Dr Niveshni Maistry

JHB Paediatric Surgeon is the practice of Dr Niveshni Maistry, a specialist paediatric surgeon providing surgical care for infants, children, and adolescents across Johannesburg. Based at Johannesburg Surgical Hospital, Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital, and Melrose Surgical Centre, the practice offers comprehensive assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of a wide range of paediatric surgical conditions. The practice provides care for both routine and complex surgical concerns, including neonatal procedures, paediatric urology, gastrointestinal conditions, endoscopic procedures, emergency surgical interventions, and chronic bowel and bladder disorders. Dr Maistry also offers prenatal counselling for families whose antenatal scans have identified potential surgical conditions, helping parents understand their options and prepare for their baby’s care with confidence. Dr Maistry graduated from the University of the Witwatersrand and completed specialist training in paediatric surgery after gaining experience in both South Africa and the United Kingdom. Her training at Oxford Children’s Hospital contributed to her expertise in managing a broad spectrum of childhood surgical conditions. In addition to her clinical work, she has contributed to paediatric surgical research, presented at national and international conferences, and has been recognised for her work in advancing paediatric surgical care. The practice is committed to supporting children and their families throughout every stage of the surgical journey. From the first consultation to treatment and recovery, the focus is on providing clear communication, thoughtful guidance, and age-appropriate care tailored to the unique needs of each child. Whether a child requires emergency surgery, treatment for a congenital condition, or ongoing management of a chronic surgical concern, families can access dedicated paediatric surgical care in a supportive and welcoming environment.
