Jan E. Liebelt is a Pediatric Endocrinologist based in Dulwich, SA, Australia. Jan looks after children and teens who need help with hormone and growth problems, as well as some related conditions that can affect day-to-day health and development.
In many cases, this kind of care involves working out what’s going on when a child’s growth pattern changes, when hormone levels are not sitting right, or when there are signs that point to an underlying condition. Jan also supports families when children have complex medical needs and may see several specialists over time.
Jan’s clinic care includes children with congenital hypothyroidism and hypothyroidism, along with growth concerns such as gigantism. There are also endocrine-linked conditions that can come with other health challenges, including septo-optic dysplasia and hypotonia (low muscle tone). At times, families may also be managing issues related to head growth, like an increased head circumference.
Alongside hormone and growth matters, Jan supports kids with other medical diagnoses that often travel together with endocrine care. This can include children with epilepsy, and autism spectrum disorder, as well as genetic and developmental conditions such as NF1 (neurofibromatosis type 1) and Sotos and Weaver syndromes. Jan also works with families where there are facial or jaw differences, including micrognathia.
Some children also need help with things like umbilical hernia and other hernia-related concerns. And when rare syndromes are involved—like Marshall-Smith syndrome or Miller syndrome—endocrine input can be part of the bigger picture.
Jan E. Liebelt brings a calm, practical approach to paediatric care in Dulwich. The focus is on getting clear answers, keeping treatment plans steady, and helping families understand what to watch for as their child grows.
