About of Aris Siafarikas

Aris Siafarikas is a Pediatric Endocrinologist based in Nedlands, WA. The practice address is 15 Hospital Avenue, Nedlands, WA 6009, Australia. Aris looks after kids and teenagers with hormone and growth-related health problems, where small changes can make a big difference to how a child grows, feels, and develops.


In clinic, care often focuses on issues linked to the body’s chemical messengers, like hormones and blood sugar. That can include growth hormone deficiency and hypopituitarism, where children may not grow as expected or may feel tired and unwell. At times, support is also needed for low blood sugar (including newborn low blood sugar), and for Type 1 Diabetes, so families get clear plans for safer day-to-day care.


Aris also helps with conditions that affect bones and minerals. This can include rickets and osteomalacia, along with problems like hypophosphatemia and nephrocalcinosis. In some cases, the goal is to work out why bones are not getting the right nutrients or signals, and then help with treatment that matches the child’s needs.


There are also hormone-related conditions involving the adrenal glands. For example, Addison’s disease can cause ongoing tiredness and issues with salt and energy, and it needs steady management and close follow-up. Other complex developmental and endocrine conditions may be assessed too, including familial hypopituitarism and septo-optic dysplasia.


Beyond hormones and growth, Aris may see children where nutrition and weight problems play a role, including malnutrition. At times, referrals also involve broader health concerns such as certain genetic or muscle conditions, and others that can overlap with endocrine care.
