Practising at RxDx Clinics, Electronic City, Bengaluru, Dr Vijayakumar brings with him extensive NICU experience gained across multiple Level 3 neonatal intensive care settings in Bengaluru. As a trusted Paediatrician and Neonatologist in Electronic City, Bengaluru, he specialises in the management of high-risk neonates including extremely premature infants born before 28 weeks and extremely low birth weight (ELBW) babies weighing under 1000 grams – among the most vulnerable patients in neonatal medicine.

He is proficient in functional echocardiography and point-of-care ultrasound, advanced mechanical ventilation techniques including High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV), and the perioperative management of complex neonatal surgical conditions such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia, tracheo-oesophageal fistula, and gut atresia.

He is trained in the use of the Hammersmith Neonatal Neurological Examination (HNNE), Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE), General Movements Assessment (GMA), and Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID IV) – internationally validated tools that help identify early developmental concerns and guide timely intervention.
