Virtual consultations:
I focus on child and family centered holistic care, and can manage a significant range of conditions for newborn infants to any young person under 18 years of age. Many common and rare conditions can be assessed, investigated, managed or signposted as for a range of mental health, developmental, behavioural conditions that will require a multidisciplinary approach or onward referral.
I am able to provide a face to face consultation (Saturday morning) or virtually if requested (weekdays 6-8 pm) to my outpatient clinic at Spire Alexandra Hospital. Any general medical problems that appear to be impacting on a child’s health following discussion with your GP. I can see self-funded patients as well as insured patients and will always liaise with the GP with regards to short and long-term management and follow-up arrangements.
I can discuss any concerns that you may have in relationship to your child’s health and wellbeing or impact on growth, mental health, social development and education. As parents you should feel empowered to advocate for your child’s health and I will endeavour to listen to all your concerns and hopefully agree with you on the best way forwards.
