Women’s Health GP Perth

Who is Dr Sunita ?
Growing up in Western Australia and attending school here she spread her wings abroad to study medicine in Dublin, Ireland. She returned home to Perth to find her mother, also a GP, diagnosed with ovarian cancer. This impacted her growth as a doctor in the early years and initially, she pursued surgery as a career completing the first part of the surgical fellowship.

Meeting her husband and with the prospect of family ahead of her, Sunita decided General Practice would be a better fit. Naturally, she became attracted to the many medical challenges faced by women, young and old.

As a women's health GP I am here to help you with painful/heavy periods, PCOS, contraception including Implanon & IUD insertion, fertility, preconception, urinary incontinence and menopause.

Being a mother of two beautiful and spirited girls Dr Sunita thoroughly enjoy family medicine.

Women are often the nidus of their family but may themselves lack support and the nurturing oversight that they provide others.

Dr Sunita understands that a woman’s consciousness is divided into many roles -whether it be mother/working woman/wife/partner/daughter or friend. These extensive demands often mean women leave their physical and mental wellbeing to the last on their long list of things to do.

Too often I see women who are completely depleted and have only sought help at a late stage as they can no longer function in their lives. As a specialist women's health GP I want to help women properly prioritize their health and wellbeing. I am passionate about helping women of all ages overcome the many unique health challenges that women face. I draw experience not only from my own life but from many years in general practice.
