Does my child need to be present at the appointment?
We do like to see the little tummies we are helping, even if just for 10 minutes at the start of the appointment. This can be helpful to get the child’s perspective on their symptoms. However, we also appreciate that many parent prefer some quiet time to discuss the problems you and your family are facing without any distractions.
At the time of booking, we can decide if it would be helpful to have your child present.
