Dr. Mugdha Rane-Phirke

Every child is unique, and every parent wants the very best for their child's health. But parenting often comes with questions, worries and moments of uncertainty — whether it is a sudden fever, a persistent cough, feeding difficulties, poor weight gain or concerns about a child's growth and development.

Dr. Mugdha Rane-Phirke believes that good pediatric care is about being there for both — when a child is unwell and when parents need guidance to support their child's healthy growth and development.

She is a Consultant Pediatrician and Neonatologist dedicated to providing evidence-based, personalised and compassionate care for children from the newborn period through childhood.

Dr. Mugdha has trained and worked at reputed institutions, including Seth GS Medical College & KEM Hospital, Mumbai, where she gained valuable experience in caring for children and newborns with a wide range of medical conditions. Her clinical experience has helped shape a thoughtful and systematic approach to evaluating and managing childhood illnesses while ensuring that parents clearly understand their child's condition and treatment.

She has also gained experience in newborn and pediatric care through her work at Currae IVF, Birthing and Pediatrics Hospital.

Along with the treatment of childhood illnesses, Dr. Mugdha has a special interest in nutrition, feeding and preventive child healthcare. She pursued a Fellowship in Pediatric Nutrition to develop specialised knowledge in an area that plays an important role in a child's growth, development and overall health.

She supports families with concerns such as poor weight gain, picky eating, feeding difficulties, nutritional deficiencies, healthy weight management and age-appropriate nutrition.

As a Lactation Counsellor, Dr. Mugdha also provides guidance and support to mothers and families during the early days of a child's life, helping address breastfeeding and infant-feeding concerns with practical, individualised advice.

At Nurture Nest Children Clinic, Thane, her aim is to provide a space where parents feel comfortable seeking help — whether their child is unwell, they have concerns about feeding or nutrition, or they simply need guidance about their child's growth and development.

Her approach combines careful medical evaluation and treatment with long-term guidance for a child's nutrition, growth and development — while ensuring that every parent feels heard and supported.

Caring for children when they need treatment. Guiding families as they grow.
