Dr. Uzma Khurram Shaikh

I am a dedicated Pediatric Emergency Specialist with over a decade of clinical experience in pediatrics, including extensive hands-on expertise in managing critically ill and acutely unwell children in high-volume emergency settings. My practice is centered on evidence-based care, patient safety, and family-centered decision-making. Scope of Video Consultation While acute medical emergencies require immediate in-person evaluation in a hospital setting, video consultation can play a vital and supportive role in pediatric care.

I strive to empower parents with the knowledge and confidence to care for their child while ensuring patient safety remains the top priority. Important Note Video consultation is not a substitute for emergency care. In case of severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, altered consciousness, persistent seizures, or significant trauma, please proceed to the nearest emergency department immediately.
