Dr Donald L Butler MBBS FRACP 1 Zoe Place, Mount Druitt, New South Wales 2770

Welcome to Dr Donald L Butler MBBS FRACP, located in Mount Druitt, Zoe Place. Our institution is a trusted and reputable establishment in the field of health, specifically as a General Paediatrician specializing in behavioural conditions, particularly ADHD and anxiety.

At Dr Donald L Butler, we believe in the importance of optimizing medical treatment for these conditions. We view medication as a tool, much like surgeons use scalpels in the operating theater. However, the treatment of these conditions requires a collaborative approach, involving parents, teachers, counselors, psychologists, and physicians.

Our ultimate goal is to ensure that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Just as it is standard practice to diagnose poor eyesight or hearing loss early to prevent any disadvantages, we believe it is equally important to address issues such as concentration, staying on task, and managing distractions. These skills are vital for a child's development and their ability to tackle difficult problems.

We understand that many children find change, new situations, and being noticed to be stressful, which can lead to school refusal, social isolation, and even tantrums and panic attacks. These challenges are more common than mild hearing loss or visual impairment and can have long-term consequences on a child's life.

While hyperactive and oppositional behaviors are more obvious, difficulties with concentration, poor short-term memory, and anxiety can have just as severe an impact on an individual. Our institution sees many children with ADHD, ODD, autism, and developmental delay, but we believe that many others would benefit from improved concentration or assistance with excessive shyness and anxiety.

Our approach in behavioural paediatrics is to enhance the thinking part of the brain, enabling it to take control of behavior instead of being impulsive, reactive, or driven by emotions such as anxiety, sadness, or anger.

At Dr Donald L Butler, we are committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate care for children with behavioral conditions. Our experienced team is dedicated to helping children overcome challenges and thrive in all aspects of their lives.
