Thoroughly satisfied with the service received from Dr Sood. Incredibly knowledgeable, personable and highly professional, Dr Sood advised us on our baby daughter's eczema. Following Dr Sood's recommended plan, we are pleased to say her rash has cleared and she is now far less agitated as a result. We would definitely recommend Dr Sood - thank you once again.
