Dr Debbie as she is known to many of her younger patients has been working at Inkerman Medical since 1995 and she has been a partner since 2000.
As well as being a busy mother and now grandmother, Dr Debbie focuses on the health and well being of all patients through emphasis on a healthy lifestyle. Her main interests are in women and children’s health as well as diet and nutrition, especially the impact of healthy eating in pregnancy and beyond. She is very much proponent of the emerging trends in nutrition that focus on less consumptionof processed foods, refined sugars and starches. In 2013 she was involved in the making of a movie, "That Sugar Film", due to be released in late 2014.
Although her skills as a seamstress are not renowned, she also enjoys the procedural life of a GP. In addition to suturing wounds and removing lesions, she is accredited to insert and remove Implanon implants.
Dr Debbie is accredited through the Royal Women’s Hospital as a shared care GP to deliver top quality care prior to conception, throughout pregnancy and after delivery. She also works as one of the GP’s at the Masada Mother Baby Unit and she is involved in the post natal care of both mother and baby, especially in dealing with transition to parenthood and the mental health of parents at this exciting, but often stressful, time of their life.
