Dr Sharon Silberstein

Dr. Sharon Silberstein is a medical doctor, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and Tongue Tie Specialist. She completed her initial medical training in Aachen, Germany. She spent some time specialising in Obstetrics and Gynaecology before finding her special area of interest, which is Breastfeeding Medicine. Dr. Silberstein has been working with breastfeeding mothers for over 8 years and has been performing Tongue Tie Divisions in babies up to 1 year for the last 5 years. Dr. Silberstein is known for her caring and gentle manner and will use her holistic approach to treat both mothers and babies, understanding that each of her patients are individuals and have individual wants and needs. Breastfeeding Medicine is not well known in England and not practiced by many doctors, which leads to many patients being sent back and forth between midwifes, health visitors and lactation consultants. Dr. Silberstein is able to combine her medical knowledge with her lactation expertise and help many mothers and babies find a solution to a difficult lactation journey. Dr Silberstein is the clinic owner of the Dr Silberstein Clinic in Hampstead Garden Suburb. She worked hard to make this dream come true and it is the first and only dedicated clinic to Infant Feeding and Tongue Tie. She has a team of experienced Lactation Consultants working with her and the clinic offers parenting courses, antenatal classes, paediatric first aid courses and much more. Dr. Silberstein is always working to better herself professionally, adding to her knowledge and skillset all the time. She also owns a masters equivalent degree (Level 7) in Aesthetic Medicine since June 2020 and provides injectable treatments using Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Fillers (Anti-wrinkle treatments, cheek and lip augmentations, fillers for skin folds such as nasolabial folds, Hyperhidrosis treatment for the armpit to prevent excessive sweating and treatment for Bruxism and TMJ disorder). Her approach to aesthetics is to achieve a natural result to enhance her patients beauty. As a doctor she is able to treat patients in a clinical, safe environment and is able to deal with complications should they occur.
