Extremely generous doctor

Very friendly and thorough

My husband and I visited Dr Chin around 18-24 months ago with our then 1 year old daughter, with a daily wet cough who brought up mucous on a regular basis. I just wanted to say thank you for taking us seriously and seeking help for our daughter- she's recently had some stitches put in her larynx for a cleft larynx. It seems this was allowing fluids to leak into her lungs causing the persistent infections and ill health. Since the stitches she has been in the best health we have ever had her in, so thank you!!!! Without the support of Dr Chin, our daughter wouldn't be where she is now, a mostly healthy 3 year old.

Unfortunately, I'd not rate Dr Vadamalayan highly. My child and I were in and out in 10 minutes and I felt that he didn't listened to me much or took any notice of what I was telling him, even before we left the room he was checking his phone. Even my child commented " that was quick mummy, it took us 25 mins to get here and only a few mins to see the doctor!" Despite telling the doctor that my child did not suffer from constipation he prescribed tablets for a colonic transit study so my child had to take tablets for 3 consecutive days and on day 4 an x-ray of abdomen was done. He called us a couple of days after the x-ray, he didn't even have the results and asked us to tell him once again what our concerns were which I thought he'd have had noted down during our initial consultation. He then called a few days later to tell me that he had found the x-ray results and there was no sign of the tablets somy child did pass them and didn't have constipation which I had told him already. The only thing he could suggest was giving my child laxatives to make my child have diarrhea and clear out the intestines which again was unnecessary as the reason for our visit was to find out why my child throws up occasionally while feeling absolutely fine and well, without any sign or symptoms of any illness. My child did not suffer from constipation. I told him at the consultation that it could of course be psychological but I wanted to rule out any physiological problems and focusing on constipation was not helpful. Having had to pay the excess on our health insurance and other bills I'm very unsatisfied.

Dr Al-Saffar was amazing with my daughter. Very clear in her advice and very calm in her approach which was just what you need with a teenager. Her review was very comprehensive and I would definitely recommend her as she has expertise in many areas.

Extremely knowledgeable. Polite and explains everything in detail. Dr Sarkar was wonderful with my son, involving him in the appointment rather than just talking directly to me. Every appointment I have come away feeling listened to and feeling like progress is being made.
