Such a kind and caring man who really took the time to listen and understand the issues my son had been experiencing. Dr Crespi thoroughly explained everything in a way that my son could relate to and gave my son the opportunity to ask questions without feeling misunderstood or rushed. I would highly recommend Dr Crespi.

We have seen Dr Crespi with our son a few times since he was a few months old and most recently as a 3 year old. Dr Crespi is very approachable, thorough and an excellent listen, nothing is too much and he is lovely and engaging with our son.

Dr Crespi was really brilliant. My daughter Ellie felt totally at ease with him and was comfortable talking about her health issues. He really listened and seemed very interested in everything we said. He was excellent at explaining things to Ellie and gave some great advice.

We are overseas patients and had felt frustrated by the lack of knowledge regarding coeliac disease in Asia. Dr Crespi was the opposite to our prior experience in this regard. He is knowledgable with clear explanations and gave a clear outline of the condition and next steps. Highly recommended.

Dr Crespi saw our son when our GP suggested he may be coeliac following a blood test but the NHS couldn’t see him for over a year. We decided to go private to reduce any damage continued consumption of gluten would cause. Dr Crespi was brilliant, attentive and looked after all of us not just our son. Tests were arranged quickly and results were reviewed and discussed with us at a follow up consultation.

We consider ourselves absolutely lucky to have had Dr. Crespi treat our son. With our son displaying some rare symptoms, we met several well respected doctors, all of whom came well short in truly understanding and diagnosing our son, despite their best efforts. From our very first conversation with Dr. Crespi however, he showed a passion to understand and carefully consider his next steps so as to guide us properly. He suggested we do some additional tests because he suspected a rare disorder that if left untreated, could have serious consequences. He wasted no time in getting these tests done, and throughout the process kept us fully informed, calm and relaxed about what the next steps would be if in fact his hypothesis was correct. As it turned out, he was absolutely right in identifying a rare disorder that affects 1 in 100,000 people. He walked us through how it was fully manageable with various options to treat it so that our son would be able to get back to a healthy normal life. We put all of our trust in Dr. Crespi and in turn, he was with every step of the way until our son had received the appropriate treatment from the appropriate specialist that he found and who is now well on his way to a full recovery. Dr. Crespi did not care about day or night, weekday or weekend, as he knew that we were very stressed, and that our son was in discomfort. He knew that every hour that passed was one of discomfort for our son and so he fast tracked everything he could to get us the help and support we needed. When it was all done and our son was treated, he continued ...

We felt really lucky to have found Dr Crespi as a Gastro Consultant for our 14 year old son. This is an uncomfortable conversation for teens but Dr Crespi was great and explained everything really well in a reassuring manner. He was very inclusive with our son at every point of the conversation. We continue to be under the care of Dr Crespi and his team and feel genuinely lucky our son has such great care.
