Practice & team
We love children and have a big heart for teenagers!
Children aren’t just small adults and adolescents are no longer children: personal, age-appropriate and respectful care for our younger and older patients is very important to us.
As parents and families, you are our most important partners. We provide you and your children and adolescents with comprehensive and holistic support in all matters relating to development, acute and chronic illnesses, and any concerns or needs you may have.
As a large team, we offer everything you and your children need to grow up and get well:
Many years of experience, professional expertise, empathy, and a great sense of humour and warmth.
We look forward to accompanying your children on their journey to becoming healthy, self-confident adults!
