Dr. Ananya Sharma
I grew up in Bangalore, the daughter of a government school teacher and a pharmacist. Medicine wasn't the family business — but caring for people was. I knew I wanted to be a pediatrician from the day I held my baby cousin at age 12 and felt that fierce, instinctive need to protect something so small.
After MBBS at Bangalore Medical College, I trained at AIIMS Delhi for my MD in Pediatrics, where I fell in love with neonatology — the art of caring for the tiniest, most vulnerable patients. My fellowship at CMC Vellore taught me that even a 700-gram baby can fight if you give them the right support.
After a year in Manipal Hospital's NICU, I started Little Hearts Pediatric Clinic in 2019 because I wanted to practice medicine my way — unhurried consultations, no unnecessary medicines, and always time for one more question from a worried parent.
I'm a mother of two (Vihaan, 5, and Myra, 2), so I've been on both sides of the consultation table. I know what it's like to Google symptoms at 3 AM. That's exactly why I give my registered patients direct WhatsApp access — because I'd want the same from my children's doctor.

How I Practice
Listen First
A parent knows their child best. I start every consultation by listening — really listening — to what you've observed. Your instincts matter.
Minimal Intervention
Not every fever needs an antibiotic. Not every cough needs a nebulizer. I prescribe only what's necessary, explain why, and tell you what to watch for at home.
Empower Parents
I want you to leave my clinic feeling confident, not confused. I explain conditions in plain language, share written care plans, and I'm always a WhatsApp message away.
Catch It Early
Developmental delays, allergies, vision problems — early detection changes outcomes. I screen proactively at every well-child visit, not just when there's a complaint.
Ready to meet?
I'd love to be your child's doctor. Book a first visit — it's a 30-minute consultation so we have time to talk.
