Reviews
Dr Gatrad has given my 2 year old daughter exceptional care and advice. He listened so well to our concerns and took a lot of time to understand our situation. His advice has been brilliant and we feel very reassured after listening to him. I would most certainly recommend.
Professor G was so reassuring when my son was unwell. We discussed everything at length, no question was too daft. He managed to fit me in before we went on holiday so I didn't spend the whole break worrying. He is so very calming, reassuring and knowledgeable
Professor Gatrad, (or Prof G as he is affectionately known to his patients) could not have been a more reassuring presence when we needed it. We were unsure where to turn and anxious to see an experienced paediatrician as soon as we could. Professor Gatrad could tell and went out of his way was to see us the same day.
We were instantly put at ease, and all of the required test were arranged the same day. He was proactive in obtaining the test results and following up as soon as he could. He has a wonderful way with his young patients (and their parents) and we could not recommend highly enough.
I had the privilege of entrusting Professor Gatrad with the care of my son, and I can't express how profoundly grateful I am for the exceptional support we received. Professor Gatrad's level of care was not only amazing but also deeply kind, caring, and compassionate. His approach to healthcare is truly remarkable, as he combines his exceptional professionalism with a genuine and heartfelt concern for his patients' well-being.
Throughout our journey, Professor Gatrad's unwavering dedication shone brightly. He not only addressed my son's medical needs with precision and expertise, but he also consistently went the extra mile to provide a level of support and aftercare that was beyond compare. His ability to balance his remarkable medical skills with his kind and compassionate demeanor made all the difference during a challenging time.
I've encountered various healthcare professionals in the past, but Professor Gatrad's approach and genuine care have set a new standard for excellence. He is the epitome of what a healthcare professional should aspire to be: kind, caring, compassionate, and highly skilled. Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend Professor Gatrad to anyone in need of exceptional medical care coupled with a truly personal touch.
I saw Professor Gatrad recently as I was concerned about a cough that has been ongoing with my Son. He actively listened to my concerns and gently examined my son's chest. Professor Gatrad has a lovely gentle nature (so important when dealing with children). I was slightly worried he may see me as a neurotic mother but he had a totally non condescending nature and on both occasions that I have seen him, has explained the issues and course of action needed in a clear, concise way. I feel lucky to have found Professor Gatrad and would have no hesitation in recommending him.
