We had such a wonderful experience visiting Dr Buddhdev with our 3 year old daughter. From the moment we walked in, he made her laugh and feel completely at ease, she’s usually terrified of doctor visits, but this time she didn’t even realise she was seeing a doctor. His warmth and natural way with children are truly exceptional. On the way home, my husband and I couldn’t stop talking about how professional, kind, and reassuring he was. We felt completely confident in his care and would highly recommend him to any parents.
Amazing experience, Dr Buddhdev and the team have been superb!
Mr Pranai Buddhdev was extremely helpful, friendly and professional on our recent visit regarding my son. Would definitely recommend to others.
Mr Buddhdev, was very warm and welcoming putting my daughter at ease. He articulated the issues at hand was very clear and thoughtful on the recommendation on next steps. I would highly recommend his services as he has a genuine passion for his field of work.
From start to finish our experience has been extremely positive and excellent. Arranging the appointment , Amy his PA was so friendly and professional. With ten appt appointment it’s self Mr Buddhdev was great with our son. He made us feel warm & welcome . He interacted with Joe with a great manner being approachable for him but also maintaining a professional appointment. The information was given and sent extremely quickly after easing the original concerns we had .
I took my 14 yr old, slightly awkward son to see Mr Buddhev recently and he was fantastic with him. Mr Buddhev put Jonathan at ease and spoke directly to him in language that he could understand. Mr Buddhdev was particularly respectful of my son's sports focus and recognised what an important part of his life it is. My son sees a lot of consultants (unrelated to this) but was able to relate to Mr Buddhev better than some consultants that he's been seeing since birth. Heartfelt thanks
I saw Mr Buddhev about some ongoing back discomfort and he was very thorough and reassuring throughout the process. He carefully ruled out conditions like scoliosis and reviewed my CT scan in detail, explaining everything clearly. It was a relief to find out there were no major issues, and I appreciated his calm, professional approach.
Mr Buddhev is a brilliant doctor. His bedside manner is amazing and he makes what could be a difficult and scary experience for my son into something fun.

If you have any concerns about your child’s cast care, don’t hesitate to reach out for a private consultation.

By detecting these conditions early, we can intervene and provide the necessary treatment to support their growth, mobility, and overall well-being. 🚶♀️ 🔍 In this video reel, I wanted to take a moment to explain why my work in paediatric hip disease is so important to me. Through years of experience, continuous learning, and a passion for helping children, I have witnessed the life-changing impact of early diagnosis and appropriate management. 🏥💡 By educating ourselves and others about these conditions, we empower ourselves to recognize the signs, seek timely medical attention, and ultimately improve outcomes for our little patients.

oday I want to raise awareness about #scoliosis, a condition that affects the spinal health of our little superheroes. Let’s dive right in and learn some important facts! 🌟 Scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve sideways. Early detection is key! 👀 Look out for signs like uneven shoulders, a prominent shoulder blade, or an uneven waist. If your child’s clothes don’t fit properly or they complain of back pain, it’s time to get it checked out. ⏰ Early screening is crucial! Regular check-ups help us catch scoliosis early, allowing for the most effective treatment options. 🌟 Management methods vary based on severity and age. From exercises and physical therapy to bracing or surgery for severe cases, personalised care is essential. 📞 Book a consultation with me today to ensure your child receives expert care and support for their spinal health. Together, we can make a difference! www.thekidsbonedoc.com or ☎️ 07415 415260 💙 Share this post with friends and family to spread the word and empower others. Knowledge is power! Let’s stand tall and strong against scoliosis! 🌈✨
