Excellent

After many GP visits with not much success I finally came across Dr Costa.
Dr Costa was truly amazing, I totally felt at ease explaining my symptoms and concerns. I felt I was listened to and did not feel rushed.
He was very thorough and knowledgeable and took time to explain further tests required.
I would definitely recommend Dr Costa, he was very kind and caring. I am most grateful for my consultation.

Great experience

I have had a great experience at the Nuffield Hospital in Leamington. I have been experiencing allergy like symptoms and choose to see Dr Costa, who was amazing. He asked a lot of questions and took his time to really understand how I am feeling. As a result, Dr Costa has been able to select the correct tests for me and has helped me to understand the possible diagnosis. I am grateful to have had Dr Costa as my specialist.

Absolutely fantastic

My daughter suffers from allergies and she developed an unexplained rash over her body. We saw several NHS doctors and no one could help us. My daughter was really suffering and finally we came across Dr Costa. His service is was impeccable and like no other doctor we have seen before. He gave us time and listened. We were given skin allergy tests there and then and a diagnosis. We also left with a plan going forward. It was like magic that we finally had clear answers. Dr Costa was also fantastic and kind to my daughter who is only 15 months old. My daughter’s rashes have now completely gone and her diet has been adapted to keep the allergies at bay. I could not recommend enough to anyone who has children who need help with anything allergy related.

It was lovely to meet you all in clinic and your daughter was a delight to chat and play with.
I'm glad to hear her rashes have now settled.
I wish you all the best.

Would recommend.

I recently started a desensitisation programme to reduce my allergy to cats and dogs with Dr Costa. It's too early to tell how effective it has been but I have found Dr Costa very kind and helpful and would definitely recommend him to anyone who is struggling with allergies.

It is always lovely to see you in clinic, and I was glad to see some of your other symptoms have improved so much.
Hopefully soon you will see the effects of the sub-lingual immunotherapy.

After so many visits to my GP and never felt I was listened too with my babies symptoms I decided to go private because of the suffering and guessing

Finally I have the correct service regarding my concerns with her and now she is on the right track

Trust your instinct as a mother and always go to someone who specialises in their field and make the effort for them

Thank you Dr Costa and team

I’m very happy with your professionalism and kindness

Wish I know about you before it’s been a long 15 months but now finally we can move forward

Dr Costa is outstanding

Dr Costa is outstanding. Our child has an extremely rare allergy that he quickly and expertly diagnosed. He is incredibly
thorough in his care, and is clearly very experienced in his field of children's allergies.
If you are concerned about your child’s allergies, I strongly recommend you visit Dr Costa.

We booked a consultation with Dr Costa to review our son. We are always very anxious before appointments as our child has a learning disability and can get very distressed. Dr Costa was so patient and understanding with him. I would highly recommend

Dr Costa at the Nuffield, Leamington Spa

We saw Dr Costa at the Nuffield Leamington Spa, he was very thorough and none of our questions were too much trouble for him to go through. We felt listened to with what can be such a complex subject. He was very patient with our older son that we took with us too.

Excellent

Dr Costa was professional, but friendly, from start of the appointment until finish. He has listened to my concerns with an open mind and not rushed into a decision straight away. He has explained all the steps he was going to take before and during the allergy testing as well as explained his findings in enough detail in order to ensure I understood everything. I am extremely pleased with all the information provided during and after the appointment. Thank you!

Clear, caring and direct

Dr Costa was wonderful during the consultation regarding our 9 year old's allergies. Dr Costa took the time to speak clearly both with us the parents and our daughter as to what she had experienced, a clear plan of action was laid out and all scenarios were discussed. We felt much better informed at the end of the consultation. The appointment was lengthy and at no point did we feel rushed. Dr Costa also followed up with us via email that evening.

Dr Costa was very personable

Dr Costa was very personable, thorough and explained and answered all questions. He made sure that my daughter’s medical action plan was clear and up to date and that she could use an epipen correctly. He followed up all the actions resulting from the appointment promptly.

Highly recommend Dr Costa

Our young son has had two appointments with Dr Costa who diagnosed his condition at the initial appointment within 30 minutes. Dr Costa is extremely thorough and knowledgeable and takes time to explain everything and answer any questions or concerns you may have. His appointments are relaxed and not at all rushed. His communication with us and our son’s GP has been excellent and timely. I would fully recommend Dr Costa and have complete trust in his management of our son’s condition which has significantly improved since diagnosis and receiving the correct treatment.

Gret experience

It was very good to meet Dr Costa. Explained my symptoms, and he was very specific on what the most likely cause was. Beyond that he made it clear there was nothing else he would be able to do and other avenues would need investigating. Very clear and the follow up letter really helpful. Highly recommended.

Ongoing issue resolved

I seen Dr Costa with my son who had an ongoing issue since November. Despite several visits to the GP Dr Costa diagnosed it on the first appointment. Also gave some recommendations on other little issues with him which I'm now looking in to. His manner was lovley and very easy to talk to. I wouldn't hesitate in the future seeing Dr Costa again with my son if needed.
