A superb consultation with a thorough and knowledgeable doctor

A superb consultation with a clearly extremely knowledgeable and thorough consultant. He took time and did not rush me through details, explaining things carefully to me. Finally someone who can help me get to the bottom of what is going on with my daughter’s health issues. A full report was received in less than 48 hours - amazing service.

Amazing experience if you are suffering with hayfever

He was very polite and asked me about my health history to understand some causes and the best treatment for my hayfever symptoms. Dr. Costa explained about the immunotherapy after the skin test as I was positive for some allergens. Definitely I had an excellent experience and I hope to feel better after the treatment after suffering for so many years with hayfever.

Can't recommend highly enough

I had an excellent experience with Dr Costa. He carried out a test on my 9 month old and when she came back as allergic to 3 things he gave me the necessary paperwork to ask my GP for an epi pen and invited me back the following week to be shown how to use it. On both occasions he gave me plenty of opportunities to ask questions and I never felt rushed. We don't have insurance but I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Dr Costa if we needed to as it was well worth the money.

CMPA 7 weeks old

Dr Costa was very understanding of our concerns and took the time to listen. He has an extensive knowledge of allergies and is clearly passionate about the topic and passionate about finding solutions for your individual needs.

Great communication with Liz, his secretary and follow up communication with Dr Costa after our appt.

Excellent thorough Appointments

We have taken our son to see Dr Costa twice now. He has always been really friendly and welcoming and I never feel rushed in the appointments. I would highly recommend him. Having a child with allergies can be stressful and disappointing but being able to manage these and talk through a plan where possible is so helpful.

Very Helpful

I saw Dr Costa for my 3 month old son’s suspected milk allergy and he was friendly, knowledgable and very helpful. He went above and beyond the allergy discussion and answered all of my concerns. Will definitely see him again with any future allergy concerns.

Positive experience

Dr Costa saw my daughter at his clinic recently and was very welcoming and thorough in his approach. He gave sufficient time to answer my list of questions and provided recommendations that we’ve started implementing in my daughter’s routine. Overall, it was a very positive experience. Thank you

After seeing another consultant…

After seeing another consultant elsewhere and not really getting anywhere we made the appointment with Dr Costa who we found to be very informative and knowledgeable. He was very thorough and it was the first time we felt listened to about my Daughters issues. We are very happy with the outcome so far.

I am so grateful for the care and advice received from Dr Costa. I could not be more pleased with the service received from our appointments. I am so glad we decided to book our initial appointment here as we have only had one further appointment yet so much progress in the diagnosis, treatment and improvement of my baby sons skin. Couldn't be happier and Dr Costa is so warm and welcoming. You can tell he genuinely cares and listens.

Cow's milk allergy

I was at my wit's end when seeing Dr Costa after being repeatedly fobbed off by the GP - being told that babies cry and my son's reflux was normal. Within one virtual call Dr Costa had worked out that my son had an allergy and all of his behaviours could be traced back to this. I am immensely grateful at being listened to and my concerns taken seriously. He is clearly an expert in his field

We saw Dr Costa for a 2nd opinion

I took my baby daughter, who had been diagnosed as having a milk allergy, to see Dr Costa for a 2nd opinion after not being happy and being left VERY confused by seeing a Paediatrician after referral by GP.

Dr Costa was very professional, knowledgeable and practical with the assessment and advice he gave us; he put our minds completely at ease after being Ill-informed by the Paed. He also checked our family history of allergies and gave my husband information on immunotherapy for his severe hay fever, which he is considering.

If you or your child suffers from a form of allergy and you’re at a loss on how to proceed/deal with it, a specialist is certainly the way to go; this is what they do day in, day out!

Thank you Dr. Costa!

Dr Costa was thorough and detailed

Dr Costa was thorough and detailed. Slight frustration in that he was unable to give a definite timescale regarding proceeding to skin tests.

So sorry I couldn't give you timescale for the specific skin prick tests.
As you know the decision on some tests is out of my hands, but I will get in touch as soon as they can be performed.
