Dr Srinivas Gada

Written by a private patient at Spire Dunedin Hospital

We had an initial consultation with Dr Gada, which we were both quite anxious about but he put myself and my daughter at ease straight away. This was then followed by myself and the school completing questionnaires before an assessment. Dr Gada made us both feel comfortable during the assessment, being very considerate at all times, checking that we were both OK with what was being talked about, and ensuring that we fully understood her diagnosis. Dr Gada has been extremely thorough and helpful throughout the process and I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Gada is not only an experienced and knowledgeable specialist, but he is also extremely humble, positive, kind and patient. We took our 7 year old son on 10 Sep for an NDA. He started off by praising our son with all the strengths we had mentioned in the forms. Dr. Gada reads and absorbs ALL the details provided by parents and the school, which makes one feel understood, respected and very well cared for. He engaged with our son using various methods and techniques. It took more than 2 hours; a full physical assessment was also carried out given concerns around our son's coordination. He sent us the full report in 2 working days; it was extremely comprehensive containing the diagnoses, details of the assessments and the recommendations for ensuring our son can continue to enjoy learning and thrive in social settings. We are extremely grateful, and feel very blessed that we were able to find Dr. Gada and for BUPA to have agreed to cover the cost.

Every parent wants their child to be healthy, safe and ultimately happy. So, it came as a huge shock when our daughter's pre-school flagged that we should check if she is autistic. As a father, I first experienced the famous stage of denial (mine lasted around 48 hours), before cracking on with the research. After many hours of research, we found the reviews on Dr Gada and followed this with watching a few of his YouTube videos. We just knew that this was the consultant that will give us the right diagnosis, as well as helping us understand what to do in helping our daughter's development. This view was strengthened by the logical approach to the information he wanted pre-meeting (filled in by both parents and school teachers). Today was the day that we got to meet Mr Gada and from the moment we saw him, we felt at ease. Our daughter was very comfortable and enjoyed playing games, which were all part of the assessment. He spoke slowly and explained every stage in detail, which helped us understand the difficulties our daughter is experiencing. At no point did we feel rushed and it was very noticeable how he wanted to make sure that we got to ask every possible question we had. His feedback at the end was clear and his recommendations/plan of action made complete sense. We will wait for the report to come through now but we already have a list of things to do. We have been through a rollercoaster of emotions, but are more confident than ever that our healthy, happy daughter will be given every chance to develop to her full potential.

Dr Gada is the epitome of what all paediatricians should aim to be. He is an excellent doctor who is an expert in every aspect of his specialisms and yet he is approachable and listens empathetically to parents and children who come to see him. My son has had massive struggles and we were never really able to get to the bottom of them or get the support we needed for him frustratingly because of lack of evidence. Dr Gada spent almost four hours with us assessing for aspects which had been highlighted in an EP report but came out with so many more answers and diagnoses that we never would have known about if we had not seen him privately. We had even seen a community paediatrician only a few weeks prior to dr Gada and the community paediatrician missed such an important diagnosis. Dr Gada could see I was very emotional at my meeting and took extra time with me to explain the tests he was conducting and his findings after each one. At the end of the meeting he asked me repeatedly if I wished to add anything more and to take my time doing so, so it could all go towards the final report. I left Dr Gada with a firm diagnosis of my son’s conditions and his report outlined a clear management plan as well as the next steps for me to help get the support we so needed as a family. His report was absolutely magnificent for the purposes of our EHCP application and our SEND consultant was very much impressed with the detailed clinical report we received, she said it was very rare indeed. We are now hopefully ever closer to getting the support we require for our son to help get him back on track to help him both believe in his abilities again and for him to achieve his potential. I am so grateful I found Dr Gada and cannot recommend him highly enough. He was without a doubt worth every penny!

We were very impressed at the way in which Dr Gada patient and kind manner put our anxious daughter at ease straight away. Though rigorous and thorough, his assessment process was gentle and he respected our daughter's boundaries throughout. Dr Gada is extremely perceptive and attentive and the final asseasment report we recieved was meticulous addressing all aspects of our daughter's challenges with a invaluable list of recommendations for ourselves, our daughter's schools and the various medics. We are delighted Dr Gada was recommended to us and we are now armed with the framework we need to support our daughter in both her academic and social life. What a relief!
