Karen E. Charlton is an Internal Medicine doctor based in Wollongong, NSW.
Her practice is located on Northfields Ave, Wollongong NSW 2522. Internal medicine usually means she helps people with health issues that involve the whole body, not just one small problem.
Karen looks after patients who are dealing with things like malnutrition and nutrition-related problems, especially when someone is run down or not eating well. She also supports people with blood pressure concerns. That can include hypertension, heavy or sudden changes in blood pressure, and issues linked with low potassium levels.
At times, she also cares for people who have delirium. This might show up when someone is very unwell, confused, or not acting like themselves, and it needs careful, steady assessment. She can help work out what’s going on and what support is needed next.
She treats obesity and related health worries too. For some people, weight changes can be tied to long-term habits, other medical conditions, or how the body is coping. Karen focuses on practical steps and clear plans that fit real life.
Vitamin D deficiency is another common issue she manages. Low vitamin D can affect bones, energy, and overall health, so she helps patients understand what might be contributing and what to do about it.
Some cases involve heavy metal poisoning. That can be serious, and it often needs prompt medical attention and good follow-up. Karen works with patients to bring the focus back to safety, symptoms, and getting the right tests.
In many cases, she also helps with high blood pressure in infants. These situations are stressful for families, so the goal is to keep things calm and organised, and to explain what the results mean in everyday terms.
Karen’s main focus is Internal Medicine, with care aimed at patients who may have more than one health problem happening at once. She looks at the bigger picture, and she pays attention to the small details that can make a big difference over time.
