Dr Makwana is a highly trained professional and is very good with kids. My 11 year old daughter could communicate with ease and understand what Dr Makwana was saying when suggesting how to bring in certain nuts into her diet. We received our care plan which the school needed

I can thoroughly recommend Professor Nick Makwana for his calm professionalism and caring approach towards our daughter. He explained our daughter's condition clearly without any medical jargon. We were left feeling reassured and we would not hesitate to return.
