About Dr Silvia Pierini

Dr Silvia Pierini is an internationally recognised consultant paediatrician, specialising in general paediatrics, neonatology, newborn physical examination, infant nutrition, infections, milk intolerance, and breastfeeding. She currently practices at her private clinic in central London, the Dr Silvia Pierini Clinic, providing comprehensive care for children from birth through adolescence. Fluent in English and Italian, and conversational in Spanish, Dr Pierini offers same-day emergency appointments and telephone support for families whose children are too unwell to travel.

Dr Pierini received her medical degree from the University of Pisa in 1991, graduating summa cum laude. She completed her specialisation in general paediatrics at the University of Pisa in 1996, and earned a qualification as a General Practitioner from the University of Florence in 1999. She further pursued a Master in Neonatal Intensive Therapy from the University of Padua in 2004 and became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2007.

Before establishing her private clinic, Dr Pierini practised extensively in Italy and, following her relocation to the UK in 2010, worked at St Thomas’ Hospital, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, and other NHS trusts, eventually becoming a consultant at University of Cambridge West Suffolk Hospital in 2015. With over 30 years of experience, she combines expert clinical knowledge with a personalised approach, supporting families at every stage of a child’s development.

We found Dr Silvia after multiple visits to other GPs who did not take the symptoms of my child seriously. Dr Silvia listened to all our concerns patiently and provided a solution to trial, and our baby was a completely different baby since. We are very grateful for Dr Silvia’s professionalism and compassion and would highly recommend her.

My son was extremely scared about having his vaccine, so we asked her to distract him and keep the process as discreet as possible. She handled the situation wonderfully and was very reassuring throughout. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate. My son absolutely loves her, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and professional paediatrician.

Dr. Pierini is truly exceptional. From the moment you walk into her office, you feel cared for not only as a patient, but as part of a family. She is compassionate, attentive, and deeply committed to the well-being of both her patients and their families as a whole. I have been seeing Dr. Pierini since we moved to the neighborhood a few years ago, and she has been nothing short of wonderful through every emergency, milestone, and question that has come up for our family. Her professionalism, warmth, and genuine dedication consistently give us peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful to have found such a caring and trustworthy gp
