Experienced doctors
We are a group of highly qualified Consultants who have been in practice for decades. Individually and collectively, we have a wealth of experience in general paediatrics and child health and have dealt with a whole range of medical problems, whether minor, major, common or rare. We manage general as well as complex paediatric patients and work closely with a large number of paediatric subspecialists. Our focus is always on your welfare and helping your child along the road to recovery.
Services
We practise evidence-based medicine, using the very latest advances in healthcare. Every day our Consultants hold paediatric outpatient clinics and, where necessary, provide in-patient medical care. Our services cover a wide spectrum of paediatric medical and health-related matters and we have access to a large network of paediatric-related specialists, medical, surgical and professionals allied to medicine. When needed, we can help with the transition to adult medical services ensuring your child benefits from seamless uninterrupted care.
We Are Here For You
As parents ourselves, we’ve experienced the concerns we all have about our children’s health. We know the kind of service we’d like to experience and we make sure that’s what everyone who comes to our clinic receives. Our paediatricians are on hand to assess your child and offer advice, while our support team can be on hand to answer any queries you have. After your visit, we will continue to provide support as part of our “after-visit” service and maintain your child’s health records safely should they need to be accessed in the future.
The Practice
Established by Dr Ahmed Massoud in 2001, our clinicians at Starlight Paediatrics provide holistic medical care for children up to the age of 18. We cover a wide spectrum of general paediatric conditions, ranging from acute medical problems to routine check-ups, newborn examinations, childhood immunisations, and any problems encountered in infancy, childhood or their teenage years. For 15 years in a row, Starlight Paediatrics has been the no 1 paediatric user of The Portland Hospital, the largest private paediatric facility in the UK.
In 2019 and after 30 years in private paediatric practice at The Fysh Practice, Dr John Fysh joined Starlight Paediatrics as a Senior Consultant.
In everything we do, we focus on what’s good for you, your family and your child.

Holistic Personal Approach
We know that every case is different, so we record your child’s medical, social and family history and conduct a thorough physical examination. If indicated, we request targeted investigations and fully discuss our management plan with you and, when appropriate, your child. We address the medical problem and take into consideration your child’s psychological, social, and educational wellbeing. We understand the impact of an illness on the entire family, so we’re always there to provide emotional as well as medical support.

Every course of treatment is a journey and we’ll be there to support you at every point along the way. Our support staff are readily available to assist before, during and after the clinic visits.
