Any parent will tell you a good paediatrician is worth their weight in gold! Not only someone to help when something is actually properly wrong with our little treasure, but also to listen patiently when we're over-reacting to whatever scary symptom we've just observed and to reassure us, without being condescending, that everything is actually fine.
It was the latter that led me to the Kinder Clinic. After being sick (pardon the pun) of being made to feel like an idiot by my hospital-assigned paediatrician - as if a first-time mum doesn't feel clueless enough already! I turned to the internet, so I guess really this review is adding to the general glowing praise heaped upon Dr Thondup. The man himself, I might add was, actually horrified when I said I was there because i'd essentially crowd sourced a recommendation. He's patient and onto it as well as kind, and happy for you to email him if you're concerned and wondering if you need an appointment. Based on what I've written above, you'd be forgiven for assuming I'm neurotic over protective helicopter mother. But I'm not. I'm pretty sure I'm basically normal. But you can decide for yourself - the doctor will see you now. read more
