We have known professor lack for 22 years when he diagnosed my daughter Jessica with a severe nut allergy. This was obviously a huge shock at the time but he made us realise there was a way forward. We have been to visit him regularly over those two decades and he has been nothing, short of a genius. We would highly recommend being under the nurturing caring and highly qualified professor.

Doctor Lack was very professional and kind when dealing with our 2.5years old daughter. He and the team provided us all information we needed and reassured us throughout the consultations. We couldn’t be happier. Special thanks to Nina for being so attentive during allergy tests
