My child has been under Prof’s care since she was 3, she is now 10! I can’t speak of his wealth of knowledge, experience, empathetic and inclusive bedside manner enough. He is clearly a pioneer of child allergy treatments and I would not hesitate to recommend him and his excellent team. He also is at the forefront of child allergy research, it’s so rare to have this amount of experience in one clinician.
