Dr. Michael Wacks

Dr Michael Wacks is a wonderful consultant with the perfect balance of extensive knowledge, professionalism and friendly, down-to-earth demeanour. He has gone out of his way to provide the best care for our daughter Aurora across several appointments and given us confidence as new parents. This wasn't an easy feat after a particularly bad experience we'd had with our local NHS GP practice and because Dr Wacks had the task of administering the first course of injections - an unpleasant experience for any parent. Dr Wacks did everything possible to support us and we are very grateful.

My partner and I have brought our son to see Dr Wacks on two different occasions, and both times he was very empathetic and thorough, even sharing anecdotes from his own experience as a parent to set our minds at ease regarding concerns we had about our son's development. He took note of each of our concerns, and then he asked questions to get more context before examining our son physically. During and after the examination, he provided his assessment regarding each condition we had highlighted in turn. (There was a long list of concerns, and he took them all seriously, even the ones that I myself thought were far-fetched and unlikely to be real issues for our child.) After each visit, my partner and I also received a very thorough follow-up letter documenting the visit, including the examination itself, our concerns, and recommended treatment (if any) or further observation. Dr Wacks has a wonderfully reassuring bedside manner, which is exactly the kind of demeanour I would hope for in a paediatrician. He also interacted with our son in a way that set him at ease, offering him toys to play with and books to distract him, thereby making the visit all the more pleasant for him. I would gladly recommend that other parents bring their children to see Dr Wacks, regardless of the nature of the medical concern.

Dr. Michael is simply wonderful, knowledgeable , and kind. Very patient and caring, but at the same time quick in understanding issues, using good judgment and immediately deciding on best solution Our baby girl has been struggling with her tummy for some time now and Dr Michael has helped us to find the best way forward after.

exceptional paediatrician; extremely thorough, clear, kind and reassuring. I am so grateful to have met Dr Wacks.
