My name is Dr Mariam: Twin mum to boy toddlers, compassionate GP, and dedicated advocate for women’s and family health! I earned my medical degree from the University of Wollongong in 2013, following my Bachelor of Medical Science (Honours) at the University of Sydney. My clinical training spans many hospitals, including Concord, Canterbury, St George, Sutherland, and Shoalhaven District Hospitals.

With a special focus on empowering women and supporting young families, I hold additional qualifications including a Family Planning Certificate in Sexual and Reproductive Health and a Diploma in Children’s Health. As an Antenatal Shared Care Provider, I collaborate with St George and Sutherland Hospitals to ensure comprehensive care throughout pregnancy and beyond.

My passion lies in evidence-based preventative medicine and delivering holistic, personalised care. I strive to support women and families at every stage, from preconception planning through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

Having experienced infertility and pregnancy loss, I understand the challenges of the fertility journey. I am committed to providing empathetic support to those navigating these experiences.

As a mother of a child with autism, I passionately advocate for early support for children with suspected neurodevelopmental disorders.

I believe in the power of improving health literacy, which I promote through my Instagram and TikTok channels under @ask.the.dr.

I am thrilled to embark on my journey with EK Medical.
