Dr Tantry listened carefully to my daughter as she explained the problems she is having. He was able to explain in simple terms some possible reasons for her issues and clearly laid out a plan of action to investigate and hopefully find out the root cause of her issues. We left with a plan and with hope that we may now be on the right track to a resolution.

Thank you for the kind words and lovely feedback. I am glad you feel reassured and happy with the visit.
Dr Tantry has been amazing with our 5-year-old son while helping diagnose and manage his allergies. From the very beginning, he has made our son feel happy, comfortable, and completely at ease during appointments, which has made such a difference for us as parents too. Appointments are always efficient and well-organised, but never rushed — Dr Tantry takes the time to explain everything clearly, answer questions, and remain professional throughout. His friendly manner and ability to connect with children really stand out. We highly recommend Dr Tantry to any family looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and professional paediatric consultant.

Thank you very much for the lovely feedback and kind words. It is very much appreciated
We were very impressed with Dr Tantry’s knowledge, approach and diligence concerning our son’s issues. We would highly recommend.

Thank you very much for the kind words and feedback!
I contacted about an appointment for my son, received a reply the same day and was able to get an appointment quickly. Dr Tantry explained things clearly and had a warm manner which put my son as ease. Dr Tantry picked up on something else that needed further investigation and wrote to our GP to suggest a referral. Hopefully it will turn out to be nothing serious but we are grateful it was noticed during the examination. We got a prescription the same day for medication and after waiting for a long time on the NHS without success we were very happy with the service.

Thank you very much for the lovely feedback and kind words. I am glad your son was at ease and I hope I have helped.
One of the nicest doctors we have ever met. He was genuinely interested in us, listened to what we had to say and was very clear in explaining the diagnosis and how to go forward. We never felt rushed and we all felt satisfied and like we were with the correct doctor to help us. Wish all doctors were this good.

Thank you for the lovely words. it is much appreciated
