WEDNESDAY SPECIALIST SPOTLIGHT
When it comes to children’s health, small concerns can quickly turn into big questions for families.
This week we’re introducing Dr Damian Lees, Paediatrician at SMSG.
Dr Lees commonly assists with developmental concerns, behavioural presentations, feeding difficulties, and general paediatric conditions that benefit from a more detailed and thoughtful assessment. He has a strong interest in developmental paediatrics, supporting children and families navigating areas such as learning, behaviour and developmental differences.
Many families are referred when something doesn’t feel quite right — even if it’s hard to clearly define.
During appointments, parents often notice his calm, engaging manner with children. He takes time to build rapport, observe interactions, and understand the broader context around a child’s development — while ensuring parents feel heard and supported throughout the process.
His approach is practical and reassuring, helping families better understand what they’re seeing, what it may mean, and what next steps could look like — whether that’s monitoring, further assessment, or connecting with additional supports.
Paediatric care isn’t just about diagnosis — it’s about guidance, clarity and ongoing support for both child and family.
Appointments with Dr Damian Lees are now available.
