During the pandemic period it was very difficult to access NHS community paediatrician to address our concerns regarding our son’s development. He was having difficulties in communications, social interaction, and sensory issues and showed some signs of ASD. We went far and beyond to find someone or a practice that specialises in ASD assessment until we came across Autism Doctors. Dr Thakur, who is a paediatric consultant with many years of experience and a range of qualification supporting her role with Autism and with the initial conversation prior to consultation appointments, she was very knowledgeable in her area of expertise and this has given us confidence that we have found the right person. During the consultation process (online & face to face), she listened to our concerns, our family background, education settings, etc, She was asking the right questions you can tell she knows what she is doing, and one thing I did find was that she was very child focused and really cared about my son’s health and wellbeing and that was really important for us. Dr Thakur carried out an in-depth assessment and her diagnosis and report was very thorough and detailing needs, strategies, and recommendations to support my son’s development. This has given us some guidance and understanding how we can support my son’s development ready to move forward in the real world. We would not hesitate to recommend Dr Thakur, she has been really supportive and understanding all the way through from the very first time we spoke to her and right to the end. There is no doubt in my mind that we would definitely use her services again and we would highly recommend to other families that are looking for support for themselves or members of their families.
