Dr. Dharshini Cugadasan

MBBS

With three decades in general practice, Dr Dharshini Cugadasan combines deep clinical experience with an easy, reassuring manner that patients quickly come to trust. She graduated in Medicine from the University of Melbourne in 1995 and has spent her career caring for patients of every age, from newborns to grandparents.

She has developed expertise in musculoskeletal problems and joint pain — a common but often frustrating issue — alongside strong interests in women’s and children’s health. Dr Cugadasan believes good general practice is built on trust and communication and works hard to make every consultation feel unhurried.
