Update August 6 - We are still open and here for you

As the COVID-19 landscape is evolving, we would like to reinforce that we remain open at this time. The government recommendations and new restrictions still allow for you to leave your home to attend medical and/or health appointments, this includes Specialists, Psychology, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, etc. outside your 5km radius.

The health and safety of our patients is our top priority so please rest assured that we have implemented stringent measures in our practice to ensure that we are able to keep our doors open to our patients.

If you can't come to us, we can come to you through Telehealth, via video conferencing or phone call. We understand that attending face-to-face is not viable for all patients and this will allow us to continue providing care for your child. For more information on telehealth appointments or our new measures please feel free to contact us on (03) 9108 7809 or email us at info@bhckids.com.au.

🌟Happy 1st Year Anniversary Brighton Health Clinic for Kids!🌟

Today 15th April 2020 marks the date a year on since we opened our doors! What a journey it’s been!

We express our deepest gratitude to our patients and families for trusting and choosing our clinic, our doctors and our allied health clinicians. We in turn thank all our staff for their committment, knowledge and professionalism that makes our multidisciplinary model of care unique in its setting.

To our referring GPs we appreciate and value all your support for our services and we look forward to a continued partnership in managing our paediatric patients together. We remain passionate about medical education and we will continue our seminars as webinars for the immediate future.

We thank our very capable administration team for all their skills and contribution to the daily smooth running of the clinic.

Chris and I started to build this clinic with a dream in mind, to create a welcoming space of clinical excellence in infant, child and adolescent medicine.

We share with you some behind the scenes photos of our journey, from construction site beginnings, with Chris working tirelessly and patiently as an engineer (or a timely swiss clock as I say…although actually I think the precision comes from pilot training!) to our clinic now being an incredible and talented team of paediatricians, endocrinology specialist, psychologists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, dietitian, continence physiotherapist, podiatrist and exercise physiologist working together.

As we embark on our second year, the circumstances of delivering health services have inevitably changed however our commitment to deliver a high standard of care to our patients remains our priority.

Sincerely

Dr Betty Messazos
Director BHCKIDS
