I thought of penning some information on paediatricians around Tippasandra, Old Airport Road and Indira Nagar area. There are different types of paediatricians
1. Consultant Paediatrician – these are the doctors whom we consult when a child has any basic illness say it cold, fever, cough, or we wanna get the child vaccinated.
2. Developmental Paediatrician – these are doctors who specialise on the child’s developmental area who help parents to address child’s developmental delay/milestones and refer to various therapies as required
3. Paediatric Neurologist- these doctors are different from the adult neurologist and specialise in paediatric neurological issues like seizures/convulsions, problems arising due to children deformities, genetic issues etc
Dr. Santhosh Kumar – Consultant Paediatrician
He is quite an experienced man with a good heart who doesn’t concentrate only on the time is money concept unlike other doctors. He takes his time to understand and hear from the parents and guides perfectly well. I give him thumbs up! I rate him 4 on 5. He consults in
Amar Jyothi Nursing Home,
491C, Sripadmavathi, 1st Stage, Indiranagar, Bangalore – 560 038
Ph: 41254975, 25280805
Dr. Praveen Baliga – Consultant Paediatrician
He was our paediatric consultant for my older daughter and he is known to be one of the good doctors around Tippasandra. As we consulted him for our older daughter we continued consulting him for our younger one as well, but somehow being a paediatrician he failed to identify her spasms and his knowledge with respect to seizures and developmental delay seemed to be low. Though he was not able to identify and help us snap out with our daughter’s problem he at least had the presence of mind to refer us to a developmental paediatrician. Good for basics like cough, cold, vaccinations etc. I rate him 2 on 5. He owns a clinic
Children’s Clinic

Dr.Mahadeviah – Developmental Paediatrician
He is a developmental paediatrician who looks into the achievement of the developmental milestones of a child and probably guides the parent. These doctors look if a child has any physical problem say tone (hypo tone / hyper tone (spastic) etc) or birth problem like Cerebral Palsy or any developmental disorder and recommend for appropriate therapies. What in general I felt from these doctors is everyone wants to stick to time is money concept and doesn’t want to educate the parent/give them more information. If there is a delay in a child then there is positively 90% a reason associated with it. The significance of how this delay would affect the child’s development isn’t explained or brought to the parent’s knowledge – that’s just insane. I rate him a 1 on 5. He consults in
Specialist Clinic,
No. 37, SBI Road, (Behind St.Mark’s Rd, India garage), Bangalore – 560 001

Dr. Nandini Mundkur – Developmental Paediatrician
I havent met her, but she was given as a reference and heard she is very good. She consults in
Centre for Child Development, Chitrapura Bhavan
8th Main, 15th Cross, Malleswaram, Bangalore -560003
Dr. Taranath Shetty – Paediatric Neurologist
He is an experienced elderly man with way good knowledge and experience. He is one of the leading paediatric neurologists in India; I feel he is one of the best. But wherever we go the more we ask the more we are informed and clarified; so I suggest better do their homework on internet to learn the basics of the problem which the child has and try to clarify with the doctor to understand their conditions better. I rate him 4 on 5. He consults in
Manipal Hospital,
98, HAL Airport Road, Bangalore – 560 017
Ph: 91 80 2502 4444/3344
In European/western countries doctors should in detail explain the parents/caregivers the patient’s scenario and discuss the medicines and its side effects and then proceed. Wish the scenario in India as well improves and doctors as well give more information and enlighten the patient community.
