Nancy J. Sturman is a paediatrician based in Herston, QLD 4006. She looks after children who are unwell, and she helps families make sense of what’s going on. When a child’s breathing or voice changes, or a baby is getting checked for something more serious, it can feel scary. Nancy keeps things calm and clear, and she explains the next steps in plain language.
In her day-to-day work, she often sees problems like croup and laryngitis. These conditions can come on suddenly, with a barking cough, hoarse voice, or noisy breathing. At times, kids can feel distressed and parents don’t know whether it’s “watch and wait” or time to be seen. Nancy focuses on assessing the child’s symptoms, checking how they’re travelling, and making a safe plan for home care or treatment if needed.
She also works with infants and young babies, including cases where high blood pressure in infants is a concern. High blood pressure in very young children is not something people usually expect, so it can be a tough situation for families. Nancy takes the time to talk through what doctors are checking, why it matters, and what follow-up might look like. In many cases, it’s about getting accurate readings and ruling things out step by step.
As a paediatrician, Nancy supports a wide range of childhood health needs, not just the headline conditions. Children grow quickly, and symptoms can change over hours or days. Over time, she’s built her clinic approach around listening closely to parents, watching how the child presents in the room, and thinking about the whole picture rather than one single symptom.
Care can start with a clear conversation. Nancy explains the likely causes, what needs urgent attention, and what can be managed with the right treatment. She also helps families understand when to seek help again, because that part often matters as much as the first visit.
Nancy J. Sturman’s main service work includes croup, laryngitis, and high blood pressure in infants. If your child is dealing with breathing, voice, or other worrying symptoms, she can help you work out what’s most likely and what to do next.
