Dr Debi saw my 4 year old son to assess some motor challenges he’s been having. Debi was great at engaging him and getting him to comply which isn’t always easy! And was able to identify some potential explanations and practical solutions we might try to support him.

We had a very positive experience during our visit. Debi was friendly, approachable which immediately put us and our child at ease. She took the time to listen to our concerns and we did not feel rushed at all. She provided clear, practical advice and explained everything in a clear and reassuring manner. We felt well supported throughout the appointment and left feeling much more confident in supporting our child moving forward. Highly recommended.

After seeing paediatricians on the nhs, i decided to go private because i felt my daughter wasn’t being heard. The specialist was incredible-so kind patient, and really understanding. She listened deeply to us, never dismissed my concerns and now I fell really hopeful and supported as we move forward with her care
