"Our five-year-old was struggling with his speech development, something I had encountered at the same age. With long waiting lists for support on the NHS, The Muir Practice provided us with exceptional care and help. Nadine was patient and caring and she made each appointment fun and engaging. She also provided us with the tools to allow us to help them at home which has strengthened their speech and language development.”
