From the moment Gary met my son, he put him at ease and I knew I was in the right place. The testing was explained thoroughly and went smoothly and to finally know what was causing the issues is such a relief. Well worth the visit.

Dr Gary Stiefel contacted me prior to our visit to discuss my daughters issues. He made us very welcome. The consultation, testing and follow up were very efficient and informative. We never felt rushed. All our questions were answered and the treatment plan has completely improved my daughters quality of life.

Thanks a million for the kind feedback.
My son has eczema for past two years, tried everything possible with no progress. But after visiting Dr. Gary Stiefel we can see big changes in matter of days! It's getting better! . The consultation was quick and clear, with no big words. Just simple instructions. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the feedback. Eczema can impact hugely on children and the whole family. It is essential to support and provide ongoing advice to ensure families are empowered to manage the eczema. Many thanks once again
Took my daughter (9) to an appointment with Dr Stiefel, to discuss potential fish allergy. Dr Steifel was attentive as I explained her history, and took a holistic approach (I took her for the potential fish allergy, but he considered her overall picture, including possible hay-fever and penicillin allergy). He spoke with my daughter, so she was included in the conversation and able to input, and also put at ease. My daughter was nervous for the skin prick test, but the nurse did an excellent job of keeping her calm and relaxed. Nothing felt rushed, but they worked efficiently together to see patients quickly. Dr Steifel explained clearly, gave a clear plan for us, and next steps. An excellent experience of care, and my daughter came away happy.
I really appreciate the feedback. We really want to provide a great service, with up to date advice and treatment and ensuring all questions are addressed. Thank you
