My husband and I visited Dr Chin around 18-24 months ago with our then 1 year old daughter, with a daily wet cough who brought up mucous on a regular basis. I just wanted to say thank you for taking us seriously and seeking help for our daughter- she's recently had some stitches put in her larynx for a cleft larynx. It seems this was allowing fluids to leak into her lungs causing the persistent infections and ill health. Since the stitches she has been in the best health we have ever had her in, so thank you!!!! Without the support of Dr Chin, our daughter wouldn't be where she is now, a mostly healthy 3 year old.

We saw Dr Chin initially because of respiratory problems in 2021, we visited NHS A&E several times who couldn’t help our daughter or identify any other problem. With inflammatory markers so high, this alone should have triggered an investigation of symptoms, other add’s chose to ignore this.. After seeing Dr Chin a few times he was able to treat our daughter for what other Dr’s didn’t check or ignored symptoms of. She had ongoing illness he was able to investigate further and also point us in the right direction, indicating the possibility of a type of periodic fever syndrome and recommending a specialist in this field. This allowed us to get the right help for our daughter as he was the only Dr able to suggest this might be a diagnosis after months of attending a&e not knowing how to help our daughter. I would go back to Dr Chin and highly recommend friends and family to see him, if it wasn’t for Dr Chin we would likely still have no answers. Thank you!

I have consulted with Dr Nwokoro on 3 occasions for my 3 year old daughter with breathing difficulties. He has been helpful and thorough in managing her symptoms and she has made good progress. He is a warm, caring, professional and competent clinician and we would recommend him to our family and friends

Excellent. Listened to all out concerns and issues. Put into place a plan of action that worked almost immediately. This led to an amazing turnaround in our baby's health. From daily vomiting and not being able to lie down or sleep flat to near "normal" in a week.

Dr Chin very quickly put my (slightly nervous) 6 year old daughter at ease with his relaxed and fun approach to the consultation. He took a detailed history and examined her whilst singing and chatting to distract her. Our daughter had been prescribed inhalers for cough variant asthma by the GP and they hadn’t particularly helped. Dr Chin suggested a different potential diagnosis and treatment which so far has hugely improved her symptoms. I mentioned our appointment with Dr Chin to a consultant surgeon friend who had actually worked with him in a previous NHS trust (small world!) and said he was a genius and absolutely exceptional. We would highly recommend Dr Chin. We feel relieved and reassured by the initial consultation and confident in the plan he has put in place for follow up.

Dr Chin is an incredible consultant. He took time to really understand the issues with my daughter and identified the true problem in a single visit, despite other doctors offering a different diagnosis. Dr Chin made us feel heard and reassured my daughter that everything was going to be fine and she would feel better soon, which is true! I cannot thank Dr Chin enough!

We are so greatful that we were able to see Dr Chin for our son. Dr Chin is brilliant. Actually... he is better than brilliant! Dr Chin listened to everything we had concerns about and was able to diagnose and offer treatment. Our son is now able to sleep throughout the night without chronic cough/nasal congestion that was disrupting his sleep for months and multiple GP visits wasn't helping. Dr Chin is warm, friendly and a true professional in his field. We would definitely recommend Dr Chin for anyone who has asthma/allergy conditions.

Our first appointment with Dr Chin was excellent. He was great with our three year old son. He took a very thorough history and prescribed a course of action in line with what I was hoping for to get to try to solve our son's chest issues. I came away feeling reassured that we were in very capable hands and that we were on the right track to making our son better after months of issues.
