Dr Ranasinghe was excellent with our shy daughter. He took the time to speak directly to her, explain things clearly and simply, and make sure she felt included in the appointment rather than just being spoken about. She arrived feeling very nervous but left happy, reassured and comfortable.

The appt with Dr Asankha Ranasinghe went well. He asked my son questions and asked him if there’s anything he’d like to ask him. He suggested help for my son that I’ve been wanting just hope that gets pushed along and agreed on so we are waiting to hear back on that, not Dr Asakha Ranasinghe department but he’s going to message them. He spoke gently, explaining things to him well so my son understood, so there was no confusion. Thank you
