Dr Melissa Chettiar Paediatrician

I am a specialist paediatrician based at Durdoc Centre and Westville Hospital. I have admission rights at St Augustine Hospital, Parklands Hospital and Shifa Private Hospital. The services I offer include general outpatient care including growth and developmental assessments, vaccinations, management of acute and chronic childhood conditions such as ADHD, Asthma, Allergies, new-born attendance and care as well as care of the critically ill child.
Paediatrics is a discipline that deals with biological, social and environmental influences on the developing child and with the impact of disease and dysfunction on development. Children differ from adults anatomically, psychologically and developmentally. I have a created a warm friendly environment in my rooms to make the parents and children feel safe and comfortable. I try to empower parents with a knowledge and understanding of their child’s illness, thus reducing parent anxiety, by understanding the natural course of the illness over time, knowing when to get concerned and when to follow up.
