Child/adolescent

Pakenham Medical Clinic provides specialist clinical services for children and adolescents. We have a team of experienced doctors who are proficient in delivering treatment for children and adolescents. Having a family with young ones can be challenging at the best of times, especially when you have an unwell child. Naturally, when our little ones are sick, our first instinct is to take them to the doctor. However, finding the right doctor whom you can trust your little one with, is not as easy as it sounds.

At Pakenham Medical Clinic, we pride ourselves of being trusted by everyone in the family; even the children. Most of our doctors have young ones of their own, so they clearly understand that treating children takes a special amount of attention and warmth.

Our endeavour is to make your child feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. With our play pen in the waiting room and fun toys in each of the doctor’s rooms, children feel at home.

A visit to the doctor is no longer a struggle!

As a positive reinforcement, your child may even get a sticker or a sweet to reward her/him.

We tend to use evidence based treatment plans for every child and adolescent.
