“We see several specialists at their Elizabeth Vale location and have previously been to their Wayville location for two of my children. Adelaide Paediatrics are incredibly professional with modern facilities. Their staff are so welcoming and helpful and really go out and beyond to help you. The way their team interact with children, especially on the autism spectrum is impeccable. I have found each of our specialist’s so informative and they really know what they are talking about. Your children and their progress are in great hands here. Highly recommend.” – Sarah Denny
