Roxanne E. Strachan is a pulmonologist based on High Street in Randwick, NSW 2031. She looks after people with lung and chest problems, from short-term infections to longer-term breathing conditions.
In day-to-day care, she often helps with things like pneumonia and pleural effusion, where fluid can build up around the lungs. At times, she also supports patients who’ve had more serious infections such as empyema, which is pus collected near the lung. These are not “quick fixes” for most people, so she focuses on steady treatment and clear follow-up.
Roxanne also sees patients who live with cystic fibrosis. That can involve ongoing lung issues and infections, plus other linked health problems. For example, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency can show up in cystic fibrosis, and it can affect digestion and nutrition. Managing both the breathing side and the body’s other needs is often part of the plan.
She may also treat infections linked to the airways, including pneumonia caused by specific bacteria. Some people need help with less common infections such as Pseudomonas stutzeri infections, especially when they have ongoing lung disease or frequent flare-ups. And for simpler but still unpleasant illnesses like the common cold and strep throat, she can help sort out when symptoms are expected to settle and when they need a lung check too.
Roxanne brings practical experience caring for patients with a wide range of respiratory conditions. Over time, this kind of work trains you to stay calm when symptoms shift, to look at trends in breathing and chest symptoms, and to work through the next step in a way that feels manageable.
Her medical education supports this work in lung health, with a focus on respiratory medicine. If you’re looking for research or clinical trial involvement, specific details aren’t listed here, but the main emphasis is on getting patients the right treatment and keeping plans up to date as things change.
