  Dr Michael Herd

  Paediatrician

Dr Herd consults at Marina Specialists on alternate Saturday mornings.

Other appointment times maybe be available weekdays. Please call to enquire.

GP referrals are preferred, but not essential. Michael is happy to see babies from birth, infants, children and adolescents up to about 15 years of age. Please bring the "Well Child" book or any other medical records you may have of your child's health. He will also need information on current medications, any allergies, and immunisations your child may have had.

Children who have problems with development, attention and/or behaviour will need a 60 minute appointment. Having more time is important for the children and their parents.

For Referrers:  Referrals can be sent to EDI: marinasp, or by fax: (09) 537 0147.
