Dr. Rine Benson. T

Developmental Pediatrics

Dr. Rine Benson T is a qualified Developmental Paediatrician at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, Chennai, holding DNB (Paediatrics) and FIAP, Fellow of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics, a distinction recognising significant contribution to the field of child health in India. His focused practice in Neurodevelopmental and Behavioural Paediatrics places him among Chennai’s dedicated specialists for children with developmental, behavioural, and language-related concerns.

Neurodevelopmental Paediatrics bridges general paediatric medicine and child development, addressing conditions that affect how a child’s brain develops, communicates, learns, and behaves. Early, accurate identification of conditions like autism, ADHD, and speech delay is critical, as timely intervention during the brain’s most receptive developmental window leads to significantly better outcomes. Dr. Rine Benson’s training and clinical focus are built around exactly this: catching concerns early, diagnosing accurately, and guiding families toward the right support.

Available on Thursdays and Saturdays from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, Dr. Rine Benson T offers dedicated developmental consultations for children whose needs extend beyond routine paediatric care. His afternoon slots are especially convenient for school-going children, making expert developmental assessment accessible without disrupting the school day.
