gems like Richard working in the UK.

Lucinda Miller, Clinical lead of NatureDoc

Thanks Dr Fry, you did not give up on J as so many professionals have done in the past – now that is why we all do what we do!

Isabella

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.

Parents of Darcie

Our son is really flourishing having found the early years of nursery and school tricky at times – now a teenager, he is transformed and is able to access all areas of his learning and school life in a wonderfully positive way and we couldn’t be happier or more proud! Thank you Dr Fry for all of your support so far!

Parents of Theo

Our experience with Dr Fry and his team has been nothing short of transformative for our family. 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.

Parent

Finally a doctor who works on healing the body with tests and supplements. 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.

Parent

We began working with Dr Fry as our son had initially been diagnosed with ADHD via CAMHS, but we felt this wasn’t the whole picture and wanted expert advice. We worked with Dr Fry and the team for over a year, taking a holistic approach to our son’s care, and allowing us to develop a much deeper understanding of his needs and treatment options. I’m pleased to say that this is the best decision we could have taken.

Parents of Isaac

It was a world away from our previous experience, and Dr Fry was so good with Eliza…the cat and dog pics were definitely a winner 😊 So thank you for passing on my concerns. Please do pass on my thanks to Dr Fry for immediately dealing with our worries as it relaxed us all, which as you can imagine, was very important.

Parents of Eliza

Dr Fry is great at his job, he is knowledgeable and helpful. His holistic approach is accurate and was welcomed by our family.

Parent

Your staff were heartwarming and lovely on the phone. Thank you!

Malou

I felt like Dr Fry saved my son (and I) from a complete melt down just before his GCSE’s.

Parent

Dr Fry has been treating my daughter for the past two years and his care has been life changing for her I cannot recommend him and his team enough.

Parent

We were in crisis and now feel in a completely different place, in large part due to the support and care of Dr Fry and his team. I would describe him as a holistic practitioner who isn’t just looking to medicate, but wants to achieve long term positive results for the patient and family.

Parent

Thanks also for the report, always such a lovely, helpful letter and so prompt. Plus just wanted to add, we always feel better after chatting with Dr Fry. He’s very kind to us, plus he’s actually always right.
