We treat a wide range of conditions right from babies with allergies to teenagers wanting to discuss their health issues independently . We promise to provide every service with a smile, and to your highest level of satisfaction.
Allergies are unfortunately on the rise. From milk intolerance in babies, nut allergies in childhood to oral allergy syndrome in adolescents; allergies if undetected or managed inappropriately can have significant consequences. The diagnosis is based on a careful history, selection of investigations and distinction between true allergy, intolerances and sensitisation. Patient Education along with a management plan forms the basis of treatment.
Hayfever
From oral antihistaminics and nasal steroids to SLIT (sublingual immune therapy), the options for treating hayfever have increased rapidly. Together we can find a solution best suited for your child and you!
Constipation is an increasingly common problem. With an individualised approach, almost all children can be treated completely. And intolerances in my opinion are amongst the cmmon triggers.
I work closely with some specialist nurses and would strongly encourage going through the presentation below which has some very valuable tips.

Triggers for one of my long suffering patients!
Most episodes in childhood and adolescence of collapse or loss of consciousness are simple faints (vasovagal syncope). These are usually brief and simple lifestyle interventions such as increasing dietary fluid & salt intake along with exercise is all that's needed.
At times, the diagnosis may not be as clear on history itself and other possibilities such as absences "petit mal epilepsy" OR heart rhythm disturbaces "arrhythmia" may need exclusion. Investigations such as an EEG (monitoring electrical activity of the brain) OR ECG may be necessary.
Counselling patients often forms a key principle of therapy & techniques based on CBT "cognitive behavioural Therapy."

A Stellar Paediatrician! A Stellar Paediatrician! We have been consulting Dr Kulkarni from June 2022 for our daughter who was born nearly 5 weeks early. Dr Kulkarni has been absolutely brilliant during each of our visits. From advice as regards milestones, weight gain and feeding to checking and reassuring us about ailments such as rashes, coughs and congestions, Dr Kulkarni has been excellent. As first-time parents, we had been anxious about each of the above. However, on each occasion, Dr Kulkarni has sought to patiently explain all the many queries we have had. Dr Kulkarni is stellar with babies. We could see that he takes his time putting his young patient at ease. Moreover, he has a very comforting manner and is thorough as required with babies so as not to miss anything. Not least, he assuages the fears of anxious parents and puts to rest their concerns however trivial these might seem! Dr Kulkarni really takes the time to listen to the parents, and only then seeks to give appropriate advice. We have always come away from each appointment much reassured and confident. We highly recommend Dr Kulkarni and are very happy to have him as our daughter’s paediatrician. We could not have asked for anything more! A big thank you from two anxious first-time parents.
