Explanation

I am so grateful to have been under Dr Bakshi's care during a recent worrying allergy flare up. I made the decision to seek his consultation due to the incredibly long NHS waiting times, and I can certainly say it was worth every penny. Not only was it fast and fuss-free to make an appointment (I was offered one the next day by the very helpful Sam on the phone), Dr Bakshi immediately diagnosed my issue, explained it thoroughly and ensured I sought the appropriate tests to confirm the issue. I left the appointment with a prescription which instantly began to treat my condition and now have the full knowledge of my triggers and allergens and how to manage my health going forward. It also helps that Dr Bakshi is clearly just a lovely human being as well as a fantastic doctor. He is very calming, matter of fact and clearly cares deeply about his patients. He went above and beyond to support me in getting full treatment and providing the reassurances I required. I'd never hesitate to go back to Dr Bakshi if needed in the future and would recommend others to look no further for an experienced and caring Allergist.

Explanation

My daughter had ongoing skin problems, couldn't sleep properly at night and it has been ongoing for almost 3 months. Our GP doctors couldn't help or solve her problem and her conditions were getting worse. Until we have seen Dr Bakshi. Straight away he understood what was causing her skin irritation and had a treatment plan. We had several video and in person consultations and within 3 weeks, my daughter's skin condition was treated. She is now a happy child with good night sleeps. Dr Bakshi is a highly recommended professional in his field and I would highly recommend seeing him.
