Dr. Tanya Thangavelu

Written by a carer at Bosworth Medical Centre

My son first saw Dr Tanya when he was 16 months old and I was a very anxious parent not knowing why my son wasn't reaching milestones. Dr Tanya listened to my concerns and was very professional whilst showing empathy towards us. She has continued to be my son's paediatrician for the last five and a half years. I couldn't ask for a nicer Paediatrician for my son to see. I like that our appointments never seem rushed, she always seems to know what to say and what to do and most of all my little boy really likes Dr Tanya and he looks forward to his appointments.

From the moment we met with Dr Tanya she put us at ease, She has a friendly, warm and empathetic approach. She directed the questioning to my child giving him time to respond despite being busy, checking for his understanding.She displayed such skill in this area to get key information , details and examples recorded. She discussed options for medication and acknowledged he was capable of making decisions about this as she presented him with the facts. Armed with that knowledge he gave valid reasons for his choice which she accepted and put in her letters to other professionals. She did not dismiss alternative/holistic therapies , something which many other professionals have done in the past and asked the child what benefits he gained from his treatment sessions. She really does "unpick" the childs feelings and validate them. She sees the child as an individual and genuinely cares, wanting to improve their lives. She empowers them. My teenager came away saying, "she gets me" and "she was very nice", he really opened up to her. She is very organised and skilled at sign posting families on to get the relevant services involved to help them. The letters she produces are very accurate, depicting the views of the child in my case as the child is in his early teens and shared a lot of information with her. We, no doubt like many have dealt with numerous so called professionals who sit in judgement. I can honestly say it was refreshing to be treated with such integrity. I can not suggest anything to improve the service once you get referred and an appointment.

Dr Tanya is a very kind and caring person, She has given us good and simple advice with how to care for our autistic son regarding toileting and fussy eating. Dr Tanya was the one who helped for our son to be seen by SOLAR(CAMHS) for him to have some help with medication when we could no longer cope. She has always been extremely approachable and not only cares for her patients but for the family as a whole.

Dr Tanya has been by sons doctor for a number of years. I cannot think of any negatives to say! She is friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and most importantly always takes the time to listen to my concerns and I never feel that the appointments have to be rushed to see the next patient.
