"Great doctor"

About: Perth Children's Hospital

(as a parent/guardian),

My daughter came in for surgery recently. The anaesthetist that was leading this was Dr Craig. I would like to make it known that this doctor is amazing! His bedside manner and especially his magic tricks with balls and a book really kept my daughter (who has anxiety issues) calm and she did not stop wondering how he did it, smiling and laughing right up until the gas made her go to sleep. She even had a smile on her face for a minute after the gas put her to sleep. She has been in and out of multiple hospitals for eight years now and this is the best experience I have witnessed. Having a child in for surgery (even a minor one like my daughters) is a stressful time and his wonderful demeanour and the way he carried himself kept my daughter's mum and I at ease. He is a professional in every sense of the word and really should be commended. Thank you Dr Craig.
