Chelvi is a really good and understanding doctor. Very thorough in what she does And really gets to the bottom of the issue. She addresses each and every concern and you feel comfortable around her. She is not one to sugarcoat the problem but that's exactly what my husband and I didn't want. We travel from Leicester to see her and have been late because of the unexpected traffic on a few occasions but she has been more than accommodating. She genuinely wants to help parents and you can see that. I have seen many doctors in Leicester for my son and wouldn't be travelling all the way to London for nothing, she is worth it.

I can't express enough how glad we are that we got a second opinion from Dr Kukendra, both her and her team are outstanding. We received the diagnosis we always believed was correct and it has changed our daughters life so much, she is now educated in specialist provision and the change in her is remarkable. The appointment was quick, follow up appointments arranged swiftly and worth every penny, I recommend her to a friend who has found the process equally as positive. My sincere gratitude goes to Dr Kukendra and her team.

Dr Kukendra recognised our concerns immediately and listened . After various assessments she used her broad experience to diagnose ASD , which other clinicians may have missed. Girls on the mild end of the spectrum are difficult to diagnose as they present differently to boys , and the diagnostic criteria is still based on traits in boys. For this we will always be truly grateful as it has made us able to understand our daughter, and her needs, so much more. I would recommend her without hesitation.

I was able to get an appointment for my child at such a very short(1 day) notice! I am so impressed with her experience, warmth and commitment to the child development. The process of assessment and diagnosis of our autistic child was prompt and feedback system was swift. Service is at a premium but we got value for it!

Our experience with Dr Kukendra was an extremely positive one. Upon meeting her, we immediately felt at ease. All of our concerns regarding our son were taken very seriously by Dr Kukendra. This was so important that my suspicions as a parent were understood and acted upon, having been questioned and left feeling doubted by my own friends and family. The initiial appointment was straight to the point, questions asked and the ADOS screen for autism booked, all within a timely fashion. Shortly after the test, we returned to the clinic for our follow up where our son was given a diagnosis of Autism. Dr Kukendra was very sympathetic throughout our meetings and was lovely towards our son. She sent us a resource pack straight after our final appointment which was full of useful information. I would thoroughly recommend this lovely lady to anyone thinking about having their child assessed. In fact, it was our Occupational Therapist who said that if she had children of her own, they would only ever see Dr Kukendra. I totally understand where she was coming from!.

Dr Kukendra's help was great. She understands the issues that our son is experiencing, she grasped very quickly all aspects of the complexity of his case. She didn't make our son stay at her appointments so he didn't have to listen about his issues (unlikely other doctors). We had our son's diagnosis very quickly and at a reasonable cost. We feared a lot that the cost will be significant since we self-paid but it wasn't. Dr Kukendra directed us to some support groups explaining how they can help. Dr Kukendra collaborates with speech specialists who also contributed to the diagnosis. We found their insight extremely helpful as they pointed out to issues which we were not aware off. We are confident that Dr Kukendra's help will be critical to improving our son's wellbeing in the future.

I had a follow up appointmemt to get the results of my son's assessment and diagnosis. Dr Kukendra was very sympathetic yet extremely helpful and gave me lots of advice and reassurance regarding my son and also referred him to another specialist for further investigations of a medical problem. I felt I was in safe hands. I am highly recommending Dr Kukendr to all parents out there who want a thorough and robust assessment and medical prognosis of their child. She is excellent. Thank you Dr. Kukendra

I took my son to see Dr Kukendrarajah regarding concerns I had about his development. I was not waiting long, the clinic was very pleasant. Dr Kukendrarajah was very attentive and observant and helpful diagnostic assessments for my son. Everything was arranged and I will be getting tests and results through hopefully in a months time. To say she understands ASD and other related disorders is an understatement. I would only ever see her regarding my son and could not recommend a better consultant than her. I trust and value her experience and expertise. She is one of the best Consultants available for paediatric neurodevelopment and I feel very fortunate for my son to be under her wing. She also pointed me in the direction of other trusted professionals including OT and Speech and Language therapists to support my son's assessment and prognosis ensuring a robust diagnosis.
