Background

About Dr. Rajesh Kumar

Dr. Kumar trained in paediatrics at Institute of Child Health, Chennai, and spent four years in a paediatric emergency and neonatal unit before moving into community practice. That background shapes how he triages: he would rather see a feverish infant the same morning and send the family home reassured than have them wait three days for a slot.

He keeps consultations unhurried and writes down dosages and the specific warning signs that should bring a child back, because a parent under stress rarely remembers a verbal instruction. Families who have been with him since a first vaccination now bring second and third children to the same clinic.

Same-day appointments for a sick child are held open each morning — call the clinic before 11:00 AM.
