Having Dr Karin as your family GP is like having an ace up your sleeve; especially when it comes to paediatric care.

Can’t recommend her enough!

Dr Karin is kind and thorough, and I love that she gave me a script for my little girl that I didn't think I would need - and ended up using a week later. I found that very perceptive and helpful and enjoy her manner with my kids (and myself, and my nanny) very much.
Karin has a lovely professional air about her with a warm and inclusive bedside manner.
