Alisa L. Hawley is a paediatric gastroenterologist based in Parkville, VIC. Her practice is located at 50 Flemington Road, Parkville, VIC 3052, Australia. She looks after babies and children who have gut and oesophagus problems, including issues that start from birth and can affect feeding, growth, and day-to-day comfort.
In many cases, children are referred because of reflux and related symptoms. That can include gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) and gastro-oesophageal reflux in infants. At times, reflux can be more than “just spit up”, so families want someone who can work through what is going on and what helps most.
Alisa also treats children who have more specific structural or connection problems in the oesophagus. This includes oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula. These conditions can be complex, and treatment often needs careful follow-up over time, especially as a child grows. Gastrointestinal fistula is also part of the conditions she manages.
Another area of care is oesophageal perforation. When this happens, it can be urgent and needs prompt attention. Even after the initial phase, ongoing support is important, because swallowing and feeding can be affected and symptoms may change as healing progresses.
Alisa’s clinical work focuses on helping families understand the problem, what to watch for, and what treatment options may be considered. The goal is steady, practical care that fits in with home life. If you’re looking for a paediatric gastroenterology doctor in Parkville for reflux or oesophageal conditions, Alisa L. Hawley is based at Flemington Road and provides care for children with the conditions listed above.
