    Having Dr Karin as your family GP is like having an ace up your sleeve; especially when it comes to paediatric care. Whenever I refer other Moms to Dr Karin I say “you’ll feel as though you’re at your Paed” Dr Karin is so thorough, really listens to consult and has such a lovely demeanour with our baby. Can’t recommend her enough!
