Dr Rashid is so kind and caring . My son had a very long standing medical issue that was making family life quite stressful. After one appointment with Dr Rashid , which was in a very comfortable setting , my son is cured . He listens and explains in very easy terms for both child and parent to understand. He really cares about his patients . We are forever grateful Dr Rashid , thank you
Our young son has suffered throughout his young life with bowel issues and despite constant referrals and trips to the hospital and GP, no improvements were ever made and his suffering and ours just got worse and worse. Through desperation we felt the need to seek private care and I’m so glad we saw Prof G.
He really listened and asked everything there was to know about our son right from the day he was born. This got a bit much for me and I got upset. He said “don’t worry mummy, we will get you smiling again”. Through the information he learned in our consultation he was able to offer us advice that has changed all our lives and ended our son’s suffering. I have without doubt never experienced the sort of patient care we received from Prof G ever before. We would see him again in the future in a heartbeat if necessary.
We have been lucky enough to be in the exceptional care of Professor Gatrad with our two sons for over 9 years. Having moved to the area when our eldest son was 2 we had seen various paediatrician’s throughout the north of England. Without doubt Prof G is the leading paediatric Dr in the uk, the depth of his knowledge and years of experience is exceptional. We have lost count the times we have recommended him to our friends and colleagues throughout the uk.
He has successfully diagnosed and treated our two sons with various issues over the years ranging from their specialist genetic blood disorder, severe reflux and CMPA of our youngest son all the way through to orthopaedic toe issues. We will be forever thankful for his remarkable care and genuine concern for our children, our boys are so fond of him as are we!
Professor Gatrad is extremely professional, wonderfully kind and welcoming which instantly makes you feel at ease, listening to all parents concerns and throughly diagnosing the child leaving no stone unturned.
Our tests and follow up’s are first class and we are indeed privileged to call upon him if we need to make a new appointment. Without doubt one of the best medical professionals we have seen over our years and we are extremely thankful for all he has done for our boys.
There are some moments in life where you are really grateful for what you have and meeting Professor Gatrad after our daughters referral to him was one of those moments!
Prof. Gatrad's depth of knowledge is second to none and the way he involves parents (and children) in his consultations and his thought processes means that you can feel super confident in the resolutions he gives. If we had not found him we would still be going round in circles trying to help our daughter. Instead we now understand exactly what is happening with her and ways to manage it that have made her so much happier. We are very grateful to him.
Ultimately, he is just an all round impressive man and we would recommend him to anyone.
I first met Professor Gatrad when I was just 6 weeks old and suffering from CMPA, he made a very positive and lasting impact on my parents so much so that 30 years later (in 2024) we reached out to him when my newborn son was presenting with similar symptoms. Professor Gatrad’s support, advice and care over recent weeks has meant that we now have a much happier and healthier baby boy.
We will be forever grateful for his help! We would definitely recommend Professor Gatrad. An excellent medical professional who is passionate about making a difference to many lives.
