Dr Gada was recommended to me by my daughter's behavioural specialist for an ASD assessment and I had heard wonderful things about him. From the moment we met him I could tell that he was going to live up to the expectations and I was not disappointed. He was calm, reassuring, and, though my daughter struggles with meeting new people, I could tell she felt at ease with him. The whole process was fascinating to watch and I felt very privileged to see him work. I thought I knew everything about my daughter but it was incredibly enlightening to see how she responded to the tasks and questions. Dr Gada explained everything fully and picked up on so much. One of my fears about the appointment was that her traits would remain masked as she has learnt how to hide them well, but the way in which he presented things meant that they were actually very clear to see. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Gada to anyone and will also be looking to use his services again myself in the future with my youngest daughter too as I was so impressed. He is kind, respectful, thorough, attuned to the needs of the children he works with, informative, and clearly dedicated to his work. We feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to be seen by him. Thank you so much for your time and for giving my daughter the empowerment to be the incredible human that she is.

I visited Dr. Gada for a diagnostic assessment with my 8 year old daughter in January 2021. He immediately put us at ease and carried out a very detailed and thorough assessment, speaking predominantly to my daughter and then with myself. Dr. Gada’s assessment and findings were discussed at the end of the session. We then received a very thorough report detailing further reading and recommendations. My only negative feedback would be that for small children, the clinical setting of a hospital is rather disconcerting. Perhaps the decor or furniture used could be a little warmer/friendly/less formal for little people? I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Gada - in fact I have already done so!

We were made to feel comfortable and heard, from the moment we entered. We have been trying to support our son and being referred between doctors, external services and school for years with little progress so decided to go private. This was the best decision we could have made, and Dr Gada was the best choice of consultant we could have chosen. Our son was immediately at ease and interacted throughout the assessment, something he doesn't find easy when just meeting someone. Our worries were taken seriously and support and guidance is being given. A weight has been lifted from our shoulders a d we could not recommend Dr Gada enough.

From meeting Dr Gada through all of the assessment he was literally amazing with my little boy. I felt like Teddy could be himself because I didn’t have to worry about what people were thinking of his behaviour. Everything was explained so clearly that I literally had no questions once the assessment was finished. This is the best thing I’ve ever done for my son. We look forward to seeing you soon

After spending 7 years fighting with the NHS and getting no where we decided that we needed to look somewhere else. The reviews on websites like this really helped. From the moment I emailed the secretary she was really helpful and I already knew I was doing the correct thing. They were helpful on the fact my son is a masker, Dr Gada suggested that Jodie Smitten should see him for an observation. This was very helpful and we Jodie got a great report of my son. The forms I received to fill in were very useful I had so much information that would be impossible to talk about it all in one appointment, my son also does not like me talking about his problems so it was great that most was wrote down. On the day my son was nervous and his anxiety was really affected on the way, but when Dr Gada called us in and started to talk to my son I could see him let his barrier down. Dr Gada in the appointment was fantastic, he managed to capture everything about my son that we see at home, he engaged with my son and only occasionally needed to discuss a few things with me, it put my son at ease because I did not have to go into detail about him. Dr Gada had read all my information before the appointment I could tell. At the end Dr Gada spoke with me about what my sons diagnosis was, he also discussed other diagnosis that should be looked into. I did get emotional after 7 years of fighting it was a relief to have confirmation. I received the very detailed report within a few days. I would tell anyone that has a child that masks and does not show it in a 45min NHS appointment that it is the best thing I have ever spent money on. My son now has answers and his school have put things in place for him. Thank you so much Dr Gada
