We saw Dr Gada earlier this month with my 9 year old son. He was providing us with a full Neurodevelopmental Assessment. Throughout the assessment Dr Gada was very respectful of my son who had some apprehension about certain parts of the assessment. He was calm and understanding with my son when he became upset and never pushed him. Everything was explained very well throughout and the report we were given was so comprehensive in terms of diagnosis and further resources for us to access. I cannot thank Dr Gada enough for finally seeing what we've been searching answers for, for so long! Dr Gada's diagnosis has allowed us to make progress finally.

Dr Gada completed an ADHD assessment with my 9 year old son. I was very impressed with the speedy response to my initial enquiry and relieved that the waiting time from my first contact to the actual assessment was brief. During the assessment, Dr Gada had a very calm and caring nature and put both myself and my son at ease. Dr Gada explained everything in a child friendly way which helped to engage my son. It was very helpful to get feedback about the diagnosis at the end of the assessment, rather than having to wait for an outcome. The report that then followed was very thorough. I would recommend Dr Gada to others.

Our experience of my child's Neurodevelopmental Assessment with Dr. Gada was wholly positive. He was calm, patient, kind and professional throughout. His assessment was thorough and his report was extensive, highly detailed, and complete, and included much helpful information and links to resources and further help and advice. His recommendations included the phrase 'medical need', which is a legal term which will help my child hugely in getting the appropriate support at school which she is legally entitled to. The Local Authority cannot refuse to provide an intervention where a specialist such as Dr. Gada has specified a 'medical need'. What was also really important was that as well as diagnosing everything that was Neuro-divergent about my child, Dr. Gada also recognised and acknowledged the positives. I would highly recommend Dr. Gada.

Our 10 year old son had a private neurodevelopmental assessment with Dr Gada. Unfortunately the NHS has not been there for our child. We are extremely thankful to Dr Gada. He assessed our son during a lengthy appointment alongside the questionnaires and documentation supplied. Dr Gada was kind, gentle and professional and put our son at ease. We are so glad that we did this in time for our son heading to secondary school in September. We now have diagnoses for him and can move forward with both knowing how to help him as well as getting him the support he needs from others now we have Dr Gada's comprehensive report including recommendations and resources. The report came through to us only a week after the appointment and we have been able to share this with his school. Thank you very much.

Dr Gada saw my 9 year old son for a full neuro-developmental assessment. From the moment he started the assessment, it was apparent that he had reviewed the questionnaires in detail and was very prepared for the assessment. He was kind, calm, understanding and he knew when to challenge my son and when to ease back. It was a very long afternoon, but we came out with a diagnosis, some advice, and the report was delivered a week later with more detail and a full management plan. He explained everything to my son in language that he understood so when he left Mr Gada's office he knew that things will improve and it was all positive.
