We met with Dr Gada to discuss our 8yr old daughter. Prior to our appointment ourselves and the school were asked to fill out several forms it was clear at the assessment Dr Gada had used these to gain knowledge and understanding of our daughter and this formed a great trust with us and her. Dr Gada greeted our daughter first, this made her feel important as the assessment was for her and not us. We found Dr Gada to be kind, patient, understanding, professional, knowledgeable, quick thinking when things weren’t going to plan and overall we felt he really wanted to help us as a family. The time that Dr Gada must have spent writing the report shows, school were amazed at the detail of the lengthy report that not only gives us understanding of our wonderful daughter but the time he has taken to set out a clear plan to help her to progress not just now but all throughout her school life is invaluable. Since the assessment we have spent time getting to really understand our daughter and how we can help her, the difference has been incredible. I asked our daughter how she felt about the assessment and the outcome, in her words, I feel great and I like knowing I have a very special brain because I always wondered why I did things differently to the people in my class and now I know I’m not puzzled anymore. Thank you Dr Gada

We recently saw Dr Gada with our nearly 4year old son at the Spire, Reading. Booking was very easy and efficient. Dr Gada could recall all the information provided to him about our son from the referral paperwork. He was very kind, caring and patient with our son who was some what non compliant at the start of the assessment! He quickly managed to engage our son and keep his attention well. Dr Gada listened carefully to our concerns and worries. He spent time with us after the assessment explaining his findings. He was very thorough. When we received our report it was very detailed - our senco worker reported it was one of the best ones she has seen! Thankyou Dr Gada - you have given us the tools to now to support our son and get the support he needs and deserves for school from the appropriate services.

Having assessed and diagnosing my child in 2022, and providing us with a detailed report which included recommendations for education providers plus reading suggestions for my child and our family, I was delighted with the service provided by Dr. Gada. More recently, I had cause to request further support intervention from Dr. Gada over a clerical matter which was dealt with very promptly and I would continue to highly recommend Dr. Gada. He is hugely experienced and very compassionate and understanding towards children and their families. His wealth of experience and expertise mean that the diagnosed can be made in clinic, with minimum distress caused to the child and he is warm and kind but efficient and straightforward at the same time.

We saw Dr. Gada recently for an assessment of our son, who had struggled at school and needed learning assistance. Dr. Gada was exceptionally patient and diligent, spending over 90 minutes assessing our son and a similar amount of time describing our son's results. His interaction with our son was marked by kindness, wisdom and understanding, not something we had expected of an "assessment" and both my wife and I felt that he developed a genuine and nuanced understanding of our boy in the process. His diagnosis, while an unwelcome one, rang profoundly true and, again, Dr. Gada distinguished himself in the constructive, patient and comprehensive explanation of his findings. My wife and I come away with an abiding impression of his excellence as a physician; our son, and our family, are fortunate to have found him.
