leisa with a complex bub like mis Tay i woiuld ask your algerist/Gi about which pead he works best and liases with, the better him and the paed know each other ( profesionaly speaking ) then the better for you and tay KWIM

you can be under the best peads, Gi, cardi, alergist in the world but if they dont work wel together there wil alsways be issues KWIM

Hey Leisa

We were seeing Noel Cranswick when we were living in Melbourne. He is the director of peadiatrics at the Royal Children's Hospital. I can not recommend him enough.

Definitely find yourself a GOOD doctor near your new home and get a referral to see him. I know how painful it is to find a great paed so best of luck hon.

All the best with the move also.

i saw cathryn lynch and des guppy they were ds and dd3s peads an cathryn was absoluely wonderful, Des was oo but Cathryn explains things. She is fabulous with children too. She practises in highett, ghton, sandringham an closer to the city as does des. I hink she did practice at frankston too but not entirey sure.

Cathryn was the one who ot things moving for baze, didnt stuff around and the only doctor we got thorough answers from too
