As a consultant GP, Dr Zainib Cheema is experienced in being the first point of call for all family and child health presentations. A mum herself, Dr Cheema has a special interest in paediatrics and has completed the Diploma in Child Health from the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network. She is also a registered Antenatal Shared Care provider with several Sydney hospitals. She is experienced in managing acute paediatric presentations and currently works as a GP specialist in Emergency in remote NSW. She has completed further functional medicine training in kids’ health from the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM).

In my practice, I use both standard GP management, and integrative and nutritional approaches to managing common paediatric presentations including recurrent infections, constipation, asthma, eczema, allergic conditions, and insomnia. I also offer Cannabidiol (CBD) oil prescription for a range of TGA approved conditions, including: Autism, ADHD, epilepsy, aggressive behaviour, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, arthritis, sleep disorder, anorexia, Tourette’s syndrome, and migraine.

Part of my role as a GP is to support my patients by organising and managing their treating team. I believe in a holistic, team-based approach that includes gleaning expertise from a broad range of contributing members. I work closely with general and sub-specialist paediatricians; speech therapists; psychologists; physiotherapists; pharmacists; dieticians and nutritionists, to help support my littlest patients achieve their full potential.
