I was not happy with them as they refused the first referral then another doctor saw her and she received support and some medication.

Diagnosed her allergy and treated her

February 5, 2025
Daughter had a severe dairy allergy and they diagnosed her and gave her treatment. They got her on the milk ladder and involved her slowly back to milk. She doesn't have any issues now.

Communication isn't good

Outpatients

Not good at communicating with other departments. Getting play workers or a disability nurse is difficult to help with the appointment.
