General Paediatric Consultation

At Monash Obstetrics, the general paediatricians provide comprehensive paediatric services designed to support the health and well-being of children from birth through adolescence. They are dedicated to delivering high-quality care that addresses the physical, emotional, and developmental needs of each child. They offer routine well-child check-ups and developmental screenings to ensure your child is growing and developing properly. They also provide guidance on nutrition, safety, and preventive health care to help families establish healthy lifestyles from an early age.

In addition to routine care, the paediatricians are skilled in diagnosing and managing a wide range of acute and chronic illnesses. Whether your child is experiencing common childhood ailments such as ear infections, asthma, or skin conditions, or more complex health issues, they are equipped to provide effective treatment plans tailored to your child's specific needs. They also specialise in developmental and behavioural assessments, offering diagnosis and management of neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and specific learning disabilities (SLD). They collaborate closely with specialists and allied health professionals when necessary to ensure a comprehensive approach to your child's health care.

Their commitment extends beyond medical treatment; they strive to build lasting relationships with their patients and their families. They understand that parenting can be challenging, and they are here to offer support, education, and resources to help you navigate your child's health journey. From the newborn stage through the teenage years, their goal is to provide a medical home where you and your child feel cared for and confident in the health care you receive.

Please note*

Diagnosing complex developmental disorders such as autism, ADHD, intellectual disability, and learning difficulties requires a thorough and multi-faceted approach. It will typically involve multiple consultations and may necessitate external assessments before a diagnosis can be determined. For more detailed information, please refer to our FAQ page.
