Questions parents ask
What is your vaccination policy?
We follow the national immunisation schedule and the guidance of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics. We are happy to talk through any worries about vaccines at a separate visit.
Can I bring my child in without an appointment?
Yes. Unwell children are seen the same day. Routine check-ups and vaccinations are by appointment.
Do you fill in school and sports forms?
Yes, after a short check-up. Please bring the form and your child's vaccination card.
