We saw Dr Harbord for our 6-year-old who started having regular headaches. He explained everything in plain terms and proposed a clear plan. After a few months of targeted management, the headaches have markedly improved and we finally feel back to normal in the house in Adelaide. Very grateful for his practical approach.
Our little one was showing signs of developmental delays and we were worried. Dr Harbord took the time to assess thoroughly and involved us in the steps. He’s reassuring with a gentle manner that made my partner and I feel confident in the care. Highly recommend this paediatric neurologist in the Adelaide area.
After a concerning seizure, Dr Harbord guided us through the management plan with patience and clarity. He kept in touch, adjusted meds when needed, and explained what to monitor at home in a way that made sense for a busy family living in North Adelaide.
We were referred to Dr Harbord for behavioural concerns in our 8-year-old. He did a thorough assessment and helped us understand how behavioral strategies fit with the medical plan. It’s a relief to have a specialist who communicates so well and keeps the family involved.
Dr Harbord was fantastic with our son during a difficult period. He listened carefully, explained the options for seizure management, and supported us with a practical follow-up schedule. The results have been noticeable and it’s a big relief for a parent in Adelaide.
From the initial consult at Gilles Street, I felt we were in good hands. Dr Harbord’s approach to developmental delays was thoughtful and evidence-based. We left with a clear plan and a sense of optimism about our child’s progress.
Fantastic care for our daughter’s headaches. Dr Harbord explained the triggers and recommended manageable strategies for school and home. We left with practical steps and a follow-up date that fits with our Adelaide routine.
