Child Development Paediatric Consultation
I saw Dr. Debi with my seven month old at the Holly recently, and had the most pleasant experience! She is a very warm, caring and knowledgeable doctor. My daughter needed some scans and blood tests done, the results of which Dr. Debi kindly followed-up on and kept us updated. She shared her mobile number with us (something I haven't experienced with many doctors at all) and was very approachable - she responded promptly to my messages/ calls, and I was always assured that our baby is in good hands. Would highly recommend Dr. Debi to any parent looking for an excellent paediatrician.
