Knowledgeable and kind clinician

I am immensely grateful to Dr Costa for supporting where both NHS and insured health provision have failed to assist.
He was courteous, kind and took time to understand my many and varied symptoms. He has taken a conservative approach to additional testing, medication and follow ups and I am hopeful of making progress over the coming weeks.
Top marks also to his assistant who was extremely helpful in managing communication ahead and post my consultation. I am not a child (!) but an appointment was found regardless.

Five star treatment and courtesy

I would give the experience five stars although only four seem to have registered. I was taken very promptly and the doctor explained exactly what was going to happen and gave me the results of the allergy test verbally and the result was confirmed by letter.

We had the best Experience with Dr Costa

Dr Costa is an amazing Dr. We decided to bring our 4 yr old son to be checked for Allergies, and he helped us understand everything, and was so informative. I already recommended Dr Costa to alot of my Mummy friends who have kids with Allergies.

Your child was amazing and I was able to run the tests to find what was the problem.
Hopefully with future treatment, most of his symptoms will be under control.

Professional & Friendly Team

We met with Dr Costa on the 13/12/22 as our daughter was presenting with signs which were described to us as potential allergies and we felt that not all of our questions were answered through the traditional route of healthcare and our personal research, alongside the long waiting list and my desire to maintain my breastfeeding journey which was really important to me, all of this was making it crucial to meet with Dr Costa. Blood in nappy, hives, unexplained irritability, eczema etc were the signs our daughter had.
Dr Costa took the time to receive us and answered our questions, we felt heard and supported and I am able to carry on breastfeeding despite our daughter non-ige allergies.
The Head of Administration, Liz is also very professional and supportive.
A letter was also sent to our GP for information, which creates a link between healthcare professionals.
Dr Costa is also aware of the limitations of allergy testing in babies and was able to explain those.
We can't thank them enough and would highly recommend them to anyone who might need this help.

Positive experience

On arrival we felt very welcomed and at ease discussing our sons history so far. Dr Costa was extremely knowledgeable and gave very clear responses to our questions and advice for the future. I felt like a weight had been lifted and we finally have some support on our allergy journey which we haven’t previously received.

A Fantastic paediatrician!

Dr Costa is a wonderful doctor who showed an incredible amount of care and attention to detail during my sons consultation. He was patient, gave us plenty of time to gather as much information and detail from us in order to make the best plan moving forward. I left the consultation feeling positive about my sons aftercare.
