I would definitely recommend her . Been seeing her for my 9year old constipation issues . She listens very carefully to all your concerns and explains the plan of action very clearly, provided the diet and the routine to follow. What I like the most is that she gives adequate time during the consultation and never makes you feel rushed ; making the child and parent feel comfortable.

Dr. Fatima was incredibly attentive and made our 18months old son feel so comfortable. She listened carefully, answered all our questions, and made us feel at ease throughout the visit. We are so grateful and thankful that we got to know Dr Fatima and also we’re now at ease that we have found the perfect paediatrician for our son. Very Highly recommend!”

I want to give Dr. Kagalwala a 5-star review. She was the first doctor who genuinely listened to me as a parent and believed my concerns about my son's sensitivities. While other doctors assumed he was just a fussy eater, Dr. Kagalwala asked the right questions and quickly diagnosed him with SPD. I was waiting for the right diagnosis for 2 years. This diagnosis opened up the right treatment avenues and made a huge difference for us. She was compassionate, patient, and even gave my son thoughtful gifts to encourage him. I’m so grateful for her support, and I highly recommend her to any parent.

Dr Kagalwala was absolutely brilliant. We travelled 4 hours to see her and we would happily go again. She listened to everything we had to say (and we had a long list) and then she explained everything too. Extremely happy with her.

I had the absolute privilege of meeting Dr Fatima Kagalwala on July 23 at Clementine Churchill Hospital regarding my daughter's suspected B12 deficiency. From the very beginning, Dr Kagalwala stood out as a remarkable professional, thorough, empathetic and, above all, extraordinarily patient. She took a detailed history covering everything from my daughter’s birth to the present day, all while my daughter was enthusiastically trying to explore the room (and beyond). As a parent growing increasingly flustered by the chaos, I was struck by Dr Kagalwala's calm, reassuring presence. She kindly told me not to worry, even as toys flew and she tried to escape the consultation altogether. In all my years living in the UK and abroad, I have never encountered a doctor with such a unique blend of professionalism, warmth, and genuine human kindness. Her ability to focus so intently amidst the delightful distraction of a curious child was both impressive and deeply appreciated. We are currently awaiting the results of the blood tests she thoughtfully arranged, and we very much look forward to her expert interpretation, diagnosis, and ongoing guidance. I am extremely grateful to have met her and will not hesitate to consult her again whenever her expertise may benefit my daughter’s care. Thank you, Dr Kagalwala, for your time, compassion, and unwavering patience, you are truly one of a kind.

Dr Kagalwala listened to all my daughters symptoms, conducted some test and explained the reasons behind them. She talked us through a simple plan which we have implemented straight away. Dr Kagalwala is a lovely person, kind, understanding and very easy going. I would definitely recommend her
