About us
About Cassia
Care for children, explained to parents
Cassia exists because the questions parents most want answered are rarely the ones a ten-minute appointment has room for. Our appointments are longer by design. We examine the child properly, we explain what we found in language you can repeat to somebody else, and we write it down before you leave. Cassia looks after children from birth through adolescence — the illnesses that will not settle, the feeding and sleeping that is not going well, growth and development, allergy, asthma and the things you have been told to keep an eye on. We see the child, and we talk to you.
How we work
How we work with families
Longer appointments, by design
Most of what a worried parent needs is time to ask. Ten minutes does not provide it.
We talk to you, and to your child
Age-appropriately, and without talking over either of you. Older children are asked their own questions.
A written summary every time
Nobody remembers a consultation accurately when they are worried. You leave with it in writing.
Honest about when nothing is needed
A great deal of what we see needs reassurance and a plan rather than a prescription, and we will say so.

If you are worried, ring
Parents are usually right that something is not as it should be. That is a good enough reason to be seen.
