I saw Dr Gada at his Reading clinic in relation to my 4 year old daughter. I was concerned that at 4 it would be difficult to get much from my daughter during the assessment, but within 5 minutes, she was at ease. I’ve been fobbed off since my daughter was 18 months old, so although the diagnosis was upsetting, it was somewhat of a relief to know that we can now finally move forward. The diagnosis was given during the appointment and a written report received within a week. If you can afford the fee, then please don’t hesitate to book an appointment.

I can't recommend enough Dr Gada. I took my son for a neurodevelopmental assessment for Combined ASD & ADHD & DCD. The process since the first time we contacted the clinic until we got the report has been absolutely serious and professional. Before the assessment we provided a high amount of information about our son. When we arrive to the clinic for the assessment it was clear that Dr Gada had been reviewed all the information provided and was very familiar with all the details provided. The assessment was extensive an very well conducted. I was very impressed on the way Dr Gada connected with my son immediately and how he could keep his attention, praise him and make him go through the entire assessment having my son at ease. He also communicated to me all his findings during the assessment so I could entirely understand the diagnose. He clearly demonstrated how he arrived to his diagnosed and that made a big difference. On top of that he helped with issues that I didn't think before that could be resolved like the sleeping problems of my son and that has made a huge difference since we left the assessment. We received the report timely within 7 days and it was very detailed, covering everything that had been done and included a management plan with 32 points that has helped us hugely to communicate with the GP, the school and others. The GP accepted the report and it helped to obtain additional referrals in line with teh management plan and speed up some of the ones that were already stuck somewhere. The school provided good feedback about the report and has helped us to communicate areas where additional support was needed. And it has helped us and specially my son to understand what is going on and to make a plan on how we can become experts and better support him. I would recommend highly recommend Dr Gada and I can't thank him enough for his assesment, it is life changing.

I would highly recommend Dr Gada. We travelled from Hertfordshire to Reading based on a recommendation of another parents and are delighted we did so. The wait time was appreciably less than other professionals we contacted. It was evident that he had carefully read the reports we had prepared in advance of the assessment. He had read thar my son is sensitive to light and had closed the blinds before we arrived which illustrates beautifully his attention to detail and compassion. Dr Gada was kind, patient and put my son at ease from the very start. Dr Gada listened intently and was very thorough, he explained each stage of the assessmentand gave me unlimited time to ask questions. Where he was able to provide immediate support through a prescription, he did so. Following the appointment, Dr Gada's report is incredibly detailed and the action plan gives us a clear road map for the coming months and years.

Dr Gada was fantastic. His manner with my child was just right - he asked questions and spoke to her in a respectful but engaging way. He saw the subtle difficulties my child has immediately. He diagnosed her confidently and quickly. He was happy to explain his decision and answer our many questions with a professional and caring manner. We did not feel rushed, despite the appointment being quite long due to the number of assessments needed. The report Dr Gada provided was very thorough with detailed analysis of each assessment he carried out. There was an extensive list of resources, suggested actions and advice to us as parents, the school and medical recommendations. Highly recommended.

Dr Gada took a great deal of time and care to assess my son. He was very kind and gentle with him. I was also very impressed with how quickly his report came through and the level of detail given. He was very knowledgeable and able to offer advice and a way forward. I never felt rushed and was comfortable in asking questions. I recommend him highly.
