Dr Shiri supported us thoroughly during our daughter’s first year. During such a life-changing time in our lives, she showed a great deal of empathy and guided us carefully, always offering options and helping us choose what would work best for our baby and our family’s circumstances. She is an amazing professional who is always keen to help, and having her with us during that journey truly changed our experience for the better. Most recently, we sought her advice about our now toddler, and she was just as patient and attentive. She examined her with the utmost care and respect and made Maya feel very comfortable during the appointment. Thank you for everything, Dr Shiri.

We are first time parents and navigating the life with a newborn can be scary and anxiety inducing. Thanks to Shiri’s patience, calming presence and precise knowledge we had the best support we could ask for. She really took the time to answer all our questions thoroughly and precisely. She is as passionate and dedicated to her profession as she is knowledgeable, and that’s a LOT! She never judges and respects each parents approach, encouraging confidence. I cannot recommend her enough.

Shiri is such a wonderful paediatrician! She always took a lot of time to listen to our questions and answer in a clear, pedagogical way, which I found to be very empowering as parents. She is very warm and playful and our baby was very comfortable around her. Thanks for everything, Shiri!

Dr Shiri did a home visit for our infant to advise us about feeding and growth plans. She was really professional and yet friendly, really thorough with the questions and examination, and overall very very empathetic and helpful. Her timely intervention helped clarify the conflicting bits of advice we had received from multiple places, and her responsive approach gave us as new parents, immense relief and reassurance. We love the feeling that she’s always there for us and happily continue to consult her regularly!!

Dr. Shiri is truly amazing! She is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also one of the most compassionate doctors I’ve ever met. She takes the time to listen, explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand, and makes you feel completely at ease. Her kindness and dedication go above and beyond, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her patients’ well-being. I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Shiri, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a doctor who combines expertise with a warm and caring approach.

We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Shiri. She was always reassuring and available to give us advice seven days a week whenever we had doubts. Her support was especially important in the early days with our new baby, when we had so many questions and needed guidance. Dr. Shiri also visited us at home, which always made a huge difference, as we believe that our baby felt much more relaxed being examined in a familiar environment rather than a clinic. All of our appointments with her have been excellent, and she has consistently advised us on the best course of action for our baby’s health and wellbeing. We are very grateful for her care and dedication.
