Dr. Ravikumar. K

Pediatrician

Dr. K. Ravikumar is a qualified Pediatrician at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, Chennai, holding DNB (Paediatrics), a nationally recognised postgraduate qualification reflecting structured, board-certified training in comprehensive child healthcare. His practice spans a broad range of paediatric subspecialty interests, including child development, nutrition, infectious diseases, dermatology, and allergy and asthma, making him a well-rounded clinician capable of addressing the diverse health needs of children under one roof.

Dr. Ravikumar’s particular strength lies in the breadth of his clinical focus. Many childhood concerns, from eczema and food allergies to recurring infections and growth issues, sit at the intersection of multiple specialties. His combined expertise across these areas means families in Chennai can access a paediatrician who takes a holistic view of the child’s health rather than addressing concerns in isolation.

Available from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM Monday through Saturday at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, Dr. Ravikumar’s afternoon clinic hours are ideally suited for school-going children and families who prefer post-noon appointments. Parents across Chennai trust him for thorough, accessible, and evidence-based paediatric care.
