Janet Roddy is a rheumatologist based in Murdoch, WA, at 11 Robin Warren Drive. Rheumatology can sound a bit “joints and aches”, but her work goes further than that. She looks after people with immune-related and long-term conditions that affect the skin, blood vessels, lungs, and joints.
In many cases, patients she sees have connective tissue disorders such as scleroderma and systemic sclerosis (SSc), as well as mixed connective tissue disease and localised scleroderma. These conditions can come and go, and they can change over time, so follow-up and steady care matter.
Some people also need help when lung issues are part of the picture. Janet Roddy helps manage interstitial lung disease, including cases linked with acute interstitial pneumonia. She also supports patients dealing with pulmonary hypertension, which can be stressful and hard to explain to family and friends.
Her clinic also supports patients with other complex, ongoing problems. This can include watermelon stomach and angiodysplasia of the colon, where bleeding can be an issue. At times, people may come in with telangiectasia too, which is small visible blood vessels that can show up on the skin.
Not all her work is the “big headline” illness type. She also sees patients with conditions like SAPHO syndrome, and she may be involved in care for people with Klinefelter syndrome, depending on the needs of the full care team.
Over time, her focus stays on making sure symptoms are understood and plans are realistic. That often means working through what is happening, what to watch for next, and how to keep things stable as much as possible.
