Christine P. Rodda is an Endocrinologist who looks after hormone and metabolism health in Parkville, VIC. She works from Flemington Road, Parkville, and helps patients across a range of ages and needs, from kids with growth and bone problems to adults dealing with long-term hormone issues.
A lot of the work involves conditions linked to how the body uses and stores key nutrients. For example, Christine helps manage vitamin D deficiency, malnutrition, and scurvy. At times, she also supports people who have ongoing problems with calcium and phosphate balance, such as hypercalcaemia, hyperparathyroidism, hypophosphataemia, and nephrocalcinosis. These can make you feel tired, weak, or unwell, and they can affect bones and energy in day-to-day life.
She also cares for people living with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). That can mean regular checks, changes to treatment plans, and support when things are up and down. Hormones can shift with illness, food changes, and stress, so getting the details right matters.
Bone health is another big part of her clinic. Christine looks after issues like rickets and fibrous dysplasia, and she can help when the cause is tied to how the body handles minerals. Some patients have rarer conditions, including X-linked hypophosphataemia. There are also times when the hormone picture is complicated by other triggers, and she takes care to explain what is happening in plain language.
In practice, that means listening closely, working through symptoms, and using test results to guide the next steps. She focuses on understanding the full picture, not just the one result that stands out. Over time, this approach helps people make sense of their condition and plan for better day-to-day control.
Christine’s endocrinology training supports her work with complex nutrient and hormone problems. If you’re dealing with something that involves vitamin D, calcium, phosphate, diabetes, or bone health, she aims to bring calm, practical care to the appointment and help you move forward one step at a time.
