Hello, I'm Dr Shiri Lejay
Consultant Paediatrician · MB · MRCPCH · DTM&H · LFHom (Med) · PGCert (Med Ed)
As a paediatrician and a mother, I understand how overwhelming it can feel to make sense of your child's health — especially with so much conflicting information. I'm here to help you cut through the noise with clear, practical advice, so you can feel calm and confident about what to do next.
Support for every stage
Whether you have a specific worry or simply want reassurance that everything is on track, I support families across all areas of general paediatrics.
…or simply when something just doesn't feel right.
Working together
Personalised, unhurried consultations for non-urgent concerns — in clinic, remotely, or in the comfort of your own home.
Care in a familiar, stress-free environment — particularly helpful in the newborn period and early infancy, when leaving home feels like a lot.
Practical, hands-on sessions like infant first aid and basic life support — so you feel prepared, not panicked, when it matters most.
Every family's circumstances are different. If cost is a barrier, please get in touch — I'm always happy to talk through fees, packages and any special arrangements.
Postnatal package excludes vaccine costs. See full fees at Central Health →
