Meet Your Virtual Paediatrician
Meet Dr Esi Ikazoboh
Your virtual paediatrician
Hello, I am Dr Esi Ikazoboh-Osezua, a consultant paediatrician with over 15 years of experience caring for babies, children and adolescents
I have worked with children and families across a wide range of settings, supporting everything from common everyday infections to more complex, long term health conditions. Over the years, one thing has become very clear to me: parents are doing their best while juggling a lot, and accessing paediatric care should make life easier, not harder.
That is exactly why I created Virtual Child Health.
My approach to caring for children
Child centred
Every child is unique, and their care should reflect that.
Family focused
I work in partnership with parents and carers, so you feel heard, informed and involved.
Holistic
I consider your child’s physical health, emotional wellbeing, development and family context.
Preventive
I am passionate about promoting wellbeing and preventing illness, not just treating problems when they arise.
Care at home
Why virtual paediatrics?
Many parents tell me that getting to the hospital or clinic is a challenge, especially when:
-
You are working or caring for more than one child.
-
You live far away from specialist centres.
-
Your child is unwell and tired.
-
You are not sure if the problem is serious enough to justify the journey, but you still feel worried.
Virtual Child Health brings expert paediatric care to you at home.
Virtual paediatrics allows you to:
-
Speak to a consultant paediatrician without travelling or waiting in busy clinics.
-
Book appointments at times that fit around your family’s routine.
-
Help your child feel more relaxed in their own environment.
-
Access follow up and ongoing support more easily.
When needed, I work closely with secondary and tertiary paediatric specialists and allied health professionals, so that your child can be referred seamlessly for in person or specialist care.
