Anna Short-Pham is an endocrinologist based in Westmead, NSW, Australia. Endocrinology is the area of medicine that looks after hormones and how they affect your whole body. In day-to-day care, that often means helping with long-term conditions where the goal is steady health, not quick fixes.
Anna’s work focuses on a few main areas. This includes celiac disease, malabsorption, and type 1 diabetes (T1D). If you’ve been dealing with gut symptoms, low nutrients, or blood sugar ups and downs, you know how draining it can be. In many cases, the right plan can make a big difference to how you feel, how you eat, and how your body handles everyday life.
With celiac disease, the key part of care is getting the diagnosis right and supporting a gluten-free lifestyle that’s realistic and safe. That can involve reviewing symptoms, making sense of test results, and discussing what to do when things don’t go as expected. Sometimes people feel better after changes, but other times symptoms take longer to settle. Anna can help you work through that slow, frustrating middle stage.
Malabsorption can be harder because it can show up in different ways. It may be linked to nutrition getting through less well than it should, which can affect energy, weight, and day-to-day wellbeing. The focus here is usually on finding the cause, checking for any nutrient gaps, and planning care that fits around your routine.
For type 1 diabetes, support often includes working with you on monitoring and treatment routines. Blood sugar levels can change with food, activity, stress, illness, and sleep. Over time, the aim is to help you build confidence in managing T1D day to day, while also keeping an eye on long-term health. At times, that means adjusting plans as your body and lifestyle change.
Anna also takes time to explain what the results can mean in plain language. Simple steps, clear next actions, and keeping track of progress matter. Ongoing learning is part of her clinical practice too, with regular updates to keep care aligned with current guidance.
Clinically, Anna is a good fit for people who want a calm, practical approach to hormone-related conditions, especially where nutrition, blood sugar, and ongoing monitoring are involved. Based in Westmead, she works within the local healthcare area to help patients manage these conditions with support that feels grounded and workable.
