Huge thank you to Dr Bajaj. Her bedside manner is exceptional. She is extremely knowledgeable and explains everything in detail in an easy and straightforward way. I feel her support will go a long way to help my son reach his full potential now that he has the necessary support for his adhd. Thank you.

We are four weeks in on adhd medication for my nearly 6 rear old and I cannot thank dr Bajaj enough. We have had a huge change in her behaviour and her focus and learning. We have had star of the week at school, head teacher award at school and a star of the week at dancing lessons. This is more than I could’ve asked for but I knew she had it in her she just needed help to calm down and focus which is what our experience with the medication has been so far. We have had a couple of tantrums during four weeks but we used to have at least five a day so I couldn’t ask for more at this time and at this age. I will be forever grateful for being introduced to dr Bajaj and the medication for my daughter.

I am overjoyed at the improvements that you have witnessed in such a short period of time. I hope your feedback helps other parents to understand that ADHD is a real medical condition. Medication works very well and helps children thrive and meet their potential. Thank you.

I feel like we are getting the best of our son back. He is loving, less angry, participating in family activities, studying independently and able to focus in class so much better.

It was a pleasure to see how his mood lifted and anxiety reduced after starting ADHD medication. Your feedback demonstrates how much ADHD affects a child and those around them. Good luck with his exams, I would love to see him excel!

We brought our daughter for an assessment in October as she was struggling to focus in her studies at school as she approached her GCSE exams this summer. After an initial assessment she received a diagnosis of ADHD and felt relief that there was some reason why she was struggling. After starting medication she said that her ability to focus increased and she has had no side effects. We are really pleased that this has helped her to prepare for her exams and feel more comfortable in herself.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I hope this will encourage parents to seek an ADHD diagnosis and feel less fearful of ADHD medications which reduces anxiety and overwhelm that the child with ADHD child experiences especially in secondary school and during crucial years when they sit GCSE and A level exams. Good luck !

Dr Bajaj was referred to us by our GP, following a referral from our son’s school. Our son was 9 years old at the time and has been diagnosed ADHD. Dr Bajaj has been incredible in terms of helping us navigate but most importantly helping our son understand ADHD. We are two years into our journey and I’m pleased to say our boy is doing so well and has progressed from the lower set at school to an academic scholarship in his 11+. He is calmer at home and much better in himself. We could not have done this without Dr Bajaj who has been instrumental for both us and a number of our friends and family.

Dr bhajaj has been amazing ever since we took our child to see her. De bhajaj confirmed that my son has autism and adhd combined. We’ve seen an overall positive change in our son since starting the adhd medication which has been fantastic to see. Dr bhajaj is extremely thorough and with our sons best interests at heart, initiated treatment slowly but effectively. I’m so glad we have found her- we would thoroughly recommend her services!

Thank you for your feedback, it was brilliant to see her recover so quickly as eczema can really be very distressing for the patient.

My son was diagnosed by Dr. Bajaj in 2018 when he was 12 years old. She was recommended to us by his school (at which I teach). Her kindness and unfailing expertise in our initial meetings was much appreciated. The diagnosis process was thorough, never rushed and created a 360 degree picture of my son from birth, to school and his life at home. Throughout the next six years her care and professionalism throughout (including several online appointments during Covid) was outstanding. From his ADHD diagnosis to date, both in terms of personality and character traits and his academic transformation in my son is remarkable. He has been able to become the young man I always knew him to be. In our initial meeting one of our concerns was “academic underachievement”. With careful management of his health and medication to enable him to be his best self, my son has recently achieved A*AB at A-Level. This undoubtably would never have happened, if we had not entrusted him to Dr. Bajaj’s care. I cannot recommend her enough.

She has been very helpful in helping our son. We struggled with him focusing in class and being easily distracted generally. I was happy we not only saw her for the ADHD diagnosis but she also recommended a educational psychologist which gave us clarity on what was going on. Although we have only used the medication for 1 month, we have seen significant improvement in his concentration and he no longer has night time accidents. Thank you for guiding us through this and listening to us in making adjustments
