I have worked alongside Dr Shahrad for over 2 years now and have witnessed first hand what a brilliant doctor he is, his caring nature, and his natural ability to put children at ease. When my own young child needed a referral to a paediatrician, I was overwhelmingly relieved to have her seen by Dr Shahrad as I knew her care would be in the best hands possible. As expected, Dr Shahrad was thorough, kind, and brilliant with my little girl. We felt reassured and completely confident in his care and management. Thank you so much.

Dr Shahrad was brilliant with our daughter and made her feel at ease. He was great with us, as worried parents we had many questions but he always went through everything with us thoroughly which really helped put our minds at ease and get our daughter the right help. We would highly recommend him.

I recently brought my 3-year-old daughter in to see Dr. Bijan, and I was extremely impressed with the entire experience from start to finish. We were seen in a timely manner, and the consultation process was smooth, efficient, and well-organized. Dr. Bijan demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise throughout the appointment. He quickly and accurately provided a diagnosis, explained everything clearly, and offered appropriate follow-up options to address any ongoing or future concerns. What truly stood out, was his remarkable ability to connect with my child. He interacted with her in such a calm, kind, and engaging way that she immediately felt comfortable and at ease. Dr. Bijan genuinely cares about his young patients and is deeply committed to providing the best possible care. Hands down, Dr. Bijan is the best paediatrician I have ever encountered, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to any parent seeking outstanding medical care for their child.
