Prof Richard Loh is a paediatric allergist and immunologist and also works as a pathologist. He looks after children in Wembley, WA, with a focus on allergies, immune system problems, and breathing issues that can be linked to allergies.
You can find his practice at 199 Cambridge Street, Wembley WA 6014. The care here is geared towards kids and families. Visits are usually about getting clear answers, working out what is triggering symptoms, and putting a plan in place that fits day-to-day life.
A big part of the work is allergy testing for children. This can include skin prick tests to check common allergy triggers, and blood tests when that helps get a more complete picture. In many cases, these tests are done to help explain things like recurring rashes, hay fever-type symptoms, food allergy concerns, or ongoing reactions that keep coming back. Results are discussed in plain language, with time to talk through what they mean and what options are next.
He also evaluates childhood asthma. For some children, wheeze and cough show up alongside allergies, so it is not just about one symptom. Over time, the aim is to understand the pattern and help families manage triggers and daily symptoms. At times, this may involve looking at immune system concerns too, especially when a child’s health history suggests there could be an underlying immune issue.
Immunisation schedules for kids are another important part of the service. Keeping vaccines on track is a key part of protecting children’s health, and questions about timing, side effects, or special situations can come up. If a child has an allergy or immune-related condition, it can help to have a clinician who works across both allergy care and immune system assessment.
For parents, the goal is simple: clear testing, careful follow-up, and support that helps you feel more confident about managing your child’s health.
