“With over 15 years of experience, I am a family physician focused on women’s health & menopause, chronic disease management, and lifestyle medicine. Having lived and worked in various parts of the world, I completed my postgraduate qualifications in London, which has given me further confidence and experience to care for various communities from newborns to the elderly. Getting to know and care for the whole family is integral to my practice, it is the part of General Practice I love! I believe communication and confidentiality are key and are two of the best resources at our disposal as doctors, to build trust and relationships with those in our care.
I am a keen tennis player and believe that the balance of exercise, nutrition, and wellbeing across all ages leads to the prevention of disease and disability.
