Please email me if you have any queries
As a parent, you want to ensure that your child
receives the best care at all times.
With more than 30 years of experience as a children's
doctor I can provide expert medical advice, and care, for your
child's health, well being and development.
As a private patient I can assess your baby child or
adolescent promptly and at a convenient time, in a
child-centred environment.
I am based in Harley Street and my clinics are
conveniently located in central London at two world-renowned
institutions the Portland Hospital
and the Cromwell Hospital.
My professional fee is based on the time I spend, before, during and after a consultation.
My fee does not include the cost of tests, prescriptions or vaccines - which you will need to settle directly with the Hospital or Pharmacy.
For more information please visit the 'Fees' page.
* A prolonged or complex consultation, or one which necessitates additional work before or after the consultation, may incur an extra charge of £25-£75 (and in exceptional cases more than this). ** A new patient appointment is usually required for the first vaccionation. A lower fee is charged for subsequent vaccinations, if there is no consultation.
Before we meet please email a brief description of your child's problem
In order to keep to time, please arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment, as you will need to complete a registration form
We provide longer appointments than many others so as to give enough time to explore your concerns. Standard new patient appointments are 45 minutes, but a complex consultation may require an hour
I will listen to you, examine your child, and then discuss my diagnosis and management plan
I will email a letter to you with a record of what we have discussed and send a copy to your General Practitioner (GP)
Following an appointment I may ask you to keep me updated by email
Physical examination of children is important and sometimes vital, so I don't recommend a video consultation for a first appointment unless you are only seeking advice
If your child urgently need medical help or advice but it's not a life-threatening situation contact NHS 111 or your nearest Accident & Emergency Department. For immediate, life-threatening emergencies, call the 999 service.
