We went to Dr Gada with developmental concerns for my 2-year-old daughter. My daughter had 24 months review and even before we have few concerns regarding her communication and language issue but confirmed when she had 24 months HV review. HV and GP referred to Pedestrian but the we had wait for around 5 months. We tried many ways to get the early appointment but failed. We have received Dr Gada’s information from one of the Pedestrian we have appointment with in future date and managed to send reffereal from GP to Dr Gada got the earlier appointment. Before we go to Dr Gada’s appointment we were bit nervous as not how the appointment will as this was the first time, we went private. But after the appointment, with the careful and long full assessment, we are so relaxed and confident that my daughter will be fine. Appointment we went was for full assessment. It was on time and we do not have to wait longer. Dr Gada welcomed us really well and the full assessment took more than 3 hours. He was so nice and patient. He took the lot of information from us as parents and he observed my daughter careful during the assessment and he did the top to toe physical check and he did interact with her and played with her to understand the issues. Even he observed us as parents carefully too and he assured us and given lot of information and guidance. He did ask many questions to us regarding my daughter and he patiently answered the questions we raised. After the assessment, couple of days later we have received comprehensive letter from him with lots of information’s and the plan we have follow. This letter direcly went to GP from him and we have given this in Nursery and to HV and this is really useful and we don’t need to explain everywhere the same thing again and again as we do always. They have got all the required information. We recommend 1000% to see Dr Gada for any reason regarding your child issues. He is full of information, knowledge and experience. Thank you so much Dr Gada again for your time , assessment, Information and advise.

Dr Gada was very attentive and understanding during our appointment. He showed great empathy, compassion and understanding. He made my 15 year old son feel very relaxed which made him open up about any concerns or worries that he had. I had been worried about my son for a while, and Dr Gada gave me wonderful reassurance about my sons possible diagnosis. We had traveled an 1.5hr to see him and we felt that it was definately worth the journey to see a doctor who took the time to speak to you without checking the clock. I was impressed by the amount of notes he took and we left there with a definate mangement plan in place. I highly recommend Dr Gada.

Dr Gada is a very patient, knowledgeable and empathetic person. We took our son to him in pursuit of an ADHD diagnosis after being told the NHS waiting list was 2 years long. He spent loads of time with us in the initial appointment and very thoroughly examined my son and discussed his history with me. In the follow up appointments he has always taken the time to listen to us and is very respectful and inclusive of my son's thoughts also. He is very good at making sure we are all comfortable with the treatment plan he suggests. I feel like he genuinely listens and cares.

We came to Dr Gada with a suspicion that our son Rex (almost 4 years old) had ASD. We had 2 appointments early last year and Rex was diagnosed by Dr Gada April 1st 2020. Our experience with Dr Gada was not only clear, concise and professional, it was with warmth and compassion. Most importantly he gave us the tools and confidence to go forward, be proactive and start our autism journey with positivity. I'm now currently fighting for support for Rex in school and other entitlements and without the knowledge Dr Gada gave me, I honestly wouldn't be fully equipped to tackle these kind of battles. So if you're in 2 minds of where to turn next... trust me, Dr Gada will try to do anything he can to help and he truly did provide me with all the resources and support I needed as a confused mum starting her autism journey. I don't feel I need to state how incredibly intelligent he is and what he's achieved in his career as I'm sure anyone reading this will have already read his profile. I feel so grateful to have met him and will forever be thankful for the help and support he's provided Rex. Laura & Rex X

We would recommend Dr Gada's services. We have struggled for 5 years with our son and could not access any help for him. Dr Gada listened fully to all of us and was able to understand my sons struggles and our struggles very quickly. To us the added empathy Dr Gada shows meant a lot. He gave us tools to help with school and some assistance with coming to terms with the diagnosis. We understand my sons needs and are able to help him now. Thank you Dr Gada
