Dr Dinkar Bakshi is clear and professional with patients. He listens and gives quick care. His plan puts parents and kids at ease. Key care treats food allergies, eczema, and hives through skin prick tests and allergy blood tests.
Dr Bakshi was excellent throughout quick and accurate diagnosis would highly recommend

Many thanks for the kind feedback.
Cannot recommend Dr Bakshi enough. He saw my little boy about 6 months ago regarding eczema on his face that doctors had been unable to treat properly for over a year. In one appointment he did more than any doctor had done before, he listened and explained things so well. After struggling for over a year with his skin and feeling like it was never going to end Dr Bakshi was an absolute god send and we cannot be more thankful. My little boy has got his life back essentially and he is so much happier🥹 6 months down the line it’s like it never happened and had no problems since.

Many thanks for your review. It was a pleasure to help you.
My son recently had a consultation with Dr Bakshi which resulted in a confirmed diagnosis of a peanut allergy. From getting an appointment to the consultation we were treated very respectfully, Dr Bakshi explained everything in a manner that was easy to understand. My son had an initial appointment which included a blood test then a follow up appointment to discuss the findings. The whole process was completed within a week. I would highly recommend anyone who suspects they have allergies to attend the clinic.

Thank you for the kind words and appreciation.
I had met with a couple of doctors before Dr Bakshi and always left feeling overwhelmed and no more informed than when I walked in. Dr Bakshi made me feel heard and supported as soon as I entered his office. As a parent, you just want your children to be happy and ok, it can be incredibly overwhelming when something is off and you aren't getting anywhere with treatments, especially in the big world of excema/allergies. Dr Bakshi not only provided a solution but he took the time and care to explain to me what he believed was happening (before and after photos and a presentation) and how it was effecting my daughter's face/skin (we had reoccuring infected excema). He then has been incredibly responsive to any questions I have had during the treatment phase. Couldn't recommend him more - genuinely feels like he wants to make a difference!

Thank you for the kind words and appreciation.
I would like to thank Dr. Bakshi for his help regarding my condition. Not only did he accept to see me as a foreign (fr) patient, but he provided solutions and advice so I could make things work as soon as I came back to my country. He took the time to explain everything and he stays available whenever I need professional advice. Everything was organized so I could do everything in one trip. The expertise of the Dr. showed through the entire time: the blood tests ran were more than accurate as they showed responses I was expecting to have for more than a year. He transformed a stressful day into a relief, and I cannot be more thankful. I would also like to thank Rahul who stayed caring and available throughout the process.

Thank you for the kind words and appreciation.
Dr Bakshi is expert in his field and takes the time to fully explain the treatment options, following up with clear written explanations by email.

Thank you for the kind words and appreciation.
Dr Dinkar Bakshi was extremely helpful and knowledgeable I felt totally at ease in his care. He has the best bedside manner the kind I remember from long ago that’s so important to patients. His explanations of the tests and costs involved were very thorough. It was a pleasure meeting you Dr. Bakshi.

Many thanks for the kind words and appreciation. It has been a pleasure to meet you and to be able to help with your medical problems.
Our third appointment with Dr Bakshi for our young child. Honestly, I cannot give enough positive feedback & praise for him. I would come back to him again & again for his expertise, professionalism, polite manner etc! I have every faith in his care & advice. His support has been so valuable to us.

Thank you for the lovely feedback.
I honestly don’t even know where I begin. After weeks of being misdiagnosed by several GPs, my symptoms getting worse by the hour let alone by the day, and persistently updating my GP practice that I wasn’t improving at all, for them to tell me to “give it another 2 weeks”, I’d lost all hope in ever getting better. My sister recommended Dr Bakshi (he treated my niece and nephew, she only had wonderful things to say about their experience) as it reached a point where process of elimination was probably the right next step. I filled in the consultation form on Saturday and it was promptly picked up by Rahul, who reassured me that Dr Bakshi can treat me, and luckily there was an appointment on Tuesday. I immediately booked the train, and the rest is history. Dr Bakshi knew immediately what I was suffering from and he took the time to explain it all to me in detail. I started the medication he prescribed whilst on the train home that same afternoon, and almost instantly, my symptoms subsided, and they’ve only improved ever since. I can’t believe a week ago I was severely sleep deprived, covered in hives, and my quality of life was on the floor, to now: the itching is non existent, I’m sleeping through the night, and leaving the house for more than 90 mins doesn’t fill me with dread. After my appointment, I had my bloods done for the ALEX test. My results came back the next day and Dr Bakshi jumped on a phone call with me to explain it all to me, and it was also an opportunity for me to ask further questions. Every step of the way I’ve received nothing but calm, reassuranc...

Thank you for the kind words and appreciation.
We have visited Dr Dinkar Bakshi twice now over the past year to review my toddler’s milk allergy, and we have been really pleased with the care we have received. Dr Bakshi is always polite, professional and incredibly informative. He takes the time to explain everything clearly, answer all of our questions and make sure we fully understand the options and next steps. As a parent, it is really reassuring to have someone who is so knowledgeable and thorough, but also approachable and understanding. We have always felt that our son’s individual needs have been listened to and taken seriously, and we have left both appointments feeling much more reassured and confident about managing his allergy. I would definitely recommend Dr Bakshi to any parent looking for a knowledgeable, professional and caring allergy specialist.

Many thanks for the kind words and appreciation. It has been a pleasure to be able to help.

Impact of allergic rhinitis on exam performance School examinations in the UK are conducted in the months between May and June, which are the peak time period for allergic rhinitis (especially hay fever triggered by grass and tree pollen). In a significant study conducted by Education for Health in the UK in 2007, statistically significant results determined that children with allergic rhinitis symptoms, are likely to drop a grade between the ‘mock’ and ‘final’ GCSE.

Sismanoglou N., Yong E., Senasinghe H., Bakshi D. Background In the UK, up to 10% of 6 year olds are diagnosed with Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis (SAR), with this number doubling amongst teenagers1. SAR not only affects the quality of life but also significantly impacts on examination performance in teenagers2. Desensitisation or immunotherapy involves gradually increasing exposure to the standardized grass pollen extract (Timothy grass, Phleum pratenase) until tolerance is achieved.
