CHILDREN’S HEALTH

“Happy healthy parents make happy healthy children” – Dr Miriam Stoppard

Childhood. What a tender precious season in life. If you’re reading this and you are a parent or caregiver, well done and good work! It is no small feat to raise a child with all the challenges that the twenty-first century can throw at an infant, child or adolescent nowadays in a busy, post-pandemic world – physically, mentally, socially and emotionally.

The doctors at Dural Family Medical Practice are experienced at, and love treating children, adolescents, infants and newborns alike. Some of the doctors at our medical centre in Dural have undertaken additional training in paediatrics and children’s health, having completed Diplomas in Child Health (DCH).
