Hi can anyone recommend a gastro paediatrican (who does private work) for my little man who has silent reflux, ideally at Kings (as its closest)? I've just moved down and was seeing a great guy at the Royal Free Hampstead but its too far for me to travel with two tots on the bus. Many thanks x

Your GP should be able to recommend someone and will then direct you to the Guthrie Clinic (King's private centre) to make an appointment if they work out of that clinic. Almost all specialists work some of the time for the NHS so your GP should be able to recommend. Alternatively, ask your Royal Free doctor to recommend.


Do you really need to go private?

Thanks Edmummy. No I don't really need to go privately but that all depends on the GP. My last GP didn't really have anything to say as baby was gaining weight etc etc, oh its just colic and will pass, so I had to take things into my own hands. I've asked my old consultant to recommend someone locally and I'm waiting to hear....in the meantime I'm waiting to register with a GP as I don't have 2 proofs of address yet (just moved here)! Crazy and frustrating that they won't register me - all the bills are in my husbands name :)

They should still be able to register your son though, if your husband registers surely? Which doctors are you registering with - DMC have some doctors who are especially good with children & parents, Dr Ngo, Dr Bhatia (sp?), Dr Dallas and Dr Davidson in particular. Also don't assume Kings will necessarily have the best people, many of the children's specialist units operate out of St Thomas's Evelina Childrens unit.


Good luck

Hi Gussy,

My daughter is 4 months old, also with reflux, and is seeing Dr. Martha Ford-Adams at Kings. She is very good and my daughter is much better now that she is on medication (omeprazole 10mg). I'm seeing her via NHS but she told me, she also can see patients privately. The number for her secretary on the NHS is: 020 3299 3560 (ask if she deals with her private appointments or if she can give you the contact for her private secretary).

Good Luck!

      18th Birthday Venue needed

      By eastdulwichavenger · Posted

      Its a few years ago now, but I organised my end of year prom (for year 13) at Off the Cuff in Herne Hill - was on the cheaper side to rent and at that age, felt very cool and clubby. I had my own 18th at Whirled Cinema in Loughborough Junction but I'm not sure if they take event bookings like that anymore

      ‘Welcome’ Donald Trump to Windsor when he arrives there tomorrow (Tuesday 16th September)

      By vladi · Posted

      You are right . It isn't going to change him for the better. Sending such a negative message is potentially counter-productive. Trump is narcissistic, arrogant, unpredictable, spiteful, divisive, and dishonest, with a penchant for a total a disregard for democratic norms.  He is one who bears a grudge so there's a case to be made for not offending him as he could react with a bunch of  adverse actions  such as  deciding to increase import tariffs on UK exports to the US.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
