Dr Claire Nickolls is a Paediatric Allergist and Immunologist based in St Leonards, NSW. She works out of North Shore Private Hospital, Suite 3, Level 5, Westbourne Street, St Leonards NSW 2065. If your child has allergy symptoms, asthma issues, or ongoing immune-related concerns, Dr Nickolls looks at what’s going on and helps plan next steps that make sense for day-to-day life.
As a paediatric specialist, her care is focused on babies, kids, and teenagers. Allergy problems in children can look different from one family to the next. At times it’s skin issues like rashes or itching. Other times it’s breathing problems, wheeze, coughing, or asthma that won’t settle. Food reactions can be tricky too, especially when symptoms happen quickly or come and go. Dr Nickolls helps families sort out what’s likely, what needs testing, and what can be safely managed.
Allergy testing is one of the key services provided. This can help figure out what might be causing symptoms, so you’re not left guessing all the time. In many cases, knowing the trigger can also make it easier to avoid the right things without being overly strict. She also supports treatment for common childhood allergies, with a practical focus on reducing symptoms and helping children stay comfortable.
Breathing and asthma management are also part of her work with young patients. Asthma in kids can flare up with colds, dust, pollen, or other triggers. Dr Nickolls works with families to build a plan for symptoms as they come up, and to help parents feel more confident about what to do at home. Over time, good asthma plans can make a real difference to how often kids end up in distress.
Dr Nickolls also provides immunisation shots for kids. Keeping vaccinations up to date is important for protecting children, especially when they have health conditions that make immune or breathing issues more complicated.
