Dr Goonetilleke is amazing! We moved to the UK from the United States and had to continue growth hormone therapy for our daughter. I brought all of her medical records with us and we were able to continue care without having to have our daughter go through testing again. He listened to everything I had to say and answered all of my questions. He even tried to help us out with finding out information with the different issues we ran into with transferring from the United States to the UK. I would recommend him as an endocrinologist for children without any doubt. We will continue to see him for a least the next few years.

Dr Goonetilleke has been nothing but outstanding in the diagnosis and care of my sons Congenital Hypothyroidism. He has treated our family with the utmost respect and each and every appointment, explaining the condition and course of treatment at an appropriate level and including us in the decision making process. At diagnosis he was clear, comprehensive and supportive in what was a particularly challenging time for my family. I would recommend him wholeheartedly.
