Hi Matt

I can highly recommend the team at St George's Hospital in Tooting, London (Prof Mary Robertson was there but only does very few appointments now, also Dr Jeremy Stern and Dr Helen Simmons). I asked my GP to refer us there in Feb after our local paeds (we're in Hampshire) gave too high a dose of clonidine to my 5 year old son who has severe TS and resulted in a week in paediatric intensive care.

The team at St G's have been incredibly helpful and useful in many ways (including providing our local paediatricians with correct/factual information about TS and the symptoms and problems seen with it and the ways to help those with the condition).

Good luck.

Laura
