Root Cause Clinical Avis 

I have been speaking to Wil and Victoria from Root Cause Clinical since late 2024 and after a detailed series of assessments and tests they have put in place a treatment plan for my hair loss. Almost 4 months in and I am delighted to report that the dramatic shedding has stopped. My hairdresser can see new growth so we are waiting to see if this thickens my hair.

The service I have received from Wil and Victoria, and Belinda when I went for a scalp scan, has been excellent. They take time to listen to you, explore all options and take into consideration other health issues, so I have always felt heard.

If you have a hair loss problem then I highly recommend the Root Cause Clinical team.

I was anxious about my appointment with Root Cause Clinical but Wil put me at ease immediately. After the very thorough consultation, I left feeling reassured and encouraged about the treatment Wil suggested. I would definitely recommend Root Cause Clinical for anyone experiencing hair loss problems.

I highly recommend Root Cause Clinical. I felt this whole experience put my anxiety at ease. Wil went through my experience with hair loss and provided non judgemental feedback as well as put perspective to my experiences. I shall be returning to evaluate my progress.

If you are considering, do it! I was on the fence about seeing someone other than a doctor after I noticed sudden bald spots on my scalp. Lisa told me everything I needed to hear. I left feeling more positive about my condition and a lot more knowledgable. This is so much more personal and even felt like therapy. I can’t thank Lisa enough for giving me my confidence back. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

After having suffered from gradual hair loss for more than a decade, and finding medical professionals being dismissive about the issue, I felt quite defeated about finding any solutions to my problem and lost about what to do next.
Finding a suitable Trichologist in London seemed an overwhelming (and expensive) path for potentially no improvement. However, after meeting Stephen (based in Saffron Walden, Essex), who was incredibly approachable and empathic speaking about hair loss, I decided to book an in-depth consultation and found it to be a bit of a revelation.

We completed an in-depth questionnaire about my current hair health, care routine and any treatments attempted previously. Stephen then looked at my scalp under a camera, which was very educational to see the issue in magnified detail and then walked me through potential next steps for a treatment plan.
It’s clear that knowledge about female hair loss and treatment options available have improved a lot in the last 10 years as there are now a variety of options to pursue (depending on the underlying cause), which at least offer the chance of improvement and I had no idea existed.
Stephen was incredibly patient and knowledgeable throughout the process, and sympathetic to how emotional an issue hair loss can be.
I am still at the start of my Trichology journey, but the whole process has offered me hope and finding the Root Cause Clinical team has been a huge factor in removing the intimidation factor of going to a Trichologist and making the process easy. Thank you!

This was my first time seeing Will and it was a great experience. He was very thorough and really detailed what was wrong with my scalp and explained in great detail how to help manage my situation. The form sent afterwards with the details is easy to follow and understand. Would highly recommend.

I was really nervous about my appointment and apprehensive, as I have tried for two years to get answers to the problems I was experiecing with my scalp. I felt other health professionals did not take the time to listen to my concerns. From the minute I met Wil, he put me at ease. He listened, as I explained my concerns and did not make me feel like I was being silly when explaining what I had experienced. Wil explained everything to me step bye step, making sure I was understanding along the way. He answered any questions I had and made me feel like no question was a silly one. It felt such a relief to get an answer and diagnosis as to what the problem is with my scalp, but also a detailed treatment plan on how to effcetively manage my symptoms. I like how Wil is patient centred and is also checking-in with me after my treatment too. I am very grateful for the support and advice Wil has provided me with. He has made a huge impact on how I now feel with a proper diagnosis. Thank you Wil!

My teenage daughter had been struggling with excessively oily hair and some hair loss for two years. The constant battle to style her hair in a way that concealed the oiliness, along with the exhausting daily wash cycle, was really taking a toll on her. No shampoo seemed to make a difference, and she was starting to lose hope.

Then she had a consultation with Wil in Edinburgh. From the moment she met him, she felt reassured that she was in capable and confident hands. Seeing her hair follicles magnified was a turning point—it helped her understand what was happening and made the problem feel less overwhelming. Wil prescribed a specific shampoo, explaining that it would take about six weeks to show results. He also checked in via email a couple of times, which meant a lot.

Like magic, we both started to notice a real change. Her hair texture improved, and she no longer needed to wash it as frequently.

I can’t thank the clinic enough. At 16, with the pressures of exams and teenage life, this treatment has given her so much hope and confidence that things can get better.

I heard of Root Cause from a dear friend and became very interested in what was on offer.
I filled in my questionnaire on line in January and was given a very prompt date and time for my phone consultation.
This was all wonderfully professional. comfortable to experience and my answers to the questionnaire were revisited , My written words were confirmed and my feedback in conversation with Lisa was clear and thorough.
I was treated with dignity and compassion and felt that I was understanding the way forward.
I have a very compromised health situation which requires me to take a lot of medication and Lisa knew exactly what to advise for my personal diagnosis. It was a unique conversation with me. and Lisa addressed all the information that I had initially given in the questionnaire.
I have information now to help deal with my individual condition and can confidently move forward to heal and repair.
Thankyou Lisa
I would highly recommend your experience.

