Dr Gada provided an exceptional experience during our child’s assessment. From the moment we entered the clinic, we felt welcomed and supported. Dr Gada took the time to understand our concerns and was incredibly patient with our child, who was naturally a bit anxious about the process.

Explanation

We recently saw Dr Gada over concerns for our 6 year old son both at home and in school. We were nervous that our son might not engage with Dr Gada but we needn’t have been. Right from the very first few minutes of the appointment Dr Gada made us all feel at ease. He has a kind and engaging manner with children and made the assessment, though long, as fun as possible. He explained our son’s diagnosis in full and in terms that we were able to understand. We would not hesitate to recommend Dr Gada. One small observation, the facilities at The Spire Reading were limited. We were waiting in a corridor and this wasn’t as comfortable as we might have expected. We are grateful however for an overall positive experience!

We saw Dr Gada for my 10 year old daughter. I can’t thank Dr Gada enough for making us feel at ease and for actually listening to us, and answering all our questions. It was finally appreciated to have an in depth diagnosis for our daughter after years of feeling like we were being over dramatic parents. Would highly recommend Dr Gada and only wished we saw him sooner.

Explanation

We visited Dr Srinivas Gada on recommendation to see our young son. From the moment I contacted his secretary to the matter of weeks that we were seen we were met with efficiency, warmth and complete professionalism. On the actual day of the visit, the Dr made us and our son feel at ease. His manner was friendly and throughout the appointment he was fully focussed on our son, his needs and ours. Completely driven to get us the answers we were desperately seeking, he took time to actively listen and respond with knowledge, kindness and compassion. The report we received within a week was very comprehensive, set out well and with the parents in mind but also other professionals. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Dr Gada to anyone and it’s a great shame there isn’t more like him. His dedication and passion in helping others is obvious and I didn’t think I would say this, but it was a pleasure to have the appointment. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to you Dr Gada and your entire team. Charlotte and Griff

It was a real pleasure to meet such a calm and professional doctor. Dr Gada completed an assessment for ASD, ADHD and Dyspraxia on our 6 year old son and he showed care and patience throughout the long assessment. He showed real understanding of the challenges and provided us with a very clam and supportive environment during the assessment. He took time to answer our multitude of questions and gave his findings in an informative and measured manner. The focus was on the possibilities and opportunities for the future, whilst recognising the challenges but being positive for the future.

Explanation

We cannot recommend or thank Dr Gada highly enough. We had hesitated to seek a diagnosis for our lovely five year old son as we were concerned about ‘labelling’ him so young. But, as Dr Gada told us, a medical label is much better than a social label and early intervention is key. Our son was duly diagnosed with ASD, ADHD and DCD and the experience was wholly positive. The assessment day itself was intense but Dr Gada made us all feel very comfortable and had a wonderful manner when engaging with our son. We were given the diagnosis at the end of the session. This was delivered with great kindness and sensitivity and we left feeling positive and reassured. It was a relief to know why our son has been struggling with certain things and empowering to know how we can now help him. A few days later we received a management plan which included many resources for us and set out clear strategies for the school. We are so happy to have proceeded with diagnosis and will be forever grateful to Dr Gada.

Explanation

Dr. Gada was very thorough and his primary concern is his patients. He saw our son, who is 16 years old, we absolutely appreciated his approach of looking at the whole body along with all the assessments and thorough questioning. We also were amazed at how he spoke to our son, really boosting his confidence. Most importantly, with so many clinics diagnosing and readily giving medication, we appreciated the caution and trying other methods first. His report came promptly and was one of the most thorough reports for both ourselves and school. It provided a fantastic pathway and many other avenues to do further independent reading. Very reassuring. Finally, Dr Gada thoroughness, he detected a heart murmur which he immediately referred us to see a paediatric cardiologist - something that would not have been detected otherwise.

Explanation

We saw Dr Gada in Oct 2022 and overall the experience was excellent. He treated our child very kindly and put him at ease instantly. It was also very edifying to be able to witness the tests that led to the final diagnosis of our child's condition, helping us understand the nature of it. In many discussions with family afterwards we were able to describe the tests to help them understand the diagnosis also - this helped a lot with acceptance of his condition by them. One criticism however is that after the tests were concluded we began discussing them with the child still in the room. This was not ideal and the child picked up on what was being discussed very quickly and it became a little awkward. I took the child out of the room but of course I then had to miss out on the discussion. If there had been a waiting area for the child so they could not overhear it would have made things much easier all round. Hence I took one star off this review. I must highlight the excellent quality of the detailed report that Dr Gada produced - it has been incredibly useful. Every professional we have shown it to has been left in no doubt of our child's needs and condition and it has literally changed our child's life, leading to accommodations and extra resources in various settings. It carries a weight of authority due to its meticulousness and language which is invaluable. Overall our experience with Dr Gada was life-changing in the best possible way and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
