“Met David at Northpark Private – he was fantastic! So easy to approach, ask questions to and we just instantly got this honest genuine feeling from him – just a lovely man, my husband and I were super happy with him! He visited us often during our stay checking on out bub and making sure she was well. David is clearly an expert in his field and we are so happy to have him care for our daughter.
