I cannot find the words to describe how brilliant Dr Venu is. He goes over and beyond his duty with his care and follow-up. He has been very reassuring with every aspect of care for my child and has left no stone unturned to find the root cause of the issue. Quite frankly, we could do with more doctors like him and not just within paediatrics.

We had a brilliant experience with Dr Venu. He was incredibly helpful and gave a lot of his time ahead of the consultation to answer questions we had. He has a very kind, thorough approach, which was very reassuring. We felt he genuinely cared and wanted to help and over all was able to alleviate a lot of the concerns we had with regard to our baby daughter. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Dr Venugopalan took his time to understand our concerns and my child’s needs. He was clear with his explanation of existing conditions and how we could manage these going forward. He was friendly and easy to discuss with and very informative. A very positive experience and one that I have left feeling confident in the ongoing plan agreed on.

He had a lovely manner with my son. My son felt calm and comfortable which speaks volumes. Going to the doctor can be scary for a young child, and Dr Venu was patient and made a great effort to ensure my son felt at ease.
