Private Paediatric Neurologists in London
Access the paediatric neurology support your child needs
What is a Paediatric Neurologist?
A paediatric neurologist is a medical professional who specialises in neurological conditions in children from birth to 18 years of age. A neurological condition is a disorder that affects the nervous system (your brain, spinal cord and nerves).
At Dementech Neurosciences, our specialist team of private paediatric neurologists provide comprehensive consultations and personalised diagnostic pathways and management plans for children with a range of neurological conditions.
We’re committed to your child’s safety and put them at the forefront of everything we do.
Diagnosing neurological conditions in children
Our broad range of advanced diagnostic techniques ensures your child receives an accurate diagnosis. We use state-of-the-art technology in a relaxing, child-friendly environment to fully support your child throughout the process.
The diagnostic tests that our team of private paediatric neurologists use include:
- MRI scans: MRI scans allow your paediatric neurologist to check and detect any structural abnormalities or lesions in the brain
- Electroencephalography (EEG): EEG helps us study brain activity and identify epileptic or seizure-related abnormalities
- Neurophysiological tests: We examine nerve function through neurophysiological testing.Genetic testing: This helps us to diagnose or rule
- out neurogenetic disorders
- Neurophysiological assessments: Neurophysiological assessments allow us to identify any cognitive and behavioural differences.
What neurological conditions do we assess and diagnose?
Our highly skilled paediatric neurologists can assess and diagnose various neurological conditions.
We can diagnose and assess:
- Headaches
- Developmental delays
- Autism
- Epilepsy
- Stroke
- Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Dyslexia
- Brain tumours
- Movement disorders

Treatment and management plans for neurological disorders in children
Neurological conditions aren’t always curable, but we provide effective treatment approaches and management plans to support your child’s health and wellbeing.
Some of the treatment and management plans our paediatric neurologists can provide are:
- Medication: We can use different medicines to manage symptoms such as seizures in epilepsy. Sometimes, your child may need to try other medications at varying doses until we find the right one for their needs. Our paediatric neurologists will always support them.
- Behavioural therapy: This can help address behavioural and developmental challenges in conditions like autism.
- Neurorehabilitation: Personalised programmes help your child grow and improve their motor skills and functional abilities. This might include paediatric occupational therapy for your child.
- Dietary and nutritional advice: Some neurological conditions like epilepsy may benefit from guidance on nutrition and specific diets to avoid seizures.
- Surgical interventions: We perform surgery when necessary for conditions such as tumours and epilepsy.
At Dementech, our private paediatric neurologists take a multidisciplinary approach to neurological conditions, ensuring your child receives tailored care and support based on their needs.
When should I book a private neurological assessment for my child?

“Dementech Neurosciences is a relatively new clinic specialising in the scientific assessment and treatment of Parkinson’s Disease. It represents a significant development in the treatment of Parkinson’s and has done a great job of establishing itself and its reputation in a short period of time. The premises are extremely well situated in central London, the consultant neurologists are all at the top of their field in their specialisation of the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease, and the clinical and administrative staff are of a similar standard. The atmosphere of the clinic is positive and the results, in the short period of time I have been able to assess, have been similarly positive.”

“Have had nothing but kindness and professionalism from Dementech and all their staff. From their initial guidance by Shakeela, through to staff conducting the MRI tests and Dr. Lucio D’Anna for his expertise clarity of explanation, compassion and consideration. Special mention to Zobia, who saved the day with her quick thinking that helped my mother-in-law to obtain extended care. Overall a perfect experience. Cannot recommend them enough.”
