I cannot speak highly enough of him. On our face to face appointment, he was just so lovely with Theo and I really like the fact that he spoke to Theo first and asked him the questions before referring to me. He was kind, patient, didn’t rush us and we had complete trust that our child was receiving the best care.

Great Experience Thorough feedback

Prompt appointment and very easy to book without a long waiting time. Virtual and face to face appointments which was very helpful. Dr Vinod was very friendly and directed some questions to my daughter instead of to me which was a very nice experience as she felt like she was part of the consultation. She was diagnosed very quickly and a treatment plan was put in place. Lots of time left for questions, everything was explained without any jargon. Very knowledgeable and comprehensive appointment, clear plan given. Highly recommended.
