Reviews for this provider are genuinely mixed, and parents considering it should weigh both positive and negative experiences. On the positive side, several reviewers praise individual practitioners — including Dr Chapman, Dr Oyewopo, Dr Hoath, and Dr Carter — for being knowledgeable, non-judgmental, and genuinely caring, and the physical environment is described by multiple reviewers as calm and welcoming. However, serious concerns appear across multiple reviews: at least two reviewers describe being ignored or left without responses after submitting referrals (one describing a hospitalisation following that experience), one reviewer reports a child being refused care without explanation, and two separate reviewers raise issues with reception staff being rude or unhelpful, with an additional complaint about long phone wait times and billing practices that caused distress to an ADHD patient.
