I have worked over years to aid that by creating a service that is open, seamlessly integrates both mental and physical healthcare keeping in mind that psychiatry is unique.

Mr Andrew Allen, Rugby
I’d highly recommend Oaktree. I’ve had a really good experience with Dr Meetu Singh and their reception staff who have been very helpful and responsive.
Ms. Isabelle M, Birmingham
Given how challenging it can be to find the right place to get help with mental health, Oaktree has been a breath of fresh air.
Without this service I would have had to wait possibly years before reaching the place I’m at today. Enormous credit to Dr Singh, who is a highly professional, knowledgable, and understanding psychiatrist.
The Oaktree Connect admin team are also extremely helpful, always going above and beyond to ensure things run smoothly.
I would definitely recommend Oaktree Connect to anyone seeking a private psychiatry service.
Dr Singh and the team are very professional and I hugely valued my ADHD diagnosis which has been life changing for me. I would highly recommend 🙂
Rachel Cooper, Walsall
Dr Singh assessed my ADHD privately mid March. Something I’ve suffered with life long , I needed medication and guidance something I could not get quickly through the NHS , within 2 weeks of my 1st appointment and meeting all medical requirements , I was medicated on Methylphenidate, I have been reviewed 2 weeks later & in my consultation I was happy to report the medication Dr Singh had prescribed had changed my life in the best way possible , I’m a functioning person again now back to mental state I never thought possible & enjoying living again , Dr Singh is now setting up a joint care plan between Oaktree and my GP , I could not be happier with the speediness and attentiveness, I look forward to what more life will offer me now I’m well again , thank you x
After a life of feeling like a square peg in a round hole? thanks to Dr Singh and her fabulous team – I finally now understand why. Dr Singhs intervention and support has been life changing for me and I cannot thank her and the team enough. I would 100% recommend Dr Singh and Oaktree Connect for the fabulous level of services offered. THANKYOU
