The most caring, empathetic and thorough paediatrician
The most caring, empathetic, and thorough paediatrician I have ever met. I have brought both of my children to Dr Kulkarni, as I trust his knowledge and judgement. I would highly recommend Dr Kulkarni.

'Amazing' Doctor
'Amazing' is how my daughter has described her experience. Dr Kulkarni has been our doctor for 5 years now and i would highly recommend his services. Every time we needed to consult him for various issues with our littles one, he has been there to take the time to discuss via the phone and/or in office to address all queries from cause, symptoms, treatments, recommendations, follow ups, scans etc As all mothers i have trouble sleeping at night when the kids are unwell or facing health concerns, Dr Kulkarni has always been able to explain and ease my worries with action plan and results, I always feel a huge relief leaving his office. He is also very friendly towards the children and they develop their own doctor/child relationship and not afraid of him which is a massive bonus avoiding upsets and tantrums, my children are confortable with Dr Kulkarni and so are we. Dont hesitate no more, call and book, also his secretary is very helpful, kind and on the ball ; ) Thank you Doctor.

Excellent care, advice and support
Dr Kulkarni has seen both my children in recent months. My daughter has met a lot of medical professionals and Dr Kulkarni is her favourite. He’s attentive, we’re never rushed, he speaks directly to my children, they feel listened to and validated as he addresses their medical concerns. What’s important is that they don’t feel dismissed but equally he can set their minds at ease when the issue can be sorted easily. I am so grateful for the determination and continuous follow-up that Dr Kulkarni has offered us. He has helped direct us to the support they both need and based on our regular communication with him I am confident that if needed, he will provide us with excellent care and support again.

WHAT DO WE DO?
All the children's medical services you need, in one place
We don't see children for diagnosis of ADHD / Autism / Developmental delay / behavioural issues
Need a consultation?
We are happy to look after all children and Teenagers for a consultation, regardless of the query . We do request a GP referral or insurance authorisation if you are a new patient
The best way to book an appointment is to contact the clinic directly as each clinic operates a different system.
Emergency appointments?
We always offer urgent appointments to our patients as far as possible. Emergencies however are best managed through the A&E setting.
For new patients who haven't seen us before; his may not always be possible; but we do try our best.
Develop long term relations
While many problems we deal with can be sorted quickly, families ususally prefer developing long term relationships till their children start University!
Its fun to see children now whose parents used to be patients of mine!
Payment & Fees
A Paediatric Consultation involves a Holistic approach. We request all new patients have a GP referral for continuity of care.
This means that we can share information regarding any investigations and treatment plan.
New Consultation - £175 - £200 ( depending on complexity )
Follow up Consultation - £125 - £150
Following your consultation, you will receive an invoice with bank details regarding payment.
To explain the billing process, when a patient attends a private hospital, two invoices are normally raised. Consultants are self-employed/self-accounting and raise their own invoices for consultation and procedure fees.
In addition to consultant invoices, the Private Hospitals also invoice for the services provided i.e. X RAYS, drugs, testing, consumables etc. This should be paid directly to them and they will send out a separate invoice.
You can pay our innoice by card by using the Pay now link below; though we recommend a bank transfer

You will be able print off a receipt following your transaction, and one will also be immediately emailed to you
