Have been seeing Dr. Abrahamson simse son's birth. Dr. Abrahamson always examined and took into account all the symptoms in detail to make a diagnosis. He listens carefully to my thoughts and arguments about the child and explains his approach and actions. I am always calm about my child health after visiting Dr. Abrahamson.

Dr Ed has been brilliant at diagnosing and treating our 4 year old over the past 4 years (allergies, eczema and irritated bladder). All issues that our NHS GP hasn’t been able to resolve have always been identified and treated within the initial consultation. Our daughter is nervous in medical environments but is very comfortable with Dr Ed. We have recommended him to many people and continue to do so.
5
Dr Ed has been great with me this past year. Especially when I had a suspected testicular torsion. His recommendations and connections with doctors is amazing and has really supported me throughout a difficult medical year.
5
Dr Ed is totally wonderful and has been a huge support with our daughter's delayed gross motor. He has been reassuring, calm and left no stone unturned.
5
Dr Ed is a fantastic paediatrician. Both my boys have seen him since birth and my eldest is now 6. Not only does he really know his stuff, having helped us navigate major issues a number of times, but my sons both really enjoy visiting him. He’s a very warm, open and engaging person. We wouldn’t ever choose to see anyone else.

PaediatricsEd is a fantastic paediatrician. I have worked with him over a number of years and he is a brilliant colleague. He also made a diagnosis for my daughter and helped her avoid imminent and unnecessary abdominal surgery. I routinely recommend him to anyone looking for an expert general paediatrician.
