We visited Dr Gada at the end of July with our son to address concerns regarding certain behaviours he was demonstrating. Our consultation lasted just over 2 hours and was carried out in the most professional way possible. Dr Gada listened to all of our concerns, spoke with our son about his concerns and how he feels, and carried out a thorough examination. Since the meeting we have received a detailed report into his findings, along with a comprehensive reading list and directives in order to help our son. We would not hesitate to recommend Dr Gada.

My husband and I had noticed there were certain things our daughter struggled with from birth. Over the last year school became increasingly difficult for her and we felt she might be masking to an extent. I found Dr Gada recommended in a local support group on Facebook and emailed for some advice based on these concerns. The response was very prompt and recommended a full assessment in our case. It was great to be able to have this steer initially as we didn't want to waste anyone's time, or put our daughter to assessment unnecessarily. Before the appointment the clinic was very responsive to emails which was reassuring and information clearly available about what would happen during the assessment. During the assessment itself Dr Gada was brilliant with our daughter. He approached her in the right way and was patient and understanding. He listened to our questions and took on board our concerns. We felt he was really there to support us and that we weren't rushed through the appointment. The report was then received promptly following the assessment. I have already recommended Dr Gada's service to others and wouldn't hesitate to do so. We are very grateful that we were able to access such a professional and experienced consultant.

This is my second time visiting the wonderful Dr Gada, and as expected, the experience was amazing. We had already seen him previously with our eldest daughter for an autism assessment and this time I was with our youngest for an ADHD one. I had no hesitation in choosing Sri for this as our first experience had been so positive. He is kind, patient, thorough, explains everything fully, and you know that his expertise and advice comes from a place of both knowledge and passion for helping children with additional needs. His reports are so informative and include not only the assessment details and diagnosis but also helpful information and suggestions to support our children further. I also love the fact that he carries out a physical exam as he often picks up other things that you can seek additional support for from outside services. Sri is a true gem and we feel very lucky to be able to be in a position to access the level of specialist assessment that he offers. I have recommended him to many people and will continue to do so as I have total faith and confidence in him as a Dr. Thank you once again Sri for being such a key part in our special journey.

Such a caring man, I can not thank him enough. I attended with my 8 yr old daughter and Dr Gada was so friendly and professional. I was worried that we wouldn't have enough evidence for Dr Gada to see what we experience at home but the activities he worked through gave a good picture and our conversations after provided opportunity to discuss concerns. Dr Gada was supportive and understanding during tricky moments with my daughter and completely maintained her dignity when she had an accident. I have received a detailed report of the Neurological Assessment containing findings, diagnosis, advice for school and plenty of links for us parents to look through. Thank you Dr Gada!

Dr Srinivas Gada is absolutely incredible. He was very attentive and knowledgeable and he really listened to my concerns with regards to my 7 year old daughter. He is the only person that showed empathy throughout this tough journey with my daughter. I always knew she had something but was dismissed for years with her school and GP’s. Within 5 minutes Dr Gada made me realise it’s not in my head and I was in fact correct about the worries I had for my daughter. He has a genuine interest and care. I cannot thank him enough. He gave a full comprehensive report to myself and the doctors and this has now been updated on my daughters medical records and the school are now listening and putting things in place. I am so happy I chose Dr Sri Gada. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
