David R. Lubans is a Pediatric Endocrinologist based on University Drive in Callaghan, NSW, Australia.
He looks after children and teens where growth, hormones, and long-term health are getting in the way. In many cases, that means working with families around weight and obesity, including obesity in children. It can be a tough subject for young people and parents, so appointments are usually about practical next steps, not blame or shame.
People also come in with concerns connected to type 2 diabetes (T2D). Type 2 diabetes in kids can creep up over time, and it often links with changes in appetite, activity, and weight. David helps explain what’s happening in plain terms, and supports families with a plan they can actually fit into school, sport, and everyday life.
Alongside these hormone and metabolic topics, David’s service list also includes congenital heart disease (CHD), including tricuspid atresia. That can mean coordinating care when a child has more than one health issue going on at once. It’s the kind of situation where clear communication matters, because treatment choices may need to consider how the whole child is doing, not just one problem in isolation.
In practice, the focus is on careful assessment, steady follow-up, and helping families feel more confident about what to do next. If a diagnosis is new, the goal is to slow things down and make it easier to understand. Over time, care can also support healthier routines and help reduce future risk, especially for conditions like obesity and type 2 diabetes.
