Andrew Biggin is a Pediatric Endocrinologist based in Westmead, NSW 2145, Australia. He looks after children and teens with hormone and growth-related health issues, especially where calcium, bones, and metabolism are involved.
In clinic, Andrew helps families when tests point to problems like rickets or vitamin D deficiency. He also works with kids who have trouble with calcium levels, bone health, or slower growth. Sometimes the issue is linked to something the body struggles to process properly, and that can show up in the bones, muscles, or energy levels.
He also sees children with conditions that affect bone strength and structure. This can include osteogenesis imperfecta and osteomalacia, as well as calcium build-ups such as nephrocalcinosis. Other times, a child may be dealing with issues like hypophosphatemia or hypercalcemia, where the balance of minerals needs careful review and ongoing support.
Andrew’s work can also touch on broader nutrition and absorption problems. For example, he may help when malnutrition is part of the story, or when a vitamin and mineral imbalance is making symptoms worse. At times, kids with more complex genetic or rare conditions also come through his care, including X-linked forms of hypophosphatemia and spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia.
Because many paediatric endocrine problems are long-term, Andrew tends to focus on getting the plan right, then keeping an eye on how things change over time. That means listening to what’s happening at home, understanding how symptoms are tracking, and adjusting treatment as needed as children grow.
Andrew has training and experience in caring for children with endocrine and bone-related conditions. His education includes the core medical work needed to assess hormone issues, and he brings that knowledge to everyday clinic decisions.
He works with Westmead families and teams caring for children across NSW. The goal is simple: help kids feel better, support healthy growth, and reduce the chances of complications from bone and mineral problems.
