Brisbane Northside Paediatrics

Brisbane Northside Paediatrics is a private medical practice providing specialist care for newborns, infants, children, and adolescents up to the age of 16. The clinic focuses on delivering comprehensive medical care with an emphasis on the individual healthcare needs of each child. The practice is led by Dr Prasanna Shirkhedkar, a general paediatrician with extensive clinical experience in assessing and treating a wide range of complex conditions in children.

The clinic offers assessments and management for a variety of paediatric issues. Special interests of the practice include developmental and behavioural paediatrics, such as assessing developmental delays, learning difficulties, autism, and ADHD. The service also addresses growth disorders, allergic and immunological conditions, and provides care for neonates and infants. The approach is centred on working in partnership with parents and carers to achieve positive long-term outcomes for children.

As a sole practitioner, part-time practice, the clinic provides a focused and personal service. It operates on a limited schedule, being open two days per week to offer dedicated consultations. This structure allows for a compassionate service that is centred on the child's specific health requirements, temperament, and environment to support them in achieving their best possible health.
