Explanation

Dr Sood was extremely careful with my anxious teenager. He was kind, calm and reassuring. He took time to explain what he was going to do and ensured that my child was comfortable with the pin prick tests. He provided explanations of allergies at the level that we could understand. I could not rate him higher. So refreshing to come across a professional who listens to their patients issues and acts accordingly. Thank you

Our appointment with Dr Sood struck a greta balance between being very friendly but also incredibly professional. He explained everything well ensuring we understood his thinking, the recommended course of action and the rationale for it. He was also very reassuring and we didn't feel like we were being talked down at - which can sometimes be the case with healthcare professionals. Highly recommended!

Dr Sood was thoughtful and thorough in our consultation. He listened to the problems that we were having, asked some clarifying questions and came up with a diagnosis that our local GP had not, which resolved the problem our son was having. He also answered other questions we had about general health conditions and provided some recommendations that helped there as well. I would highly recommend him.

Dr Sood was very good. He is working for full health, but for 'not too bad', which is what others have done. He has investigated and found the cause, and given medicine and advice to rectify the root cause. He explained clearly to my child and motivated him to work for full health.
