I am both a Specialist Paediatrician and an Infectious Diseases Specialist. I welcome the full and diverse spectrum of paediatric medical and developmental problems and enjoy seeing young people of all ages, from newborn to adolescent.

My particular interests include

·       paediatric infectious diseases

·       neonatal medicine

I am an accredited paediatrician with Burnside War Memorial Hospital and very much enjoy caring for newborns in the maternity unit. I provide follow-up care for these babies in my practice for developmental and health checks and for any concerns that may arise.

I consult at Prosper Paediatrics rooms at Toorak Gardens on the east side of Burnside Hospital in Moore Street.

I balance my private practice with a public appointment in the area of infectious diseases in SA health (CDCB) and with a busy family life.

I trained for my Fellowship in General Paediatrics and Infectious Diseases with the Adelaide Women’s and Children’s Hospital and was admitted into the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, Paediatric Division, in 2012.

Before moving to Adelaide with my young family, I attained my initial Fellowship in the UK’s MRCPCH (Member of the Royal College of Paediatrics at Child Health) following training in the UK and some initial training in India.

I can consult fluently in English and various Indian languages, including Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam.

my Neonatal care fee gap schedule:

The gap is the portion of my fees not covered by standard Medicare rebates or, if for admitted care, your health fund’s remittance.

Most families are eligible for substantial additional Medicare Safety Net rebates, which further reduce these standard gaps. Please contact my Accounts or Practice Manager for further information.

MY NEONATAL CARE FEE GAP SCHEDULE:

The gap is the portion of my fees not covered by standard Medicare rebates or, if for admitted care, your health fund’s remittance. Most families will be eligible for additional Safety Net rebates to further reduce the size of this gap.

The maximum out-of-pocket cost for your account will be $600. ($850 max for twins)

• This gap may apply where an attendance to your baby is unplanned but necessary and urgent.

• Families should budget for this in case this kind of attendance is needed.

  Otherwise, if no unplanned attendance is needed during your baby’s stay, your maximum gap will be

  • $500 where initial attendance to baby is at a planned elective procedure (e.g. elective C-section) or

  • $350, where all attendances to your baby after delivery are routine or within normal rounds.

I conduct my private practice in association and with the supporting services of Prosper Paediatrics. With their expertise and skills in administration, economics, law and design, they are able to help me in my practice to deliver the best care possible and to manage my private clinical responsibilities with my family and my public work. I have consulted with and engaged them so that I can have consistently well-designed policies, procedures and practice environment to help deliver correct, consistent and excellent patient care.
