Mr Buddhdev had an amazing rapport with my son. He was able to clearly explain his concerns and reassure my son whilst devising a care plan that was thorough and appropriate. My son left having had a fun encounter- all that I can ask for from a paediatrician! As a parent I left reassured with all my questions answered with a clear plan for the future. Would highly recommend to friends and colleagues

Always very friendly, professional and contactable if needed. Really good with dealing with my baby (the patient) who now is a toddler. This was a sign off appointment for my daughter after she was refered from Basildon Hospital to the consultant. Myself and my partner cannot thank him enough. My daughter was in a hip brace and almost had to have an operation which was not needed thanks to this consultant. Mr Buddhdev is an absolute credit to the NHS and represents the service so well unlike so many NHS employees sadly. Given the man a bonus! :)

As #TheKidsBoneDoc, I understand the challenges parents face when their little ones are in casts. It’s crucial to keep them dry and free from any loose objects. These seemingly harmless items can lead to serious complications like pressure sores, cuts, infections, and more.This reel highlights some eye-opening discoveries from my practice – metal coins, plastic toys, magnets, and pen lids, all found inside casts! 😲 Let’s ensure a smooth healing journey for your child. If you have any concerns about your child’s cast care, don’t hesitate to reach out for a private consultation. Together, we’ll prioritize their comfort and recovery. 💪💚 #TheKidsBoneDoc #CastCareTips #FractureCare #PaediatricOrthopaedics #Fractures #Injuries #Casting"

The Burden of Hip Disease in Children 👶🏻👧🏼

The Burden of Hip Disease in Children 👶🏻👧🏼

👨‍⚕️ Today we shed light on the importance of raising awareness about diseases that affect our little ones’ hips including as Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (#DDH), #Perthes disease, and Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (#SUFE). 💪👶 As parents, caregivers, and medical professionals, we have a crucial role to play in ensuring the hip health of our children. By detecting these conditions early, we can intervene and provide the necessary treatment to support their growth, mobility, and overall well-being. 🚶‍♀️ 🔍 In this video reel, I wanted to take a moment to explain why my work in paediatric hip disease is so important to me. Through years of experience, continuous learning, and a passion for helping children, I have witnessed the life-changing impact of early diagnosis and appropriate management. 🏥💡 By educating ourselves and others about these conditions, we empower ourselves to recognize the signs, seek timely medical attention, and ultimately improve outcomes for our little patients. Together, we can create a community of support and understanding around paediatric hip health. 🌍🎗️ Let’s join hands on this International Hip Health Day and spread the word. Share this video reel and help us raise awareness about the significance of paediatric hip disease. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our beloved children. ❤️And of course if you know someone who has a child with a condition impacting their hips, reach out on www.thekidsbonedoc.com to book a consultation! 📞 07415 415260 #InternationalHipHealthDay #TheKidsBoneDoc #PaediatricOrthopaedics #ChildrensHealth #HipHealthAwareness #HealthyHipsForOurKids #EarlyDetectionMatters #ChildhoodWellBeing #CaringForOurFuture

📢🌍 Today is INTERNATIONAL SCOLIOSIS AWARENESS DAY ! 🌍📢

📢🌍 Today is INTERNATIONAL SCOLIOSIS AWARENESS DAY ! 🌍📢

oday I want to raise awareness about #scoliosis, a condition that affects the spinal health of our little superheroes. Let’s dive right in and learn some important facts! 🌟 Scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve sideways. Early detection is key! 👀 Look out for signs like uneven shoulders, a prominent shoulder blade, or an uneven waist. If your child’s clothes don’t fit properly or they complain of back pain, it’s time to get it checked out. ⏰ Early screening is crucial! Regular check-ups help us catch scoliosis early, allowing for the most effective treatment options. 🌟 Management methods vary based on severity and age. From exercises and physical therapy to bracing or surgery for severe cases, personalised care is essential. 📞 Book a consultation with me today to ensure your child receives expert care and support for their spinal health. Together, we can make a difference! www.thekidsbonedoc.com or ☎️ 07415 415260 💙 Share this post with friends and family to spread the word and empower others. Knowledge is power! Let’s stand tall and strong against scoliosis! 🌈✨
