Dr Lexi
I’m a paediatrician and educator who is passionate about children’s health, development and wellbeing. I aim to support, empower and inspire families to better understand their child’s medical and developmental issues so they know when and where to seek help.
Currently, I am based at Victorian Children’s Clinic, a multidisciplinary private paediatric practice which I co-founded in 2013 and a large paediatric public hospital in Melbourne.
