We saw Dr Gada for a neurodevelopmental assessment of our child for ADHD. The processes in preparation for the appointment, screening questionnaires and assessment forms and website information on how to prepare for the appointment were excellent . We were very prepared for the assessment and as a result we gained more from it. Dr Gada himself was lovely. He was excellent with our child and both ourselves and our child felt comfortable and relaxed and able to discuss openly all our concerns. Dr Gada was also clearly well prepared and his questions were pertinent to the information we had already given him. We were given every opportunity to discuss our concerns and ask questions . We never felt time pressured and it was a long appointment of nearly 3 hours. We came away feeling more knowledgable and positive for what lay ahead . Our child was also very happy and not in any way troubled by the experience . This was down to Dr Gada’s very kind and sensitive manner. He is very good at relating to children and their parents . We were given a diagnosis at the appointment and had the opportunity to ask questions. Assessment findings were fully explained . This was then followed by a very detailed written report sent by email just less than a week after the appointment. I would definitely recommend Dr Gada and his secretarial/admin team who were efficient and helpful. The only thing I would say is that we had additional reports from an educational psychologist that was very detailed and did highlight concerns which could be relatable to ADHD, in that attention , motivation and executive function were probably causing more of an obstacle to learning than other learning difficulties. I was told Dr Gada didn’t want any additional reports before the appointment . We did get the opportunity to discuss this during the appointment in detail but I think it would have been beneficial to have read it before to consider the educational expert opinion.

We came to see Dr Gada with our daughter who was experiencing a range of difficulties. We were full of uncertainty, worry and a backlog of concerns that we had spent years trying to make sense of. Dr Gada carefully worked his way through the assessments, simultaneously addressing the concerns that we had sent in advance. He seemed to be able to keep these in mind at the same time as working with our daughter. By the end of the afternoon we felt informed, understood and empowered. Most importantly our daughter felt relieved because she could make sense of what she was experiencing and learned that there are strategies to manage this. "A child's life should feel easy," he told us. And it should. It hasn't in the past, but I am very optimistic that it will do in the future. Just days later we are seeing positive changes. I would recommend Dr Gada's services to everyone.

Our whole experience through booking, first e-consult and then assessment has been incredibly easy and guided by the kind and knowledgeable hands of Dr Gada. He is approachable and understanding; both my daughter and I felt at ease during our three hour assessment. The report from that assessment is thorough and accurate and was sent quickly after the event. Thank you so much for looking after us!

Our appointment with Dr Gada was extremely thorough and left no stone unturned which gave us confidence in the assessment and his diagnosis. We were given ample opportunity to say or discuss anything on linings and any information not included in the paperwork sent in advance so we really felt listened to and that all of our concerns had been taken into account as part of the assessment. Dr Gada was very kind and compassionate and can’t thank him enough for the excellent care he gave us as we really felt heard and not just another patient. It is a relief to finally have answers to questions about our son that have been weighing on our minds for years.
