Do you see children?
What clinics and practices need to publish
A parent needs to establish suitability before booking, and a wrong assumption wastes an appointment.
How customers actually ask it
The same intent arrives in wording your page probably does not use. All of these mean the same thing:
- “Do you see children?”
- “paediatric”
- “minimum age”
- “can I bring my child”
- “family appointments”
What a complete answer contains
For clinics and practices specifically, an answer is only complete when it covers all 5:
- 1
The minimum age you see, stated numerically
- 2
Whether a parent or guardian must attend, and up to what age
- 3
Which practitioners have relevant paediatric qualifications
- 4
Whether consent requirements differ for under-16s
- 5
Whether facilities are suitable, such as pushchair access
A worked example
Illustrative — not a real business
We see patients from age 5. A parent or guardian must attend for anyone under 16 and provide consent. Two of our clinicians hold paediatric qualifications and appointments are booked with them by default for under-12s.
Which page should own it
Services page
What silence costs
Parents book elsewhere rather than ask, so an unstated policy costs the whole family's custom.

AI customer support for healthcare practices
Most calls to a practice are logistics, not medicine: opening hours, what a visit costs, which insurance is accepted, what to bring. RubyRep answers those from your website so reception can focus on patients in front of them — and it stays firmly out of clinical advice.

What is AI customer service?
AI customer service means answering customer questions with a language model rather than a person. The useful implementations are grounded in a specific business's own content; the poor ones let a general model improvise, which produces confident answers that are wrong.

What is a knowledge base?
Traditionally a knowledge base is a help centre humans read. For AI support it is the source material a representative answers from — which means an ordinary website, well written, can serve as one without a separate help centre.
Does your site answer this already?
