Dr Vishal Mehta was awarded the iWantGreatCare certificate of excellence in 2024 for delivering outstanding care.
I see children with all aspects of general paediatric problems as well as looking after children with brain disorders. I specialise in paediatric neurology and neurodisability. I deal with all kinds of neurological problems in children, particularly problems of headache, funny turns, epilepsy, Tic disorder and Tourette’s, cerebral palsy, movement disorder, developmental delay and neuromuscular disorders. In addition I have experience in managing general paediatric problems. I graduated from Indore, India and completed my post-graduation degree in paediatrics from the prestigious University of Bombay (Mumbai) and obtained my MD degree. I then moved to the UK and trained in a number of UK centres including St Mary's Hospital Manchester, Leeds General Infirmary and Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital before taking up the Consultant Paediatrician post at Hull Royal Infirmary. I am current clinical lead for paediatric medicine service at Hull Royal Infirmary. I have keen interest in teaching. I regularly teach in Yorkshire Deanery MRCPCH clinical Course, British Paediatric Neurology Association run headache( CHaT) and epilepsy courses (PET). Additionally, I am a honorary lecture in paediatrics for Hull York Medical school( HYMS) EPALS course instructor.
Dr Mehta was very thorough and this made me feel that my daughter is getting the best review as I had been feeling anxious before getting a private appointment. I am also really impressed with Dr Mehta’s secretary Tina who really helped with sorting my daughter’s blood results.

A great experience with this doctor. He fitted us in to see him the next day. Age appropriate questions for our daughter and clearly explained his thoughts and next steps to us.

Our 3 year old little boy William was seen by Dr Mehta recently to try and understand the reason for his recurrent high temperatures. He conducted a thorough assessment and was highly knowledgeable. He took the time to listen to us and understand all of our concerns and provided us with some possibilities of what William could be experiencing. He was compassionate and showed empathy and had a lovely approach with William (I think this was the first time William has never got upset with a Dr!). It has given us confidence on what we need to do moving forward and how to support our little boy. We received our clinic letter quickly (thank you Tina, Dr Mehta’s secretary who has always been quick to respond and very helpful) and he even rang me to confirm a question I had about what was written in the letter. We are very grateful of his assessment and support and would recommend him to other families who are going through a similar situation. Thank you.

Dr Mehta saw us very quickly through the self funded route (within days), we travelled out of area to see him and be reassured by his expertise in a diagnosis of Tourette's for our son who is 7. He was incredibly professional, kind and attentive with both myself and my husband, and our son. He has a lovely way with children and made our son feel at ease straight away. We felt really listened to and given the time that was needed. He patiently replied to various emails and questions of mine before we had even booked the appointment! We are so grateful to be able to access Dr Mehta's services for our son, at a time that has been very stressful and upsetting for all of us. It has been a huge relief to us.

From our first meeting, Dr. Mehta was thorough, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to understand our concerns and provided a detailed, thoughtful evaluation. His approach was reassuring, and his advice has given us clarity and confidence moving forward. It’s clear why so many professionals speak highly of him. We are grateful for his expertise and support, and we would not hesitate to recommend his services to other families seeking guidance with similar concerns.

Dr Mehta has been fantastic from first consultation to diagnosis. He has diagnosed our daughter with a rare condition that took some very careful consideration to diagnose. He listened to our concerns and we felt valued as the parents of our daughter(patient). Dr Metha’’s communication with us throughout was excellent. Would not hesitate to go back and see him again.

Met with Dr Mehta to discuss our son (age 4) and his migraines. I specifically researched Dr Mehta beforehand as I was seeking a Paediatric Neurologist; I really pleased I did. Dr Mehta gave us his full attention and time, he was thorough in his assessment of Jaxon and gave honest, practical advise. I am happy with the care plan suggested and clear on the next steps and timeframe for follow up. Leaving our appointment feeling very happy with our choice of Dr

Dr. Mehta has been our daughter’s physician for many years, providing exceptional care during a challenging time. Our daughter’s condition is severe and has profoundly impacted our family. Unlike some negative experiences with medical staff in the past, Dr. Mehta consistently demonstrates kindness, professionalism, and approachability. He excels at explaining complex medical issues clearly and concisely, ensuring we fully understand her condition and treatment options.Despite the challenges in managing our daughter’s seizures, which have not yet been controlled by various medications, Dr. Mehta remains proactive. He has recommended new medications, treatments, and facilitated access to clinical trials and experimental therapies when appropriate. His guidance has been invaluable in navigating these options.Beyond medical care, Dr. Mehta has played a pivotal role in coordinating with third-party organizations, including the SEND Team, social services, and occupational therapy. Dr Mehta's advocacy ensured we received essential equipment for our home and secured appropriate educational support for our daughter.We are immensely grateful for Dr. Mehta’s unwavering dedication to our daughter’s well-being. His tireless efforts have made a significant difference, and we feel fortunate to have him as her doctor. Thank you Dr Mehta for all you help and support! I know Matilda can't speak but if she could I know she would want me to say thank you for everything you have done.
