Peter C. Richmond is a paediatrician based in Perth, WA. His clinic is at 35 Stirling Highway, Perth, WA 6009, Australia. He looks after babies, children, and young people, especially when they are dealing with health problems that need careful follow-up.
In day to day practice, Peter focuses on childhood illnesses and how they affect the whole family. Over time, he has supported kids with things like ear infections and fluid behind the eardrum, ongoing coughs, and chest infections such as pneumonia and bronchitis. At times, he also helps families when breathing symptoms show up, including asthma in children and more severe chest conditions like bronchiectasis and COPD.
Peter also works with kids who have nervous system and fever-related issues. This includes seizures, meningitis, and genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+). He’s seen how frightening these situations can feel, especially when a child is very unwell or has a high fever. Getting the right tests and a clear plan matters, and that’s where steady guidance helps.
There are also allergy and skin concerns he commonly treats. This can include hives, atopic dermatitis, food allergy, and episodes of anaphylaxis. He helps parents understand triggers, what to watch for, and what to do if symptoms flare up.
For babies and younger children, Peter may be involved when infections are serious or need close monitoring. This can include neonatal sepsis, premature infant care needs, and other serious infections like pertussis, tetanus, diphtheria, measles, chickenpox, and shingles. He also looks at headaches in children and hearing concerns, where getting the cause right makes a big difference.
If a child has a condition that affects growth, immune health, or longer-term recovery, Peter can also help. For example, chronic graft versus host disease (cGvHD) is something he would manage as part of ongoing care, along with other complex health needs that come with repeated infections.
