4worldlovers: Paediatric surgeons treat a diverse range of conditions. The particular specialisation we bring to your child’s care is that we solely treat children. We know children and we understand families.

When a child needs an operation this is a stressful time for them and their parents. You need to be confident that you are seeing an expert, who knows when to operate on your child and how to ensure the whole process goes smoothly from start to finish. We are experts in assessing your child’s need for surgery, and ensuring you and your child are prepared for what is involved. On the day of surgery we work with nurses and anaesthetists who are also skilled in dealing with children in order to keep your child calm and safely cared for. Our care and advice after the operation will also be tailored to the needs of you and your child.

4worldlovers: Hello, my name is Dr Nir Fireman. I'm a Consultant Paediatric Gastroenterologist based in Auckland, and also see patients in Waikato/ Bay of Plenty (Cambridge Specialist Centre).

I see paediatric patients of all ages from newborn, through childhood to the older teen, with a wide variety of digestive issues. I was trained in paediatrics, then further specialised in paediatric gastroenterology in Israel. Following my arrival in New Zealand, I was working as a consultant at Starship Children's hospital. I have been seeing patients in private since 2017. I have been based at the MacMurray Centre Auckland, and at Cambridge Specialist Centre.

During my time as an intern at the Edith Wolfson Medical Centre, a world-renowned public hospital for studies related to clinical trials of the highest standard, I learnt firsthand from Professor Arie Levine and dietitian, Rotem Sigall-Boneh, the originators, developers, and proponents for the now globally accepted Crohn’s Disease Exclusion Diet. CDED’s effectiveness and treatment methods have brought relief to many Crohn’s Disease sufferers. I believe patients following the CDED diet and treatment can eventually achieve as normal a life as possible, a prognosis that was considered unachievable before this revolutionary new eating plan was developed.
