We absolutely adore Dr Flammarion! And I always recommend her to all my friends and family. She is thorough, she is an amazing listener and after trying many pediatricians she has been a god send!

profile
Dr Sophie Flammarion is a Consultant Paediatrician with special expertise in respiratory and allergy medicine. She is a core member of The Medical Chambers Kensington paediatric team.
Sophie treats all types of medical problems in babies and young children. She is French and speaks fluent English.
She moved to the UK in 2013 since when she has been practising paediatrics in London including at the world-famous Evelina London Children’s Healthcare Hospital, part of Guys and St Thomas’s NHS Foundation Trust. In October 2013, Sophie was appointed an Honorary Clinical Fellow in the Paediatric Allergy Department at Evelina, which is the 2nd largest provider of children’s services in London and has a holistic approach to diagnosis and management.
In May 2014 she was appointed a Consultant at the hospital where she practices alongside several renowned paediatricians including Professor Gideon Lack, Dr Adam Fox and Dr George Du Toit.
Sophie qualified at Paris V René Descartes University in 2001 and obtained a Doctorate of Medicine and Diploma of Specialisation in Paediatrics (DES) at University of Lille II in 2005.
She then practised in the Paediatric Emergency Department and Paediatric Respiratory Outpatients Clinic at Lille Hospital. In 2006 she was appointed Chef de Clinique in The Paediatric Respiratory and Allergy Department at the Hospital.
As a core member of The Medical Chambers Kensington paediatric team, Sophie understands how worrying it can be for a parent when their child is unwell and so she makes herself available on her mobile and by email.
She is fully conversant with French, English and American paediatric immunisation schedules and constantly update her paediatric skills by attending both French and British medical conferences.
Paediatrics is a hugely important area of medicine. Sophie is always happy to guide you in the development of your child reaching their milestones, thriving and remaining healthy from birth to puberty. Her priority is to create a harmonious relationship between the mother and her child so that your baby can grow into a blooming and confident adult. Her typical child development programme includes:
- Seeing your baby regularly to monitor development
- Height- weight- head circumference follow up
- Food diversification
- Immunisation schedule
- Neurological and global development
- Helping you with the most common issues such as Feeding (breast feeding or formula, quantity and quality)
- Gastro-intestinal problems (reflux, colic)
- Skin problems (eczema, acne, nappy rash)
You can learn about what to do before bringing your child for an allergy test here and read Sophie's blog post here.

Dr Flammarion reviews our twin babies' health and development regularly. She also saw them at very short notice when it was needed. We are really happy to have her regular thorough advice as they are our first children and we don’t have any family in the U.K. or anyone who could give us health and development advice or point us in the right direction, particularly in this complex pandemic time.

I can't think of anything that needs particularly improvement. Dr Flammarion was amazing, very patient and understanding and with excellent approach to my 1 year old daughter.

I am very pleased with the service and definitely would recommend Sophie to everyone who seeks professional medical opinion and is tired of fighting with NHS system, particularly GPs
