Dr Nicoletta Hay
MBBch (Wits) , FCPaed (SA)
Dr. Hay is a General Paediatrician practicing at the Morningside Clinic in Johannesburg.
Having completed my medical education at the University of the Witwatersrand, I bring nearly 20 years of clinical experience to my practice.
Beyond my formal training, my perspective is deeply shaped by my own journey as a mother to two children; I believe first-hand parenting experience is an invaluable asset in truly understanding my patients' needs.
While I find immense joy in all aspects of General Paediatrics, I have a particular passion for the Neonatal period and supporting families through those first precious weeks. Our practice is built on accessibility, offering multiple channels of communication to ensure you can reach us whenever you need support.

I'm mom to Rachel, Jax and Ivy.All of whom have added insight to my paediatric practice in more ways than I could ever have imagined!
I am a Paediatric Neurologist with a passion for understanding your child’s difficulties in the context of their family and community.
While offering up-to-date, only evidence based care, I am a naturalist at heart and try to avoid unnecessary interventions and treatment as far as possible and try to offer a balanced approach to child health.
I believe that availability to patients is important and my patients have many avenues of access to me, with a very open door policy.
Communication is vital to an ongoing therapeutic relationship.
When should you call us?
Many times, people are unsure as to when to make contact with their paediatrician. I would firstly like to comment that I have never had a parent miss a serious condition – trust your instincts. However, there are a few key symptoms – please contact us (or go through to the ER) if:
- Your baby has a fever and is under 2 to 3 months.
- A fever that lasts for longer than 3 days and is not settling in height or frequency.
- A fever accompanied by other worrying symptoms such as a rash, abnormal breathing,
extreme lethargy, persistent vomiting or severe diarrhoea particularly if there is blood. - A fever and recent travel to a Malaria area.
- Coughing for longer than a week
- Earache
- Weight loss
The list is not exhaustive and if in any doubt please contact us or visit the ER.
