David Lambkin is a Paediatrician based in New Lambton Heights, NSW, Australia. He looks after children and young people who need careful help with their health, especially when symptoms can be hard to explain at first. In many cases, families are trying to sort out what’s going on day to day, and the goal is to bring things into focus in a calm, practical way.
David works with kids who may be dealing with conditions linked to immune responses after infections. One example is paediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with Streptococcus infections, sometimes talked about as PANDAS. This can show up as sudden changes in behaviour or thinking, and it can also bring on new or worse anxiety and compulsive symptoms. He also supports children with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), where routines, thoughts, or urges can take up a lot of time and make everyday life feel stressful.
Alongside these mental health and immune-related presentations, David also cares for children who have peripheral neuropathy. That’s when nerves in the arms or legs don’t work as they should, and it can lead to pain, tingling, numbness, or changes in feeling. At times, these symptoms can affect sleep, school, sport, and mood, so he takes a whole-kid view rather than only focusing on one piece.
Over time, paediatrics means being used to different family stories and different learning styles for parents. David helps families understand what the symptoms might mean, what can be checked, and what options are available for support. He also knows that no two kids are the same, even when they share the same diagnosis name.
In terms of experience, he brings hands-on day-to-day experience caring for paediatric patients with complex needs. His education includes completing medical training, plus ongoing professional learning to stay up to date with how children’s care is done.
There is no specific research or clinical trial information listed here. Still, he keeps informed about current, practical guidance used in children’s health care, so families can get advice that matches what’s known and what’s helpful in real life.
