Our Doctors

I am originally from Malaysia, I completed my medical degree from University of Leicester, UK in 2001. I obtained my membership with The Royal College of General Practitioners in 2008. I previously worked as a GP in Cambridgeshire for 6 years, I was involved in GP registrar training for the Eastern Deanery and medical students from Cambridge University.

My special interests are preventative, women’s and children’s health and education. When I’m not hard at work, I love spending time with my boys (husband & son) enjoying trips out exploring Lake Mac’s and surrounding areas, and a bit of gardening as well as serious attempts to keep my plants alive (just about).

I grew up and studied medicine in Melbourne graduating in 1986. I did part of my training in Queensland then  I spent 12 years working in rural Western Australia including 10 years in the Kimberley working in Aboriginal health before coming to the Lake Macquarie area in 2000.

For 10 years I also worked as a senior lecturer in Rural General Practice at the University of Newcastle. I have 3 daughters. I love Swimming at the beach, gardening and bushwalking with my family

I graduated from Madras Medical College in India. I them completed my general practitioner training in India and moved with my family to the UK where I worked as a gp in Mersey region of England. Whilst I enjoyed my time in the UK we were drawn to Australia where I moved to our forever home in 2013 and I have now been happily working at the Swansea Medical Centre since this time. I continue to enjoy my work as a doctor here and my patient relations that I have built up. I have special interest in Chronic diseases. And away from Swansea Medical Centre, I very much enjoy cooking and spending time with my kids.

My primary interests are in children’s health; ear, nose and throat conditions; and aged care. I also take a keen interest in skin checks and excising suspicious lesions as needed.

I think general practice is not just treating a patient but getting to know the person as a whole. Providing support for a patient – not just when you are sick – but when you come in and say, “I am lost, Doc. I don’t know what to do”. It is the trust that my patients come in with that I enjoy and respect. It gives me immense pleasure seeing my patients get on with life, with whatever support I could provide. 

I can sometimes be slow with my consults, as I try to give my 100% to every patient, without compromise.

I like music, dance and spending time with my kids.

I have obtained my basic medical degree from India. I then Pursued further specialised  training in the UK to become a General Practitioner. After moving to Australia I started working at Swansea medical centre in 2009 and continue to love my work here at Swansea.

I have taken great pleasure in getting to know my patients and enjoy the continuation of care I get to experience in a general practice setting. I am passionate about preventive medicine with a focus on holistic care, chronic disease management, mental health and skin cancer management including minor surgeries.

When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my kids. I love nature and travelling and I also enjoy playing tennis and badminton.
