Dr. Frances Pengelly studied medicine at UNSW, graduating with honors. Early in her residency, she realised that becoming a general practitioner would allow her to balance her career with family life. Wanting to be an old-fashioned family doctor who could deliver babies and care for entire generations, she moved to the country to gain skills in obstetrics and emergency medicine. There, she became a vital part of a community where she provided comprehensive care to families. Dr. Pengelly is now committed to continuing this work in Sydney, guiding her patients through every stage of their health journey.
Having seen women in rural areas face various physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges while caring for their families and communities, Dr. Pengelly believes that when women are in good health, it benefits everyone. As a daughter, mother, sister, and friend, she is passionate about contributing to this ideal as a women’s general practitioner.
Dr. Pengelly resides in The Hills Shire with her husband and their four young children. She volunteers as a treasurer at a local playgroup and attends church with her family on Sundays. Life is busy with a large extended family, but whenever she has a moment, you’ll find her enjoying a good book or two.
Rouse Hill Medical & Dental Centre
Initially driven by necessity, as waiting lists for women’s health specialists in rural areas can be up to two years, Dr. Frances Pengelly was inspired by the women she cared for. She realized the profound impact she could have by listening to their problems and offering both medical and practical advice.
