Reviews of this provider are notably mixed, with friendly and welcoming staff mentioned positively by several reviewers, though reception staff quality is a recurring point of contention — at least one reviewer describes them as unhelpful and poorly trained, while others praise them for actively working through cancellation lists. Concerns about delayed or missing reports (raised by at least two reviewers, including one waiting months for autism assessment results) and inconsistent doctor quality (with multiple one-star reviews citing dismissive consultations and unresolved referrals) are significant issues parents should weigh up. On the positive side, some families report highly professional and empathetic specialists, particularly for children on the autism spectrum and in occupational therapy, and note that wait times, while long, can be reduced through the cancellation list.
