Fairfield Paediatrics

Lovely practice with modern and well designed interior. Dr Cathy Coates is really personal, knowledgable, and very warm. I didnt have to wait long to have an appointment, and didnt have to wait long to see her on the day.Absolutely fantastic clinic. Highly recommended for all families !

This clinic is disgraceful, had to wait 5 months for an appointment only for it to be cancelled a week before.Offering only to find another paediatrician else where and go on their waiting list.

I attended Fairfield Paediatrics today to discuss ongoing tummy issues with my 1 year old son. Dr Cathy was patient, knowledgeable and absolutely wonderful. I left the clinic with an action plan, a back up plan and several other answers to random questions I had asked about my son's health. The whole experience was wonderful. I will be recommending Fairfield Paediatrics to any of my friends who need a great paediatrician.

Late 2020 my daughter was not walking yet so I was referred to this clinic by a physiotherapist. Dr Cathy thought my daughter had cerebral palsy, which she communicated to me, so I was referred on to the RCH. Turns out, after much monitoring and watching, my daughter actually has nothing wrong with her, but I understand why the doctor may have thought this since my daughters gait was extremely odd. However, in light of a lot of stress that ensued due to this situation, I was dismayed when Dr Cathy tried to gaslight me when I challenged her on some late blood results. She insinuated that I was overly anxious and should see a psychiatrist. At this point I ceased my daughters care with her as I found her unbelievably unempathetic given the circumstances. She was also late to report abnormal results, and I wondered whether she had too much on her plate. My worst experience with a pediatrician ever, and I would therefore not recommend her.
