AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Mr Darius Rad is kind and thorough with patients. He provides clear explanations for diagnoses. He involves children and eases their worries. Reviews highlight his skill in children's joint problems, sports injuries, and paediatric fractures.
Mr Rad was very good at explaining and putting a young lady at ease to take her through the process and procedure. His set up for arranging appointments was smooth, the anaesthetist for the procedure equally excellent. I would heartily recommend Mr Rad.
Dr Rad was excellent throughout our daughter’s appointment. He had a great manner, spoke clearly, and explained everything thoroughly to both our daughter and us. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to answer all of our questions. We felt reassured and very well cared for. Highly recommended.
Dr Rad displayed a high degree of professionalism and a good bedside manner. His explanations were clear and concise for both adults and child alike.
Mr Rad met myself and my 9 year old son recently, for concerns over ankle and heel pain. My son is autistic and Mr Rad really included him in the consultation, focussing clearly on him and engaging him brilliantly. Often he feels self conscious and embarassed but Mr Rad’s thoughtful and gentle manner avoided our usual issues. My son is not a fan of hospital and doctors appointments but he virtually bounced out of this one. He was thorough, reassuring, and gave clear supportive advice.
Mr Rad was very kind and clearly explained why my daughter has the various pains. He was calm and actually listened to her. She gets anxious about seeing a doctor but said that this was. Very positive experience.
We visited Mr Rad recently following a referral by a paediatrician over concerns with our daughter’s gross motor skills. Mr Rad carried out a thorough assessment of her in clinic and reassured us, giving us explanations as to why she might be experiencing delay and what our next steps should be. He was so kind and helpful - I would throughly recommend him to any parent.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
