Dr Sood was very thorough in requesting the tests for my Son. We have seen a lot of doctors over the past 7 months for ongoing symptoms. Dr Sood is keen to get to the bottom of his issues which I’m very grateful for.

A brilliant paediatrician. We’ve seen Dr. Sood regarding reflux with both our children and I can’t rate his expertise, understanding and professionalism more highly enough.

Dr Rajiv Sood has been excellent with treating our daughters eczema.

01 May 2025verified patient

Dr Sood was professional with an excellent manner with my baby girl. He clearly listened to all my concerns, carried out a skin prick test with care, and talked through an action plan for managing her eczema. We are in the early days of following it, but I am already starting to see some improvements. Additionally, Dr Sood supported my daughter with a separate issue and prescription for that too. I would certainly recommend Dr Sood.

Dr Sood carefully listened to my son's situation and suggested a course of action which was very sensible and reassuring. He made sure my son was quite comfortable for the allergy prick test explaining the process and the underlying science. Overall we had a great experience.
