Dr Sood was warm and friendly and had a caring attitude with my daughter as well as my partner and I. He made us relaxed in his manner and also with his explanations of the tests he was carrying out. He offered thorough explanation of the diagnosis and next steps.

Dr Sood is if i may say, the best Dr i have ever met. The knowledge Dr has and the way he passes that information to the patient adn the way he manages to make u understand things so easily, it feels like half of ur health problem has already been solved. Very kind man and such a pleasure to see his professionalism in everything he does. My all 4 kids have been under his medical care and I couldn’t praise him enpuand recommend him enough. May Allah give him a long happy life and reward him immensely.

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.