Having been concerned about my once thick and full head of hair, becoming thinner all over, I was recommended to go to Wil at Root Cause Clinical by a friend who had similar issues. After completing a thorough and in-depth questionnaire (take the time to do this properly as it is so important for the consultation), I had an appointment to go over these details and for Wil to look microscopically at my hair.
Wil took time to explain everything he was doing, checked back with the details in the questionnaire and fully explained the options open to me. Whilst I am still deciding the best course of action for me, I would highly recommend the clinic. There are many different options available to you and, whilst I only had the initial investigation, I was impressed with how professionally everything was handled, and feel confident that they have helped me find a solution to resolve the issues with my hair.

I went into my appointment feeling really worried and insecure about the recent thinning of my hair. However as soon as I sat down and listened to what Wil had to say my mind was eased right away. It was made very clear from the beginning that Wil was an expert and he addressed all of my concerns in a simple way that made it easy to understand. He provided me with a diagnosis, possible causes of my hair thinning, and products to help with my dermatitis. By the end of the consultation I felt not only relieved but also highly informed. Would highly recommend Root Cause to anyone feeling worried about their hair.

I walked into the salon feeling very insecure and worried about my protracted hair loss problems. However, the consultation with Will helped me feel relaxed and at ease. Will patiently went through my records, scanned my scalp and explained the pictures as well as the diagnosis. I left the salon feeling reassured that there were no serious underlying issues with the hair/scalp. I'm hopeful that with the recommended treatment, things will get better. I also received a detailed diagnosis afterwards which is quite helpful for my records and reference. Will also informed me that I can call back anytime if I have any concerns with the hair, which was quite reassuring. I now feel optimistic and enlightened about my hair loss problems. Thank you Will! I highly recommend booking a consultation with Will if you are experiencing hair loss problems.

I was insecure about my hair loss, but my consultation with Will at Root Cause Clinical put me at ease. Will listened and immediately addressed all my concerns while thoroughly checking my scalp. I was provided a diagnosis, medication through the pharmacy and a detailed report outlining my condition. I left feeling informed and hopeful. Highly reccomend if you are experiecing hair loss! Thank you Will

I had a consultation in clinic with Will. I was put at ease straight away. Will was honest and told me what I can expect in the future. I came out the session a lot more calmer than I went in. I would definitely recommend Root Cause for anyone that is experiencing issues with their hair

Stephen was really thorough and knowledgeable during my consultation and I was left feeling like he was genuinely interested in my hair/scalp concerns (which isn’t easy to find these days!) Stephen gave me peace of mind and advice going forward on things I needed to consider and action in order to improve my overall scalp and hair health! Thank you Stephen! Will see you again soon 😁

I was lucky enough to have a online class seminar with Will in my college before Christmas.Will was Amazing and had a vast range of knowledge about scalp disorders,the cause and effects of these and how to treat or advise clients according to their concerns.I feel I gained a better understanding and knowledge of these concerns on order to educate my clients or recommend particular treatment plans.Also an insight into giving a better consultation when treating a client with these concerns.Trichology is a subject I am interested in gaining greater knowledge in and im grateful to Will and Victoria for their time for this introduction to Trichology. Thank You!.

I recently met Wil and instantly he put my mind at ease. Wil is very informative and answers any questions or worries. I would highly recommend root cause clinic to anyone suffering with hair loss as I finally have a solution after years of suffering!

Thank you Wil

I would recommend Wil Fleeson to anyone concerned about hair loss. Wil was patient, empathetic and really listened to my concerns. His knowledge and compassion made me feel like a weight was lifted which after weeks of sleepless nights, overwhelming anxiety and tears has been incredibly welcome!
Less than 24 hours later I received a comprehensive report which detailed what we discussed, diagnosis and recommendations for treatment. There were also no add on costs or expensive suggestions, quite the opposite.
Many, many thanks again!

After attending at a consultation with Will he immediately put my mind at ease. He is very knowledgeable and so passionate about what he does. I would highly recommend Will and would suggest not to put it off as I had spent months of worry for Will to instantly put my mind at ease. Such a fantastic service!

I recently met with Wil Fleeson. He is a caring and professional person, who made me feel at ease with what I was going through. As a younger person who has been dealing with hair loss, I felt like he actually cared about finding the correct but most simple solutions.
Further, he was incredibly informative but ultimately wanted to make it very clear that I had multiple options to choose from myself. I did not feel like I was being guided toward particular solutions so that the medical industry could make more money from my experiences, which I have particular admiration for.
At the close of the meeting, a rough summary of points and the road ahead was laid out, and also emailed to me as part of a comprehensive summary of everything. Great guy, great service.
