Pediatrician

The first month brings a hundred questions: feeding, sleep, crying, rashes, that thing the baby just did. Structured newborn visits check weight gain, jaundice and development, and give you a calm, evidence-based answer to everything else.

We follow the Indian Academy of Pediatrics schedule, maintain your child's vaccination record digitally, send due-date reminders, and talk through optional vaccines honestly, what each protects against and what we'd choose for our own children.

Growth is the single best indicator of a child's overall health. Every visit plots your child on standard charts, and milestones, motor, speech, social, are screened so any delay gets early intervention, when it helps most.

Most childhood infections are viral and need supportive care, not antibiotics. We examine properly, explain what to watch for at home, and prescribe antibiotics only when the findings genuinely warrant them, protecting your child now and later.

A child who wheezes repeatedly deserves a proper plan, not repeated emergency nebulisation. Inhaler therapy with a spacer is safe, effective and, contrary to the biggest myth in pediatrics, not habit-forming. Most asthmatic children play sport normally once controlled.

Mealtime battles rarely respond to pressure. We rule out medical causes, then work with our dietitian on realistic strategies, food chaining, structured mealtimes, tiffin planning, that improve nutrition without tears on either side.

School complaints, screen battles, speech delay, or a gut feeling that something's different, structured screening separates normal variation from things needing help. Referrals to our speech therapist or psychiatrist happen in-house, without a new hospital to navigate.

Teenagers open up when treated as near-adults. Consultations include private time with the doctor, cover puberty, nutrition, sleep, screens and mood, and stay confidential within the limits of safety, which we explain to both teen and parent.
