Lovely, kind and knowledgeable doctor, which is very hard to find nowadays. He made my 3 children with Autism feel very comfortable, usually there would be huge meltdowns and tears when we go to any dr appointment, but not this time, thanks to Dr. Saggar's approach.

Explanation

I booked an appointment with Dr Saggar following constant difficulties understanding my sons healthcare needs and getting the support he desperately needs due to system failures. I have spent 8 years fighting for support and with this my son suffering and not getting the therapy he needs without a constant legal battle. Dr Saggar undertook a detailed assessment to fully understand his difficulties, challenges and how his healthcare needs were impacting his daily living, functional skills and independence. He was person centred and although my son is non speaking and unable to follow instructions he aimed to involve him in the assessment process, responded to his Non verbal communications, was professional and compassionate to our situation. His letter was informative, accurate and honest. He was not afraid to question failings that we have experienced and the lack of therapy and support that our son had experienced upholding the four pillars of medical ethics as required. Justice is one of those pillars and through an accurate and honest assessment we hopefully we will not have to attend yet another special educational needs tribunal simply to get the support my son needs. Thank you Dr Saggar for supporting my son and our whole family enabling us to understand him better and ensure the code of practice is upheld. We are forever grateful to you

We have only had one appointment with Dr Saggar so far but found him to be kind, helpful and incredibly knowledgable. He gave me some great advice for my young son regarding things which were outside of our appointment topic but which he knew would help. He observed things immediately in him where others have not. It's very reassuring as a parent when you find the right expertise.
