Great doctor with lot's of experience for children, highly recommended to parents, thank you
The appointment was managed well. Dr Sood provided a clear understanding and explanation of the allergy results we received. Although it was unfortunate that we were unable to complete the skin prick test as we had not been notified not to take any antihistamine before the appointment.
A true proffesionist with visible experience and knowleage. He explaind everything so easy and straight forward. I will highly recommend him to all parents . Thank you.

Great. He explained how things work.
Dr Sood was very professional, and took time to explain what he was going to do. He put my mind at ease and was very gentle with my 6 month old baby. I left the appointment very happy, and would recommend Dr Sood's services to everyone who may need it.
Dr Sood is very good at what he does. He is very good at explaining the problem and also how the problem can be resolved. We have been seeing Dr Sood for over 2 years now and I would most definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you for your continued help.
One of the best doctors I had ever visited.
Very good explanation and he was cleared all our questions about our daughter’s
Good
Dr Rajiv Sood has been looking after my daughter for a number of years now. He is professional and will explain everything in simple terms, he does not rush the appointments and most of all my daughter actually looks forward to seeing Dr Sood as he is very friendly and really good with children, making them feel comfortable as soon as they walk through his office door.
On meeting Dr Sood he seems a wonderful professional. He seems very thorough and patients able to communicate to us his thoughts and how we will proceed with Claudia. We feel we are in good hands with him.
Dr Sood is a fantastic doctor. Before seeing him I had seen two other doctors that were unable to help my children with their problems that had gone on for a year. Within our first appointment with Dr Sood he had carried all the required tests instantly and within three weeks we started to see visible results and on the road to recovery. I cannot express how thankful and grateful we are to Dr Sood. In future any paediatric problems we have Dr Sood will be my first port of call. Dr Sood is most certainly highly recommended by us.
Our experience was extremely positive. Dr Sood has many years as a highly experienced paediatrician and allergist, and this proved to be the case when he reviewed our son. We were extremely happy at our consultation and it was a relieved to have a quick diagnosis with reassurances when our baby was unwell having sought advice without success from other health professionals. We would highly recommend Dr Sood.
Extremely efficient, caring and pleasant.
He was wonderful, thorough and extremely patient.
Dr Sood listened and understood my concerns for my child, he explained clearly how to manage my child’s eczema and prescribed treatment for his skin which has significantly improved his eczema and changed my child’s quality of life.

Dr Sood is a very caring doctor who has been instrumental in our son's care. His diagnostic skills (pin-pointing our son's illness in the very first meeting) and treatment for our son was spot on and his support throughout his illness was vital. I would highly recommend him.
Dr Sood is one of the most caring and excellent doctors I have ever come across.He is an absolutely excellent pediatrician, and not only does he have an amazing caring and gentle way with his child patient but also the entire family. If you are looking for an excellent, expert and caring pediatrician please see Dr Sood. No one else compares.

Dr Sood has always been so approachable and amazing with my daughter. Of all the paediatric specialists I have seen Dr Sood is by far one of the best. His expertise and knowledge has immensely helped. Additionally, his ability to put my toddler at ease always amazes me.
