Dr Kansra was absolutely brilliant, patient and lovely throughout our appointment. He was so gentle and caring with my 1-year-old daughter and made us both feel completely at ease. He took the time to listen carefully, explained everything clearly, and never made us feel rushed. His kind and reassuring manner really stood out, and we’re so grateful for the excellent care he provided.

We recently had the pleasure of consulting with Dr. Sonal Kansra for our 10-year old son’s asthma, and the experience was truly exceptional. From the moment we met, Dr. Kansra was incredibly professional, diligent, and compassionate. He took the time to thoroughly understand our son’s full medical history, listening patiently to our concerns and asking thoughtful questions. His calm and reassuring demeanour immediately put us at ease and filled us with confidence that our son was in the best possible hands. Rather than rushing through the appointment, he carefully explained the condition and outlined a clear and reassuring path forward for effective management and long-term improvement. Dr. Kansra’s expertise, attention to detail, and genuine care for his patients made this one of the best medical consultations we have ever experienced. We are truly grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to any parent seeking specialist care for paediatric respiratory conditions.

Could not rate Dr Kansas highly enough. After not being listened to by numerous healthcare professionals I sought out a specialist in childhood asthma. Dr Kansra listened to me fully, was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. We now have a plan of action to improve my sons condition and feel so much more positive.
