Best GP for babies

[reren]

I wondered if anyone had any advice about gp surgeries that have been really good locally for new-borns and young children? Currently w the gardens and I'm not crazy about either gp I've seen - and I don't get the feeling they'd be great we young kids. I also wonder if some practices have better ways of handling appointments than others? Don't really know what you look for as a new parent but i imagine you spend a lot of time at the gps so having one you like is important?

I have been with Dulwich Medical Centre and always been very happy with them for my 2 year old.

I'm v happy with The Gardens. Maybe just try different doctors. Not sure who you've seen but last time I took my toddler to see Dr Tran-Dinh he hugged her goodbye. She was marvellous with him.

Ps, rereading your post I now realise it sounds like you don't have kids yet. I think some doctors have a very different persona with adults and with children. Think before you leap because The Gardens is a million times better than my last practice. PM me if you want more of my view - I have a newborn and a toddler.

That is reassuring thank you! We have about 6 weeks until our son is due so I was wondering if I should change before he arrives. If people have had a good experience w the gardens who have kids then I'll probably stay w them - I may well have just had a bad experience in terms of th individual doctors I've seen.
