My appointment with Dr

My appointment with Dr. Costa went very well. He was very trustworthy and I felt very much at ease. After my daughters checkup with Dr. Costa i feel much more confident and his advise was very much appreciated and trusted.

Dr Costa - help with a skin reaction for my 9 year old son

Dr Costa was wonderful with my son (9 years). He took time to understand things from his perspective and explain to him what steps he needs to take going forwards to avoid another reaction. He was incredibly personable and had a very positive affect on my son and his approach to food. Many thanks for his time.

If only Dr Costa had been recommended to us earlier!

I wish we had heard of Dr Costa earlier as he managed to diagnose the rare medical condition which had been plaguing my son’s life for years. It was clear at our first consultation that he was determined to find the root cause of my son’s issues. He immediately put us at ease, and we found him to be very easy to talk to. Unlike other health professionals we consulted, he made us feel listened to. He encouraged us to recount every aspect of our experience and showed an interest in all the symptoms we described even when there seemed to be no connection between them. When the results of the tests he had asked us to do came back, he again listened carefully to our concerns in order to identify the best plan of action. Thanks to Dr Costa, we are finally heading in the right direction!

Dr Costa

Dr. Costa was welcoming, friendly, reassuring and made me feel at great ease. He listened, and was able to identify next steps easily to help with my diagnosis. Explained everything in detail and encouraged us to ask questions. Very pleased with my experience with him. Had great communication throughout with his secretary also.

Dr Costa was extremely generous with his time and was willing to discuss all aspects of my son’s experiences and symptoms. He was careful to explain specialist terms and also took a genuine interest in my experience as a parent. It was such a relief to have a specialist take seriously what is clearly a complex multi-system condition. He was not quick to jump to conclusions nor did he rush our recounting of a years-long struggle with my son’s health. I think we’re finally in good hands.

Exceptional Care and Expertise

Our experience with Dr. Costa was truly outstanding as he guided us in addressing our 10-month-old’s health concerns. Dr. Costa is not only highly knowledgeable but also practices with a meticulous evidence-based approach. He is very compassionate and attentive in every interaction, making us feel supported and valued.

What further elevates the experience is his exceptional secretary, whose kindness and efficiency ensure smooth communication and coordination. Together, they form a remarkable team that embodies professionalism and genuine care. We couldn’t be more grateful for their guidance and support.

Appointment within two weeks

Appointment within two weeks. Only waited 10 mins in the waiting room before being seen. Really kind, understanding and supportive Dr. Didn’t feel rushed and no question was a stupid question!
Would highly recommend both Dr Costa and the location. Communication with Dr’s secretary was efficient and with clear instructions. Great turnaround following the appointment with diagnostic letter confirmation.

We visited Dr Costa for an appointment for our 10 month old son. He was very helpful and straight to the point. Dr Costa carried out a prick test and our son was so calm because of how gentle and polite Dr Costa was. He has a wonderful Aura and definitely knows what he is doing!
