Location

Warringah Medical and Dental Centre

I have always been very interested in preventative medicine and health screening. Allied to this is my special interest in women’s health and paediatrics for which I completed specialist diplomas in London.

Historically, I have always had a medical practice with a predominance of young mums and their children. Over time, as they grew and became older, it was then a natural transition for me to develop, out of necessity and interest, some expertise in the menopause and hormone replacement therapy.
