Dr Bijan Shahrad is kind and professional when he sees patients. He listens to parents and puts children at ease with his clear advice. Patients feel reassured by his thorough care. The main areas of care are paediatric consultation, health check screening, paediatric gastroenterology, asthma, and constipation.
Bijan was warm, compassionate and really supportive during our initial consultation about our 3 year old daughter. It has meant a lot to have the support of a paediatrician who is professional and knowledgeable, but also who genuinely cares, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to any other parents who need his help.
Dr Bijan Shahrad has been looking after my son for around three years, and we couldn’t be more grateful for his care. His expertise, compassion and genuine kindness have made such a difference to our son and to us as a family. He always takes the time to listen, explain things clearly and ensure we feel supported and reassured. His care has been nothing short of incredible, and we would wholeheartedly recommend him.
Very professional and caring paediatrician. Took the time to listen and explain everything clearly. We had a great experience and really appreciated the care.
My experience with Bijan is exceptional, the care, passion and professionalism he puts into his patients is ten out of ten. My daughter is his patient and I can honestly say we both trust him 100%. He always goes above and beyond for my daughter and I genuinely couldn’t be more happy and greatful for Bijan being my daughter consultant. Thank you for everything we truly appreciate everything.
Amazing experience he really helped my baby and the silent reflux.
Bijan has looked after our daughter with utmost care and attention. He has gone above and beyond what we would have expected - making calls, writing letters and coordinating with other organisations to assist our daughter in getting the right care. We are hugely grateful to Bijan for helping us and our daughter
Bijan is clearly highly experienced with excellent clinical knowledge. This, coupled with his exceptional bedside manner and communication skills, make him an awesome paediatrician! He listened to my son with interest and respect, responded to his needs and put his mind at ease! I cannot recommend Dr Shahrad enough.. and I know my son would say the same! Thank you so much

Thank you for such a kind message, it was a pleasure looking after your son.
Dr bijan was amazing with my little girl, made her feel very comfortable and was a wonderful experience.

Thank you for taking the time to review, it is much appreciated.
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.

Thank you for such a kind message.
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.

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. I am glad you felt listened to.
