We cannot recommend or thank Dr Gada highly enough. We had hesitated to seek a diagnosis for our lovely five year old son as we were concerned about ‘labelling’ him so young. But, as Dr Gada told us, a medical label is much better than a social label and early intervention is key. Our son was duly diagnosed with ASD, ADHD and DCD and the experience was wholly positive. The assessment day itself was intense but Dr Gada made us all feel very comfortable and had a wonderful manner when engaging with our son. We were given the diagnosis at the end of the session. This was delivered with great kindness and sensitivity and we left feeling positive and reassured. It was a relief to know why our son has been struggling with certain things and empowering to know how we can now help him. A few days later we received a management plan which included many resources for us and set out clear strategies for the school. We are so happy to have proceeded with diagnosis and will be forever grateful to Dr Gada.

Dr Garda saw our two sons ages 7 and 5, He was very professional and kind. He took a good length of time to asses the kids and made proper diagnosis that we are currently working with to help our kids.
We are glad to recommend him to anyone who needs his help.

Dr Gada saw my 10 year old son earlier this month for a full assessment. He had been recommended to me by a parent who had experienced similar difficulties in gaining their schools support. The current NHS waiting list (I'm advised) is somewhere between 4-6 years!! At which point, due to my sons lack of academic progression, I was concerned it would all be too late.
It was challenging for my son who really did not want to be there and who was incredibly nervous in the lead up to the appointment. The assessment itself is lengthy (depending on the type of assessment being performed I guess) and we were there for 3hrs+ with a 10-15 minute break. Dr Gada was mild mannered and just seemed to 'get' my son, his experience and compassion shone through and he was extremely respectful and professional throughout the assessment.
My son (and I!) were quite exhausted by the end, and when given the diagnoses I felt a mix of relief that my instincts had been correct all along and also emotion over what the future now looks like for my son.
Above all else we left feeling empowered. My son was born neurodivergent (awesome!) and it does not change anything about how wonderful he is and will always be, the only difference is that I can now better understand and fully support his journey to ensure the best possible outcome.
The assessments are charged privately, but I cannot recommend Dr Gada highly enough and would urge any parent with concerns or just a gut feel that something is amiss, to follow their instinct, it will be worth every penny.

Dr Gada saw my daughter in June for a full neurodevelopmental assessment. He was very kind and patient and put my daughter at ease. The process was very thorough and the explanation of the diagnosis which I received on the day from Dr Gada was very detailed. We received a full written report within a week, this report has really helped us understand our daughter and based on this many interventions have been put in place for her at school. We are very grateful that we found Dr Gada.

I saw Dr Gada for an ASD assessment for my 13year old daughter, he was truly amazing. His manner, care and kindest shown to us put us at ease straightaway. We had lot's of opportunities to ask questions and he explained everything so well. His way with young people is incredibly and we felt reassured and listened to throughout the appointment. I would highly recommend Dr Gada.
