Our 3 month old had eczema, and being first time parents we were quite worried about it. Consulting Dr Debi Ray gave us the much needed peace of mind. She was warm and welcoming, took a detailed history of my pregnancy, family and our son’s condition. She was patient when our son bawled his eyes out. She gave us very clear diagnosis, treatment procedure and follow up plan. She took the time with diagnosis, was happy to see pictures we took of his condition previously too. I would definitely recommend her.

Dr Debi was amazing. We managed to see Dr Debi last minute due to my son having a high temperature all night. Within a few minutes, Dr Debi knew the cause and routed us in the right direction. de Debi constantly followed up post appointment and insured my son was feeling better. Dr Debi also ensured my second child also did not have the same symptoms and medical issue. Highly recommend Dr Debi Ray.
