Dr Birgit Marchand is a Paediatric Allergist and Immunologist based in Southport on the Gold Coast. She works out of Pacific Private Clinic, Suite 3B, Level 4, 123 Nerang Street, Southport QLD 4215.
Kids can get allergy symptoms that are confusing for families. Things like itchy rashes, wheeze, tummy upset after certain foods, or recurring cough can all have different causes. Dr Marchand helps sort out what might be going on, using allergy testing for children and careful history-taking to guide next steps.
A big part of her work is looking after food allergy concerns. When a child reacts to a food, it can feel scary and stressful at home. Dr Marchand focuses on food allergy evaluation for kids, helping families understand triggers, how to stay safe, and what to do if symptoms show up.
Asthma is another key area. Some children have ongoing breathing issues that come and go, especially with colds, exercise, or seasonal changes. Dr Marchand supports families with asthma management in children, aiming for a plan that fits real life and helps reduce flare-ups where possible.
She also provides immunization shots for kids. Vaccines can be a worry for parents, particularly if there are existing allergies or a history of reactions. In many cases, having a clear plan and the right monitoring makes things easier to manage.
Dr Marchand’s clinical focus sits across paediatric allergy and immune-related conditions. That means she understands both the medical side and the day-to-day impact on kids and carers. At times, it can take a few steps to get answers, and she keeps the process calm and clear as things are worked through.
In terms of background, her training and work are aligned with paediatric allergy and immunology care. She speaks English, Afrikaans, and German, which can help some families feel more at ease during appointments.
