Dr. Jonathan Halevy

Biography

Perhaps the most well-known figure at Family Medical Practice thanks to frequently posting pediatric advice on social media, Dr. Jonathan describes his gravitation toward the discipline as soul-marking. Starting out by caring for several younger brothers and sisters while growing up in his native Israel, the pediatric ward already felt like home by the time he was a resident—and his subsequent career largely revolved around the discipline, with various excursions in intensive care and trauma & life support. A published author on pediatric care, Dr. Jonathan first joined Family Medical Practice in 2005, returning in 2013  following a short period in Melbourne. He is frequently invited by the local community to conduct health talks, having addressed many schools and parent groups on pediatric health issues and other medical topics. His Vietnamese-language book Nuôi con sao cho đúng on the subject children's health was released by Alphabooks in 2015. Dr. Jonathan received his degree from the Sackler School of Medicine of Tel Aviv University, and then underwent his residency in the Pediatric Department of the Wolfson Medical Center in Israel, earning his certification as a specialist in pediatrics. Outside the clinic, he is a keen sportsman and dance lover.
