Personal profile

Dr Haddad is a consultant paediatrician with special interest in allergic and respiratory disorders. He has been leading the respiratory and Allergic disorders services at St Peter’s NHS Hospital in Surrey for the last 20 years.  He completed his undergraduate medical training in the previous USSR and completed part of his paediatric training in Jordan and Scotland before being elected as a consultant paediatrician in London in 1997.

Dr Haddad held an honorary consultant status at the Royal Brompton Hospital and at St Thomas Hospital in London. He also holds an honorary Senior Lecturer post at Imperial College London. He has authored several publications, including several chapters and edited a textbook in Paediatrics.  Dr Haddad is actively involved in research and teaching and has several articles published on anaphylaxis, nut allergy & diagnostic allergy tests.

Combining general paediatric experience with special interest in allergies and respiratory disorders, Dr Haddad is able to provide a comprehensive service, addressing the child’s wellbeing and multiple health needs as one whole package of care, minimising the need for cross-referrals and increasing the chances of establishing a unifying diagnosis.

Having been exposed to multiple healthcare systems in different countries and with different levels of resource provisions, Dr Haddad has developed a deep insight into the importance of the patient/family - doctor relationship, an appreciation of the paramount importance of listening to the patients and families and an understanding that it is the information the child and family have, through living with the health condition and experiencing its symptoms, that almost always holds the key to the diagnosis and to identifying the underlying causes.
