Have PM'd you Guest

Fallen - i dont think it has to be a paed to diagnose reflux - Isla just has a number of other issues we want covered off as well.

Well the good news is I have an appointment with Dr Richardson for next Wednesday now - much sooner than i was hoping for.

thanks for your replies everyone

Needed urgently, I suspect its on Mon/Tue this week eek, and google turns up NOTHING!]]> Sun, 17 Jul 2011 21:00:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39881&PID=1363995&title=paediatrician-in-wellington-porirua-hutt#1363995 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39881&PID=1362491&title=paediatrician-in-wellington-porirua-hutt#1362491 Author: fallen

Does it have to be a Paed that diagnoses a baby with reflux? (Just asking cuz we have an apt with our GP to discuss reflux in Hailey)]]> Thu, 14 Jul 2011 09:41:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39881&PID=1362491&title=paediatrician-in-wellington-porirua-hutt#1362491 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39881&PID=1362362&title=paediatrician-in-wellington-porirua-hutt#1362362 Author: Nothing

We see Dr Phil Leadbitter when we go up every couple of months at the Hutt hospital. He is a really nice guy and sits down and answers any questions you have. I have no idea if he is any good with reflux tho as DD is being seen about her strawberry birthmarks. Good luck]]> Wed, 13 Jul 2011 22:06:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39881&PID=1362362&title=paediatrician-in-wellington-porirua-hutt#1362362 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39881&PID=1362359&title=paediatrician-in-wellington-porirua-hutt#1362359 Author: babybelly

We saw Vaughan Richardson and in all honesty we weren't overly impressed. He did a lot of talking at us and didn't provide us with a lot of opportunity to give him our daughters casehistory. I found myself trying to talk over him as he kept assuming and I was determined to get him to listen. We ended up flying to Chch and seeing a specialist down there - who was horrified at the advice and medication we had been prescribed. That said my daughter was slightly out of the box and I just don't think he had come across the problem before and wanted to justify our visit to him. I had only heard good things about him before we visited him. I would just go into the appointment determined to advocate for your baby and ready to question why he is recommending what he is... the biggest thing is that you feel comfortable with the outcome. I have friends who have seen Leo Buchanan at Hutt hospital and were impressed. Good luck! ]]> Wed, 13 Jul 2011 21:53:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39881&PID=1362359&title=paediatrician-in-wellington-porirua-hutt#1362359 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39881&PID=1361821&title=paediatrician-in-wellington-porirua-hutt#1361821 Author: Danda08

We've seen Robyn Shaw and Phil Leadbitter in the Hutt but I don't know what their current wait times are like (we just waited 7 weeks for an appointment with Phil) or if they deal with reflux etc, sorry.]]> Wed, 13 Jul 2011 08:20:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39881&PID=1361821&title=paediatrician-in-wellington-porirua-hutt#1361821 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39881&PID=1361770&title=paediatrician-in-wellington-porirua-hutt#1361770 Author: scribe

Yes we also recommend Vaughan - there are others out here in the Hutt with shorter wait times, but we were told it is worth waiting to see Vaughan. I know 4 weeks is a long time to wait with suspected reflux, but in the meantime your GP can prescribe some ranitidine or losec to try. ]]> Tue, 12 Jul 2011 22:30:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39881&PID=1361770&title=paediatrician-in-wellington-porirua-hutt#1361770 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39881&PID=1361765&title=paediatrician-in-wellington-porirua-hutt#1361765 Author: KiwiL

Susie, I'll have a chat with you tomorrow, but yeah, Vaughan Richardson is great and about the only one in Wellington. Pity you didn't get a chance to see Harshad Patel earlier as he is awesome too.

I think there are Hutt paeds but I don't know any, sorry. ]]> Tue, 12 Jul 2011 22:01:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39881&PID=1361765&title=paediatrician-in-wellington-porirua-hutt#1361765 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39881&PID=1361651&title=paediatrician-in-wellington-porirua-hutt#1361651 Author: catisla

Can anyone recommend a Paed in the wellington area? I was referred to Vaughn Richardson but he is unavailable till mid August. Also Dr Patel's voicemail says he only deals with babies under 6 weeks.

DD2 has suspected reflux, uneven legs and hearing problems and I want to see someone as soon as poss. We are covered by Southern Cross so cost no problem.

Even my doctor is having problems finding someone to see us!
