Happy Words from our Hive

I have had really good experiences with both doctors at the Health Hive. They are gentle, thorough, knowledgeable and great with children. The follow up email they send after your appointment with everything that was discussed is really helpful, as I’ve usually forgotten everything from my appointment by the time I get home. The online booking system is so easy to use. So happy to have such a great resource in Pinelands!

Dr Thomas is so lovely. She took time and care examining our little baby and allowed me to bombard her with so many questions and emails which she was only to happy to answer.10 /10 would recommend.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Nasreen for my baby’s appointment. From the moment we arrived, the care and attention were outstanding. What truly stood out was that when I followed up about a week later, she took the time to offer thoughtful and personalized advice—something I really appreciated as a new parent. Her warmth, expertise, and genuine concern made us feel completely at ease. I highly recommend her to any family looking for compassionate and knowledgeable paediatric care!

Dr Nasreen is BY FAR the best pediatric doctor that we have been to. We have 2 children aged 15 months and 4 years and they simply adore her. After 4 years of searching for the right pediatrician for our family, we have finally found the perfect fit. Dr Nasreen is very competent, up to the latest medical research and looking at our children's health holistically, only prescribing medication where necessary. She also takes the time to interact and to build a fun and positive relationship with the kids. She does not rush things and she is a great listener. We highly recommend her.
