Meredith L. Borland is a Pediatrician based in Crawley, WA. She works from 35 Stirling Hwy, Crawley, where families can bring their kids for careful, practical care.
Meredith looks after children and helps when things are not quite right. That can be everyday illnesses, like chest infections, coughs, and tummy bugs, but it can also be more urgent problems that need quick thinking and close follow-up. In many cases, she focuses on getting the right diagnosis, calming parents down, and making a clear plan for what happens next.
Care may cover breathing issues such as asthma flare-ups, pneumonia, and stridor, along with viral illnesses like parainfluenza. She also treats fevers and infection-related concerns, including sepsis, urinary tract infections in children, and conditions like viral gastroenteritis. When a child is wheezy, struggling to breathe, or not eating and drinking properly, Meredith aims to assess severity early and support the family through it.
Neurology is another part of the work. Meredith helps manage seizures, including absence seizures, generalised tonic-clonic seizures, and status epilepticus. At times, she also supports families dealing with headache, concussion, traumatic brain injury, and hyperventilation, especially when symptoms come on suddenly and the cause is not clear.
There are also times when allergic and reaction problems come up. Meredith helps assess and treat severe reactions such as anaphylaxis, where quick action matters. She can also assist with swallowing and face movement concerns, including facial paralysis.
Over time, Meredith’s paediatric training and clinical experience help guide decisions, from initial checks to ongoing care. Her approach stays grounded and clear—explaining what is going on, what tests might help, and what to watch for at home.
Meredith stays up to date with new paediatric research and evidence-based care. Where relevant, she may be involved in clinical trials, particularly for conditions where new treatments are being studied and better options are still being explored.
For families in Crawley and the wider WA area, the goal is simple: safe care for kids, steady communication, and plans that make sense.
