Dr Chaban, Consultant Paediatrician: “It is important to me that children feel entirely at ease”
Overview
As a young family, there is no shortage of reasons to visit Chelsea. No doubt one of the lesser known gems is at 90 Sloane Street where Dr Badr Chaban - Paediatric and Neonatal Consultant - has recently set up shop. It's an unassuming location that looks more like a boutique hotel than a doctor's office. Still, perched on the 4th floor is a considered office that feels more like a living room - carefully designed to make little ones feel at home.
Views and value
It's easy to find yourself distracted by stunning, calm views over the park. On arrival, it was immediately clear that Chaban had a strong sense of what his patients expected - something private, simple, informed... a sort of elegant healthcare that is hard to come by. Chaban and practice alike exude a sort of classic - the kind you might expect in a 1980s film, though offset by the most modern healthcare imaginable (like the on-site lab-grade testing facilities allowing for rapid testing results that can take days elsewhere).
It's all very telling of Chaban's approach. "It is important to me that children feel entirely at ease... we all know that doctors can be intimidating! That's why the space is designed to feel like someone's home, not like a clinic. When the child is relaxed, parents can relax, and helping parents feel like they have the right information to make good decisions for their children is a big part of my approach to care." It all stacks up, with many patients receiving what can basically be described as 24/7 on-call support from Chaban.
A vision for the future
"As a parent myself, I know how unsettling it can be to have sick children. It's even harder when parents don't get the support they need, like when they have to run around speaking with different specialists for different healthcare needs." Chaban, a former NHS consultant neonatologist who trained at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, is on a path to make pediatric care easy and joyful. Working with Dr Chaban means having a single point of contact... a concierge of sorts... for a range of pediatric needs.
