Prof. Ubaid Shah

Prof. Ubaid Shah is an Australian-trained Consultant Paediatric Neurologist and Epileptologist at King's College Hospital London – Dubai. He has more than 18 years of post-specialisation experience managing complex neurological conditions in infants, children, and adolescents across the region. His clinical training included a medical degree with honours, postgraduate training in paediatrics, and fellowships in paediatric neurology and paediatric epilepsy.

Prof. Shah specialises in childhood epilepsy (including hard-to-treat forms), autoimmune brain inflammation, sudden-onset severe seizure states (NORSE), and neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder and ADHD. He also treats movement disorders, developmental regression, unexplained neurological deterioration, and paediatric headaches including migraine. His approach emphasises early diagnosis, precision-based treatment, and family-centred care, particularly in conditions where prompt intervention shapes long-term outcomes.

He is a good fit for families seeking specialist assessment of a child with complex, diagnostically challenging, or refractory neurological conditions, particularly epilepsy, autoimmune encephalitis, or unexplained neurological decline.
