A Note to Parents

Personal Message from Dr. Mahesh

“As a pediatrician, I’ve learned that caring for a child means caring for the whole family. When a child has allergies, parents carry the worry too.

My goal is not just to treat symptoms, but to restore peace of mind – so children can enjoy childhood without fear.

Every family is unique, and I take time to understand your concerns because one-size-fits-all care doesn’t work.

If you want a pediatrician who truly listens, I’d be honored to help your family.

Your child deserves to thrive, not just survive.

Warm regards,
Dr. Mahesh Katre”

Dr. Mahesh is a very kind and attentive doctor, and our children trust him and always come to see him for checkups. When the pharmacy was unable to provide the prescribed medication, he quickly changed it to a different medication so that the medication could be picked up smoothly at the pharmacy. Also, when we contacted him about our children's symptoms, he responded as soon as he confirmed them, which was very reassuring and we are very grateful.

Dr Mahesh Katre has been amazing with my sons treatment. We travelled all the way from England to treat my sons eczema, this doctor was very friendly, calm and showed he had a lot of knowledge and experience. He provides follow up appointments making sure the treatment is working. He always makes time for his patients no long waiting time for consultations or results. We would also like to thank the nmc nurses who tried very hard with getting bloods from a 1year old child. It is a shame nmc do not allow appointments over video call once we return to England as this would have been very helpful rather than using the NHS or private health care in the UK.
