We contacted Dr Thakur at a time where we were struggling to access any NHS services to address concerns regarding our son's development, due to wait times or referrals being turned down. We knew he was having difficulties, but it was difficult to get that recognised by others and we were unsure where to go next. We were seen in a timely fashion, and had a thorough telephone consultation and face to face appointment. Dr Thakur listened carefully to our concerns and history, alongside doing her own thorough assessment of our son. She was very child centred, and you can tell she does the job because she cares about the outcomes for our children. Within the session, she was able to build up a rapport with our son, and put him at ease, despite it being a new place/person and having to wear a mask. The diagnosis validated what we knew about him as Parents, but had struggled for so long to get those around him to understand. The diagnosis and thorough report, detailing his needs and strategies to support him, will ensure his needs are better met and that he is more understood as a person. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr Thakur and her service to other families. It was a really positive process, which will help us to move forwards. Thank you
