Meet Dr Siza Mokati
Specialist Paediatrician & Paediatric Pulmonologist in Montana Park Pretoria
As a Paediatric Pulmonologist and a Specialist Paediatrician in Tshwane/Pretoria, my practice at Netcare Montana Hospital in Montana Park is dedicated to providing evidence-based, compassionate, and highly specialised medical care for infants, children, and adolescents.
My professional journey in children’s health has been guided by one core principle: every child deserves the opportunity to breathe easily, grow confidently, and thrive fully . My role as both a paediatrician and paediatric pulmonologist allows me to care for children comprehensively — from routine developmental assessments to complex respiratory conditions requiring advanced subspecialist management.

Qualifications & specialist training
My academic and specialist training reflect a deep commitment to excellence in paediatric medicine:

This rigorous training enables me to manage both common childhood illnesses and highly complex respiratory conditions with confidence, precision, and clinical excellence.
Specialist care for growing children
Respiratory care
As a Paediatric Pulmonologist in Tshwane/Pretoria, I focus on diagnosing and managing conditions such as:
- Childhood asthma
- Recurrent chest infections
- Chronic cough
- Bronchiolitis
- Pneumonia
- Tuberculosis in children
- Allergic airway disease
- Neonatal and prematurity-related lung complications
- Complex respiratory disorders requiring specialist evaluation
General paediatrics
In addition to pulmonology, I provide full-spectrum specialist paediatric care, including:
- Newborn assessments
- Growth and developmental monitoring
- Vaccination programmes
- Nutritional guidance
- Early childhood screening

- Management of acute and chronic childhood illnesses
My approach combines advanced subspecialist expertise with preventative, family-centred paediatrics. I believe strongly that early identification, parental education, and proactive intervention are key to raising healthy, resilient children.
Experience, trust & a personal approach
Serving families across Gauteng
While my practice is based at Netcare Montana Hospital in Montana Park Pretoria, I proudly serve families from surrounding areas including:
Arcadia, Hatfield, Sunnyside, Soshanguve, Mamelodi, and Mabopane, as well as greater Pretoria and Tshwane.
Many families searching online for a “Paediatric Pulmonologist near me” or “Specialist Paediatrician near me” are looking for trusted, experienced care close to home. My practice is committed to being that trusted referral point for both parents and healthcare professionals.
Experience in paediatric pulmonology
Respiratory conditions in children can present subtly, progress rapidly, or mimic other illnesses. My combined experience in general paediatrics, outpatient care, paediatric intensive care, and advanced pulmonology training allows me to:
- Identify early warning signs of serious respiratory disease
- Manage critically ill children with precision
- Provide structured long-term care for chronic lung conditions
- Offer specialist insight for complex or unresolved cases
This dual expertise as both a Specialist Paediatrician in Tshwane and a Paediatric Pulmonologist in Montana Park Pretoria ensures that children receive comprehensive, coordinated care under one roof.
Excellence, safety & trust
Trust is central to paediatric care. As a registered specialist with recognised South African qualifications and fellowship training, I adhere to the highest professional and ethical standards.
Parents can feel confident knowing that their child’s care is guided by:
- Accredited specialist training
- Hospital-based practice at Netcare Montana Hospital
- Ongoing professional development
- Evidence-based clinical guidelines
- A strong foundation in preventative paediatric medicine
My practice is built not only on medical expertise, but on partnership with families.
A compassionate approach
Children are not simply small adults — their physiology, development, and emotional needs require specialised understanding. My clinical approach is meticulous and evidence-based, grounded in the latest paediatric and pulmonology research.
At the same time, I prioritise warmth, clarity, and reassurance. I understand that when a child struggles to breathe, it affects the entire family. My goal is not only to treat illness but to provide clarity, comfort, and long-term support.
Families who visit my practice at Netcare Montana Hospital can expect:
- Thorough, structured assessments
- Clear explanations and shared decision-making
- Individualised management plans
- A calm, child-friendly environment
