Recommendations for a paediatric allergist in Melbourne?

:yeahthat: I saw Dr Cutting at RCH with DD's nut allergies and I would recommend him. He is really wonderful with kids.

We saw Dr Joanne Smart, she works out of RCH and has private rooms in Malvern. She was fantastic! A couple of my friends have through Geoff Ford (he does not have a long waiting list) and have been very happy. He is in Essendon.

When we were in Melbourne my DS saw Dr David Hill. He is based at Heidelberg but also works out of Cabrini in Malvern. Now we are on the Sunshine Coast and allergy discussion came up when my DD2 had her post-birth paediatrician appointment. The paed up here wanted to know which allergist diagnosed DS and when I told him it was Dr Hill, he told me that apparently Hill is "the man" when it comes to allergies, so he must have quite a good reputation! He didn't have what I considered to be a warm and fuzzy bedside manner but he certainly knew his stuff, was incredibly thorough and he didn't intimidate DS at all (who was only 2 at the time). If you wanted to see him at Cabrini you'd have a longer wait than if you went to Heidelberg. Either way, you need a referral from the GP.
