5 Best Pediatricians in Sydney (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Elara Kestrel, Health and Medical Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

New parents searching for a pediatrician in Sydney are usually doing it at 2am with a crying baby and a browser tab open, not on a calm afternoon with time to compare. The practices here have logged 402 Google reviews between them, with ratings running from 4.3 up to a perfect 5.0, a wider spread than it first looks.

Short answer: Dr Bithi Roy leads with a perfect 5.0 across 152 reviews, the most on this page, specializing in neonatal and paediatric care at North Shore Private Hospital. Telebaby (4.9, 132 reviews) offers telehealth consultations for families who cannot get a timely in-person appointment. Fees vary by practice and by whether a Medicare rebate applies, so confirm costs when booking.

Our take: The combination of a perfect rating and specialist neonatal training makes this the strongest overall pick, especially for newborn or high-risk cases, though the two-day-a-week schedule means booking ahead matters.

Telebaby is a Sydney-based paediatric telehealth service founded by Dr Samuel Heitner, offering video consultations for newborns, babies and older children across Australia, seven days a week, without needing a GP referral.

  • Reviewers describe getting an appointment within a day when others had long waitlists
  • Doctor personally follows up by phone or email after the consultation
  • No travel needed, useful for families in regional areas
  • Available seven days a week

Our take: The multi-specialist model is useful for more complex or ongoing conditions, though the mixed feedback on one case means it is worth asking direct questions about treatment timelines upfront.

  • A decade of public hospital experience before entering private practice
  • Reviewers describe him performing full examinations without distress to the child
  • Some Saturday appointments available

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the practice’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many families have rated them, ranked against other Sydney paediatric practices. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a score built on over a hundred reviews carries more weight than one built on a dozen. Recency reflects how recently families are still leaving reviews. No practice can pay to change these numbers.

What does a pediatrician visit cost in Sydney? (2026)

Paediatrician fees in Sydney vary by practice and by how much of the fee Medicare rebates, which depends on the type of consultation and whether it is a first visit or a follow-up. None of the practices above publish a fixed price list, so it is worth asking about the gap payment before booking.

Serving Sydney and beyond

The pediatricians above are based across Sydney, from St Leonards and Edgecliff to Concord, North Strathfield and Bondi Junction, and Telebaby’s video consultations reach families anywhere in Australia. Searching for a pediatrician near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and directions to the practice.

What to ask before your child’s first pediatrician appointment

  • Do I need a GP referral, and does that affect my Medicare rebate?
  • What is the gap payment after the Medicare rebate is applied?
  • How far ahead do I need to book, and is there a waitlist?
  • Does the practice offer telehealth for follow-up visits?
  • Which specific doctor at the practice will see my child regularly?
  • What is the process if my child needs an urgent same-week appointment?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these pediatricians?

We started from every paediatric practice in Sydney with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which of these practices offers telehealth?

Telebaby is built specifically around video consultations. The others operate primarily as in-person clinics, though some may offer telehealth follow-ups on request.

Do I need a referral to see a pediatrician in Sydney?

A GP referral is often needed for a Medicare rebate to apply. Telebaby specifically states no referral is required to book, but check rebate eligibility either way.

What if my child needs urgent medical care?

For a medical emergency, go to the nearest hospital emergency department rather than waiting for a scheduled appointment. These listings are for scheduled consultations.

The bottom line

Dr Bithi Roy is the safe default for newborn and neonatal care given her specialist background and perfect rating, while Telebaby is the practical choice when a fast telehealth appointment beats a long in-person wait. Confirm your Medicare rebate and any gap fee before the first visit.
