"Doctor was really very special in his care"

About: General practices in Fife

(as a parent/guardian),

Hi, on behalf of my wife, we would like to show our gratitude specifically for a doctor called Dr Duggan. 

In mid August 2025, we had to take our two-month-old daughter, who is going through a difficult time. She has been suffering from what we believe to be colic, but it could possibly be something else. The fact is that Dr Duggan was really very special in his care. He has the patience to explain, the humility to call other doctors and ask for second and third opinions, all for the sake of my little daughter. This will never be forgotten.

He was very attentive and gave us some possible causes, and together with my wife (who spends the most time with the baby and therefore knows her best), we came to some possible conclusions. He reassured us about her navel problem and made it clear that we have to monitor the case, but that she is fine.

I believe that the entire Fife community should be proud of a professional like Dr Duggan.

Here is an important message: Together, doctors and parents are stronger! And as long as everyone is rowing in the same direction, everyone wins.

Thanks Dr Duggan, you're a special doctor!

Kind regards
