We saw Dr Gada with our 12 year old son and could not be more pleased that we did. The whole process from first contact onward was a very positive experience. Dr Gada was personable, professional and knowledgeable making what could have been a very difficult situation for our son into a positive one. The report we received is thorough and insightful. Would totally recommend Dr Gada.

The whole experience from referral through to the appointment has felt incredibly positive. We decided to take our 9 year old daughter to see Dr Gada as we were worried about her social and emotional development. Our daughter was made to feel really welcome and safe, and she left feeling positive after Dr Gada continually praised all of her strengths. The assessment was extensive and naturally covered all of our concerns. Although tiring it was good to have a longer appointment to cover everything in a single session. Dr Gada had spent considerable time reviewing all of the documentation provided ahead of the session so we felt he already knew and understood our daughter before we even walked into the room. It was useful to discuss her diagnosis in depth there and then at the end of the appointment, as I know going away and coming back would have led to us making our own assumptions based on what we witnessed during the assessment. A diagnosis can be seen both positively and negatively, however Dr Gada's reassurances about our daughters future have really put our minds at rest and allowed us to see a positive path forward.

We went to see Dr Gada on Friday with our ten year old son . From the moment we met him he made our son feel at ease and able to be completely be himself . Dr Gada carried out his full in-depth assessments making them engaging and adaptable for our son. He looked thoroughly into the evidence provided by the school and ourselves and took good time to get to know our son and his strength and struggles . He has a fantastic approach and with his extensive knowledge and many years of experience within his field he was able to make a diagnoses and offer guidance to help us retrieve the support our son needs .

I took my son, who is 9 years old, to see Dr Gada last week. I have known for many years that he had behavioural issues but sadly I was prevented from doing anything by his father. At the end of my tether, a friend recommended seeing Dr Gada as waiting for the school, NHS and local authority to do anything was taking way too long. The whole process could not have been better from initially contacting his secretary, to the assessment. Having Dr Gada come to the waiting area to meet us and break the ice with my son was brilliant and put us both at ease. The assessment was thorough, including all of the questionnaires that had to be completed beforehand. It was amazing to be provided with a comprehensive diagnosis immediately and to be assured that his report would follow in a few days with everything I will need to help him at home, in school and socially. I cannot thank Dr Gada enough for the kind, caring, gentle, compassionate and totally thorough way he has dealt with my sons complex issues. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you need some expert help for your child, do not hesitate to make an appointment to see this wonderful man. Love him!!!

We could not recommend Dr Gada More highly. He was extremely patient with us as parents concerned about our 12 month old son and took the time to make sure he addressed all our questions and concerns. He was very good with our son during the appointment and provided a clear plan of action as to how we can now best help our son be the best he can be. Our appointment over ran the allotted time but we were not made to feel like we had been too much trouble.
