Dr Karim is the consummate professional. Extremely insightful and with vast experience she helped to support both my children towards diagnosis. My daughter stated it was the first time she had felt someone understood her. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

We had a very positive experience at all stages, from our first contact with Dr Karim's assistant to enquire about an assessment and make a booking, to the follow up communication and resources sent after assessment and diagnosis. The assessment itself was very smooth and sensitively handled. My son and I felt listened to and that information from multiple sources had been gathered and evaluated professionally. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Karim who gave us reassurance, guidance and confidence during the assessment process. She submitted a detailed report very quickly after so we could follow up with our son's school without delay.

I contacted Dr Karim as I had concerns my daughter had ADHD. From her initial assessment to follow up appointments to discuss medication, I found Dr Karim knowledgeable and very professional. She has great expertise in her field and I also found her to be caring and empathetic. Since being under the care of Dr Karim, my daughter’s ADHD has notably improved and her life at school and at home has become more stable. Her treatment has made a significant difference with her ability to stay focused in the classroom environment. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Karim to anyone who is considering seeking treatment with her.

We are very grateful to Dr Karim for her assessment and support for our daughter. Dr Karims service is very professional and efficient but equally relaxing and caring. Our daughter is highly anxious around professionals but Dr Karim was able to quickly develop a good rapport and identify needs and solutions that have had a significant improvement on our daughters, and family’s, wellbeing. Dr Karim quickly communicated treatment to our GP and established shared care where necessary. Highly recommend!
