I cannot recommend Mr Chakraborty enough. He was absolutely brilliant in helping us navigate my daughter’s cows’ milk protein allergy (CMPA) diagnosis. As a parent, it can be incredibly worrying when your baby is struggling, and having someone who listens, takes your concerns seriously and provides clear guidance makes such a difference. He was thorough, compassionate and reassuring throughout the process, helping us understand my daughter’s symptoms and work towards getting the right diagnosis and treatment for her. I finally felt listened to and confident that we were taking the right steps to help her feel better. I am so grateful for the care, time and support he gave both my daughter and our family. It is clear he genuinely cares about his patients and their families. Thank you for making what has been a stressful time feel so much more manageable. We will always be grateful for your help!

Dr was very knowledgable and broke everything down so our child and us as parents could get a full picture and understanding of what is causing her pain. He spoke to her in detail and then told us what he suspected the cause of the pain before sending us to an xray to make sure. The xray was straight away and when we came back he had already looked it over and confirmed what he expected. He not only gave us a prescription but life style tips as well. He reassure my daughter her dad and myself. We are under a number of hospitals and teams but finally we feel like we are getting somewhere in regards to my daughter’s pain. We are very thankful

Dr Chakraborty has looked after my daughter for many years. I have found his care of her to be excellent. He has been kind, patient and has taken the time to explain everything to me as a parent. As she has had new diagnosis’s he has always been there as support and I trust him implicitly where my daughters care is concerned.

We had a very positive experience with the pediatrician. The approach was highly professional, thorough, and caring. The doctor took the time to carefully look into our child’s situation, asked detailed questions, and genuinely showed a strong willingness to help. Everything was explained to us clearly, and we were given helpful guidance on the next steps. We were also referred to the appropriate specialists and for further investigations, including an MRI. We really appreciated the doctor’s kindness, attentiveness, and commitment to finding the right support and care for our child. We would definitely recommend this pediatrician.
