I feel very lucky to have found Dr Bakshi. From the outset, he understood my condition and was clear and decisive about how best to treat it. Before I had even visited the clinic, having read the symptoms I submitted online, Dr Bakshi suspected that what I thought was eczema was actually chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). He quickly arranged the appropriate blood tests and put a treatment plan in place. I first saw him in December 2024, when my CSU flared for the first time. The antihistamines he prescribed worked quickly and allowed me to manage the condition well for around eight months. When it returned, however, it was considerably more severe and at its worst left me effectively housebound for over a month. Dr Bakshi recommended Xolair injections and supported me throughout what was a difficult and unpredictable period. As the condition fluctuated, he was always available to offer advice and reassurance, and the treatment gradually allowed me to get back to normal life. I would highly recommend Dr Bakshi. He is extremely knowledgeable, caring and a really decent man, and I always felt that he was genuinely invested in getting me better. Thank you to Dr Bakshi, Rahul and the British Allergy Clinic for all your kindness, help and support, I am very grateful for your care.

Dr Bakshi was incredibly patient while I explained my child’s condition, and I felt genuinely listened to throughout the appointment. They were very attentive, supportive and empathetic, which made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. Dr Bakshi explained the possible causes clearly and calmly, and their professionalism and evident expertise were very reassuring. I left feeling informed, understood and confident in the care my child was receiving.

I was very anxious about my appointment. Over my life I have seen many many consultants for conditions that they found baffling. My health has been very poor since Christmas and I felt he was perhaps my last hope of a diagnosis and perhaps treatment. I was immediately put at ease . He didn’t rush . He listened to my concerns and gave me a plan. An excellent experience I would happily recommend him to others.

I’m very grateful to Dr. Dinkar Bakshi for the care he gave me while treating my urticaria. He took the time to explain everything clearly, always listened to my concerns, and made me feel genuinely cared for. What I appreciated most was his warm and human approach. He was incredibly kind, approachable and prompt whenever I needed help, which made a difficult time much easier. I truly felt that he cared about me as a person, not just as a patient. I would highly recommend him.
