Donna T. Geddes is a paediatrician in Crawley, WA. Her clinic is at M310, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, WA 6009.
Donna looks after babies and children, especially when things are not quite going to plan. In many cases, families come in with concerns about feeding, growth, and day-to-day illnesses that can feel worrying when you are in the middle of it.
She helps with tongue tie and feeding problems, and she also supports families with concerns around premature babies. Premature infants often need extra checks, and Donna focuses on helping parents understand what to expect and what to watch for as their child grows.
Skin issues can be another big part of the work. Donna treats conditions like atopic dermatitis, and she can also look at flare-ups that come and go, so families know how to manage them at home.
Donna is also there for common infections and respiratory problems. That can include colds and COVID-19, where symptoms might be mild for some kids but still scary for parents. At times, she helps sort out what is normal, what needs monitoring, and when it is worth getting checked sooner.
Breastfeeding and early parent support can come up too. She looks at breast infection concerns, which can affect feeding and comfort. In these situations, it is often about getting timely care and practical steps that make things a bit easier.
Some visits focus on breathing or noisy breathing in babies. Donna can assess laryngomalacia, a condition where the voice box area can be a bit floppy, and it can affect sounds and breathing patterns.
For older kids, she also works on weight and health. That includes childhood obesity, with a calm approach that avoids blame and keeps things realistic for everyday life.
Alongside clinical care, Donna keeps an eye on the bigger picture for families. For example, she may support follow-up needs for children born after gestational diabetes. Over time, this helps families feel more confident about how their child is tracking.
