Susan E. Adams is a Pediatric Gastroenterologist based in Parkville, NSW. Her practice address is 35 Poplar Road, Parkville, NSW 3052, Australia. She looks after babies, children, and teens with gut, liver, and tummy-related health issues, from early feeding problems through to more complex conditions.
In many cases, families come in because their child has long-lasting tummy discomfort, trouble swallowing, or ongoing reflux. Susan also helps with conditions like gastroesophageal reflux in infants and eosinophilic esophagitis, where the food pipe gets irritated and swallowing can be hard.
Sometimes the concerns are more urgent. Susan works with children who need care around things like appendicitis, dehydration, and viral gastroenteritis. At times, kids also need support when there are bowel or feeding concerns after birth, such as gastroschisis, omphalocele, or esophageal atresia. These are tough situations, and the care often needs to be steady and well planned.
She also treats liver and bile-related conditions, including biliary atresia and other issues that can affect how a child’s liver works. For some children, blood-related problems can be part of the picture too, such as blood clots and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Susan’s focus is on making sure the stomach and gut side of things is managed carefully alongside the rest of the team.
Another area she works with is children who need long-term support for feeding and digestion, including children with gastrostomy. She also looks after paediatric cases that can involve growth and nutrition, such as cystic fibrosis. Over time, her role is about helping families understand what is happening, what to watch for, and what the next steps usually look like.
There are also some uncommon conditions in paediatric care that can show up in the stomach and gut area. Susan helps with things like Dubin-Johnson syndrome and Cystic dysplasia involving the gut and skin in complex ways, plus vascular birthmarks such as hemangioma and familial multiple nevi flammei. She can be involved in care plans where children also have issues like umbilical hernia, stork bite, and vascular birthmark needs assessed.
Overall, Susan E. Adams brings calm, practical paediatric gastro care for a wide range of conditions, with attention to both the medical side and the day-to-day reality families live with.
