About
Dr Gautam Kulkarni is passionate about paediatrics and is happy to see children for a specialist opinion from birth up to 18 years of age. His specialist clinics are in allergy and neurology.

He has an interest in managing pain such as headaches and tummy aches in children.
Recently he has increased the scope of his practice to include adolescent health, given that healthcare issues affecting teenagers and young adults are particularly unique and need a different approach.
