Associate Professor Anand Ramineni

Neonatologist & Medical Director

Anand is the only neonatologist in private practice on the Gold Coast – offering families a uniquely specialised and personal level of newborn care. He brings NICU-level expertise to your baby’s bedside, combining clinical precision with continuity, calm, and compassion.

  • A neonatologist is a specialist paediatrician who cares exclusively for babies. After his initial paediatric training, Anand undertook three years of advanced training in neonatal intensive care. He has cared for babies as small as 300 grams and as early as 22 weeks at Mater Mothers’ Hospital, Gold Coast University Hospital, and the Neonatal Retrieval Service at Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.

    Anand has spent years exclusively caring for newborns across intensive care, retrieval, and outpatient settings. He brings this depth of experience to every baby he sees – whether they are premature, unwell, or simply need a little extra support. He is particularly experienced in stabilising unwell newborns at birth and providing ongoing developmental follow-up.

    Known for his optimistic, gentle and thorough approach, Anand takes the time to ensure families feel informed, supported and reassured – especially when things don’t go to plan. No matter how big or small the concern, he understands how precious every baby is to their family.

Alyssa Ramineni

Paediatric Nurse & Practice Manager

Alyssa is a paediatric nurse with a background in intensive care, offering families calm, capable support through the early months. Her experience caring for critically unwell infants in high-acuity settings brings a rare depth of clinical insight – paired with empathy, clarity, and a genuine understanding of what families need as they navigate life with a newborn.

  • After completing a double degree in Commerce and Arts, Alyssa transitioned into healthcare, pursuing a career that combined technical skill with meaningful human connection. She retrained as a registered nurse and found her professional focus in caring for critically unwell infants and children.

    Alyssa undertook her nursing training at Queensland Children’s Hospital and worked predominantly in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit, where she cared for some of the state’s most medically complex paediatric patients. This experience in high-acuity environments fostered a clinical approach that is both calm and capable, grounded in empathy and clear communication.

    At Nest, Alyssa draws on her specialised clinical background alongside her strengths in organisation, systems management, and family engagement. As Practice Manager, she is responsible for ensuring that families receive timely, coordinated, and compassionate care – and that every interaction with Nest is clear, welcoming and supportive.
