Thank you.
I need a positive review for Professor Nick Makwana, I have seen him last week in clinic with my son, he has a penaut allergy but he did react to something we don't know, he listened carefully to everything I had to say and reassured me so I need a positive review I recently saw Professor Nick Makwana in clinic with my son following an allergic reaction, despite his known peanut allergy, to something we were unable to identify. From the moment we arrived, Professor Makwana was kind, professional, and incredibly reassuring. He listened carefully to everything I had to say, took our concerns seriously, and explained things clearly in a calm and understanding way. As a parent, it can be very stressful dealing with allergy-related reactions, but I left the appointment feeling much more informed and reassured. His compassionate approach and attention to detail made a real difference to us. I’m very grateful for the care and support we received and would highly recommend Professor Makwana to other families dealing with allergies. Make it 500 words I recently attended an appointment with Professor Nick Makwana alongside my son after he experienced an allergic reaction, despite already having a known peanut allergy. The reaction appeared to be caused by something unknown, which naturally left us feeling very anxious and worried as parents. From the very beginning of the consultation, Professor Makwana made us feel comfortable, listened to us carefully, and approached the situation with genuine kindness, professionalism, and understanding.

Can’t fault the service. Thorough, polite and welcoming. Especially for younger children

Thank you so much.
We recently visited Dr Nick Makwana and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and genuine kindness. Dr Nick took the time to listen carefully to all my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made me feel reassured throughout the consultation. What impressed me the most was his patience and the way he interacted with my child — calm, gentle, and very understanding. The consultation didn’t feel rushed at all, and I truly felt that my child was examined thoroughly and thoughtfully. It’s rare to find a pediatrician who combines strong medical knowledge with such a warm and compassionate approach. I would highly recommend Dr Nick Makwana to any parent looking for high-quality care and a doctor who genuinely cares about children and their wellbeing. Thank you

Thank you for your kind words.
We had clear answers and advice at our very first appointment. We are much more confident in navigating our daughter's diet and skin as a result. We are really grateful to Dr Makwana.
