Dr Gada is a fantastic man, saw my daughter for exactly who she is. His report has allowed her to get the support that she truly needs.
From the bottom of our hearts, we cannot thank Dr Gada enough for the profound impact they have had on our daughter Xha’lay’s life. After years of uncertainty, Dr Gada truly listened, believed us, and took the time to understand Xha’lay as an individual. They identified the diagnosis that others had missed and recommended the genetic testing that ultimately revealed a rare condition: Kleefstra syndrome type 2. That diagnosis changed everything—it gave us clarity, understanding, and, most importantly, direction. Crucially, it was only after Dr Gada’s recommendation and detailed report that an EHCP process was started. Three years later, we are still waiting for support through the NHS. Without Dr Gada’s intervention, our non-verbal autistic daughter would likely have been placed in a mainstream school, expected to navigate an unfamiliar world while struggling with communication, mental health, and overwhelming demands—an outcome that would have been deeply damaging for her. Thankfully, because of Dr Gada’s expertise and advocacy, this did not happen. The EHCP was conducted on time, and Xha’lay was able to access the provision she truly needed, securing a place in an all-autistic school where she is understood, supported, and able to thrive. Since her diagnosis and the right support being put in place, Xha’lay has gone from strength to strength. Her progress, confidence, and future are all rooted in that first crucial step—being properly assessed by someone who genuinely cared. Dr Gada’s compassion, professionalism, and commitment made all the difference. This is a docto...
Read moreDr Gada was fantastic with our 7yr boy. He was calm, empathic and most of all patient. We had lots of opportunity to ask questions and throughout our visit we were reassured and given plenty of time. Extremely grateful to Dr Gadas care and expertise.
Dr Gada is calm and considerate. He took time to get to know our child and carefully adjusts to get the best level of response to enable a full review. His approach makes tackling tough subjects easier and we would thoroughly recommend him.
Our visit was life changing! Dr Gada understood and saw our child’s needs, that we had been seeing for some time. He is professional and empathetic. He was recommended to us and we could not recommend highly enough.
The neurodiversity assessment that was conducted was professional and precise. The friendly approach of the doctor eased the child and made him comfortable. Report provided was detailed with appropriate links to the outcome of the assessment.
Dr Gada was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We are very thankful for his help and our son is now coping well at school and at home.
It was a wonderful experience consulting with Dr Gada. These kind of assessments are quite pivotal in a Child's life. Naturally as parents, we were very anxious and concerned. He made us very comfortable right from the beginning, patiently listened to our story, observed and interacted with our child and addressed all our concerns. We loved the fact that he spent more than an hour just interacting with our child in various ways and understanding her delays and limitations before giving us a thorough explanation about the situation and the way forward. We loved how calm and reassuring he is as a person and we also love it when someone wholeheartedly interacts with our child understanding her strengths and weaknesses. Ayanna loved him, and so did we. We would fully recommend him to every parent who's seeking a thorough assessment for their children. Much gratitude to Dr Gada again !!
We would highly recommend Dr Gada. After many years of searching for answers we finally received a thorough and conclusive diagnosis alongside a comprehensive list of recommendations for support needed and suggested resources. Dr Gada had an amazing rapport with our teenage daughter. He was reassuring and positive throughout the consultation, and she came away feeling confident and empowered. Thank you Dr Gada for all of your help.
Dr Gada was a true professional from the beginning until the end, he made my daughter feel relaxed and comfortable during the 4 hour assessment. Always explaining what would happen next and importantly for my daughter, there is no wrong answer. I have recommended Dr Gada to friends because of his kind and gentle manner and his very thorough assessment. We made the best decision choosing Dr Gada for a full neurodevelopmental assessment.
Excellent community paediatrician with wide range of experience including ASD. I have received great feedback from patients families I referred to him
