Dr Nadia Dinia

Dr. Nadia Dinia’s clinic stands as a trusted reference point for children’s health on the bustling Boulevard Abou Houraïra in Casablanca’s Sidi Othman district. For over twenty years, Dr. Dinia has devoted her practice to nurturing the physical, emotional and developmental wellbeing of children while simultaneously empowering their parents. Her dual credentials as a board-certified paediatrician and a trained systemic family therapist allow her to view every medical encounter through a uniquely holistic lens: the child is never an isolated patient but an integral member of a family system that shapes, and is shaped by, health.

The clinic operates from Monday to Friday and is purpose-built to make young patients feel at ease. Cheerful wall art, interactive toys and a dedicated child-sized reading corner transform the waiting room into an environment that sparks curiosity rather than anxiety. Two modern consultation rooms are equipped with calibrated infant scales, paediatric examination tables and the latest otoscopes and ophthalmoscopes, ensuring accurate assessment while respecting international hygiene protocols. A separate, softly furnished therapy room accommodates family sessions, parental coaching meetings and small-group workshops.

Core medical services cover the full spectrum of ambulatory paediatrics: newborn follow-ups, growth monitoring, vaccination according to the Moroccan national schedule (and optional travel vaccines), management of common childhood illnesses such as otitis, bronchiolitis and gastroenteritis, and guidance on chronic conditions like asthma or allergies. Dr. Dinia also places strong emphasis on preventive care: she regularly assesses vision, hearing, oral health and developmental milestones, providing early referrals when specialised intervention is indicated.

What distinguishes the clinic is its integration of family-centred therapy. Drawing on her postgraduate studies in systemic family therapy, Dr. Dinia offers confidential sessions that explore family dynamics influencing a child’s behaviour, sleep patterns or school performance. Parents learn evidence-based strategies to foster secure attachment, manage screen time and establish consistent routines. Customised parental coaching packages, available in Arabic or French, can be scheduled as one-off consultations or as a multi-session programme complemented by evening workshops.

Nutrition is another pillar of the practice. Whether guiding breastfeeding mothers, advising on the introduction of complementary foods, or tackling childhood obesity, Dr. Dinia uses motivational interviewing techniques to craft realistic meal plans that respect cultural food preferences and household constraints. She collaborates with local dietitians and, when necessary, refers to allied specialists such as speech therapists, psychologists and paediatric cardiologists, ensuring truly multidisciplinary care.

The clinic’s operational philosophy is rooted in accessibility and trust. Appointments are efficiently managed by a digital scheduling system linked to the practice website, reducing wait times and enabling secure online follow-up. For families unable to travel, teleconsultations via a HIPAA-compliant platform can be arranged for non-urgent concerns, prescription renewals or developmental consultations. While the clinic does not advertise 24-hour emergency services, patients are given clear after-hours guidance and may contact Dr. Dinia for urgent triage recommendations.

Languages spoken in the clinic are Arabic and French, reflecting Casablanca’s multicultural fabric. Clear, compassionate communication remains a hallmark of the service, as echoed by numerous patient testimonials praising Dr. Dinia’s kindness, patience and scientific rigour. From the first newborn visit to the transition into adolescence, families find a consistent partner committed to safeguarding their children’s health, supporting their emotional resilience and strengthening the family unit as a whole.
