About me

​​

Dr Valentina Milosescu is a dual-trained Specialist Paediatrician and Neonatologist, with experience caring for babies, children and families from the newborn period through childhood. She provides consultations for general paediatric concerns in children of all ages in her consulting rooms, as well as specialist newborn care at delivery and in the neonatal unit at Mater Mothers’ Private Hospital.

​

Dr Valentina completed a Bachelor of Biomedical Science at Griffith University before pursuing her passion for medicine at The University of Melbourne. She was awarded her Doctor of Medicine (MD) in 2014 and subsequently undertook specialist training in both General Paediatrics and Neonatal and Perinatal Medicine. In 2026, she was awarded Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP), completing her specialist training as a dual-trained Paediatrician and Neonatologist.

She completed her General Paediatrics training across Queensland Children’s Hospital, Gold Coast University Hospital, The Prince Charles Hospital and Toowoomba Hospital. She also gained experience in public and private paediatric practice on the Gold Coast, caring for children with a broad range of medical and general paediatric concerns. Dr Valentina undertook her specialist training in Neonatal and Perinatal Medicine across Mater Mothers’ Hospital, Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital and Gold Coast University
Hospital. She gained extensive experience caring for premature and critically unwell newborns, including extremely premature infants and babies with complex medical, cardiac and surgical conditions.

Dr Valentina has a particular interest in antenatal education and newborn consultations, supporting parents to feel informed and prepared for the arrival of their baby and the early newborn period. She is passionate about helping parents understand what to expect, particularly when there are medical concerns or uncertainty surrounding their baby’s care. With her extensive neonatal experience, Dr Valentina also has a special interest in supporting families navigating complex neonatal journeys, including prematurity, medical and surgical conditions, intensive care and the transition from hospital to home. She aims to make complex medical information easier to understand, helping parents ask questions, understand their options and feel confident participating in decisions about their baby’s care.

Alongside her neonatal practice, Dr Valentina provides general paediatric consultations for children of all ages, with the aim of providing continuity of care from birth through to adolescence. She provides assessment and management of a broad range of medical, developmental and behavioural concerns, including developmental assessments and concerns regarding ADHD or possible Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as well as growth, learning, sleep, feeding and behaviour. Valentina takes a warm and individualised approach to her consultations, providing clear, evidence-based advice tailored to each child and family

As a mum of two, Valentina understands that parenting can be wonderful, unpredictable and sometimes challenging. She hopes to bring not only her specialist medical knowledge to her work, but also empathy, understanding and a genuine appreciation for the families she has the privilege of caring for.

Outside of medicine, she enjoys spending time with her children and friends and has a particular love of food, discovering new cafés and trying new restaurants.
