Dr Abrahamson is a remarkable paediatric consultant who truly goes above and beyond in providing exceptional care. From the moment we walked into Cromwell his warm demeanour put my child at ease, instantly building trust. He is knowledgeable, incredibly empathetic and intensely observant. The blood results confirmed his diagnosis and he made himself available to explain and to address all of our concerns. I cannot thank him enough, he is by far the best paediatric consultant that I have ever met. He genuinely cares and cannot bare to see a child suffer. We will not be seeing anyone else other than Dr Ed.

My son was seen by Dr Abrhamson following a persistent cough. In addition to his wonderful bedside manner with both my son and daughter (also in attendance) his clinical skills and care were exemplary. He instilled confidence and calm in us all and quickly reached a diagnosis and management plan. The care continued after we left the hospital with regular checkins to monitor his progress and with the results of the various diagnostics we had. The treatment plan was effective and my son is now returning to better health. An exceptional doctor who I recommend highly! Thankyou Dr Ed!

Overall very positive. Dr Ed is pragmatic and clear in his comms. He also demonstrates knowing his patients, and appointments build on each other even when months apart, which is in my view positive.

Dr Ed, has been the Pediatrician of my two daughters since they were born. Now they are 9 and 7. I have no words to describe his empathy and professional approach and most of all he has a magic way to connect with children (my girls love to go to see him). He is simply my lifesaver, the best Pediatrician! I highly recommend.

Dr Ed is always clear and concise in his explanations while at the same time giving my son time to acclimatise to the appointment. He is extremely knowledgable, caring and thorough. Wouldn’t go to anyone else if I could help it!

I love Dr Ed. He has such a brilliant and natural way with children. Makes it fun and relaxed (as is possible). And of course great knowledge. It’s always a pleasure to see him in spite of circumstances!

We had the good fortune of being Dr Ed’s patients: not only his incredible knowledgeability and close monitoring of our girl’s condition — far beyond official appointments — was exceptional, but also his genuine care and empathy for our entire family were something I’ll be thankful to him my entire life.

Ed 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.
