We met with Dr Gada on 5th December for an assessment for our daughter. He had read all of the information provided before the appointment and was knowledgeable about her already. His manner with my daughter during the assessment was fantastic and eventually she opened up and felt relaxed talking to him. Dr Gada had noted that he needed to travel the next day due to a family emergency and that the report would be delayed. He provided a verbal diagnosis at the appointment and spent his evening writing up the report for my daughter so there was no delay. I could not fault the service we received and the additional effort he put in to ensure that we got the report to access help ASAP. After years on the CAMHS waiting list we decided to contact Dr Gada and the whole process from first contact to diagnosis was only 3 weeks. My daughter can now look forward to a great future with access to the help she needs.

Dr Gada is empathetic and sincere, my son thought he was a very clever man and he enjoyed his time with him. He made him feel totally at ease, he was extremely patient and thorough, at all times he had my son engaged and we were both extremely happy in Dr Gada’s care.

We saw Dr Garda with our Son for an ADHD assessment. He put us all at ease and we were grateful that he went out of his way to schedule a fast appointment. He came highly recommended and his knowledge and skill were quickly apparent. We consider ourselves fortunate to have him to support our Son.

I brought my son to see Dr. Gada, with concerns about possible learning difficulties, during the second period of COVID-19 lockdown. I cannot praise him highly enough for the preparatory guidance provided before the appointment, the care with which Dr. Gada investigated my son's physical and mental health, and the trouble he took to explain his findings and answer my questions (which were many!) I would draw particular attention to the reassurance he provided, clearly drawing on vast professional experience, regarding the future parenting of my child; likewise to the skill with which he interacted with my son during the appointment. The letter that was issued after the appointment, as promised, was wholly accurate, detailed, and full of apt resources for my wife and I to take advantage of, in giving our son the best chance to overcome his challenges. Finally, I greatly appreciate the flexibility of Dr. Gada and his secretary for ensuring that we were seen in a timely fashion, despite the lockdown restrictions in place. My wife, son and I are eternally grateful.

We visited Dr Gada after struggling with some of our sons behaviour for the last two years. We were recommended Dr Gada by a friend of ours who had visited previously. I cannot recommend him enough. He engaged with our son brilliantly and had read all about our family before the visit. This instantly put us all at ease. We received a full written assessment within days and are already on the right path to getting our son the extra support he needs. Thank you!
