Services
General Practice
Our general practice is open to everyone. No matter your gender, age, sexual orientation or other, Dr Issma Katib is here to discuss your individual needs and concerns to facilitate the best health outcomes for you.
Mental Health
Whether you want to first employ only a natural approach, or need a little added support through medication we are here to tailor the management plan to your needs. Our in-house psychologists also provide support for things like anxiety, social anxiety, depression, addiction, grief counselling.
We also like to look at baseline hormonal imbalances and address the nutritional status with help from our nutritionist as well.
Hormonal Imbalances
From libido or weight gain concerns to heat intolerance, brain fog and lethargy, hormonal imbalances may not always show up clearly in a typical blood test. By having a team of experienced health practitioners we are able to treat symptoms and match medication and doses according to a patients individual needs.
Medical Paperwork
Whether you need forms filled out, a repeat referral letter for a stable condition, overseas immunisations uploaded to AIR/Medicare or insurance forms completed, this can be done during a private consult or without the patient present at a fixed rate per unit of time.
Please contact our receptionist directly for further details.
Adolescent Medicine
Set up an introductory appointment for your teen, after which they will be able to self present for follow up as needed. Give your teen the means to be their own health advocate. Whether they present to talk about school stressors, eating habits, vaping, sexual health or even regular lifestyle habits be confident knowing that they are in obtaining information from reliable and trustworthy sources. We do also have a psychologist that focuses on teen health that does also see patients alongside Dr Katib for that added support.
Pathology collection on-site
4cyte pathology is available on-site for blood collection on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 to 1pm.
Best to book an appointment to avoid waiting, though walk-ins are welcome too. Our practitioners order both medicare and private tests based on individual needs.
Menstrual concerns
Whether it is an irregular cycle or you have concerns around pain and other symptoms, we can address these concerns with a systematic and holistic approach. Starting with a comprehensive history and examination followed by investigations. We work with you to put together a management plan to help get your life back on track.
Specific management plans for polycystic ovaries (PCOS) & Premenstrual Dysphoric disorder (PMDD) involve our nutritionist, psychologists as well as the help from exercise physiologists nearby.
Functioning with Neurodiversity
Medication is only one aspect of managing traits related to high functioning ADHD or ASD. Are your normal nutrition levels optimal for your specific brain? Let’s utilize sleep, nutrition, movement and mindset to support Neurodiverse minds.

Eating Disorders

General wellbeing is holistic; it considers the whole person, including body, mind, spirit, and emotions, in the quest for optimal health, wellness and balance. In your consultation, Dr Issma Katib may discuss both conventional medication and alternative therapies to create your wellbeing plan.

Iron Infusions
Are you feeling tired in the morning as soon as you wake up? Low iron levels is a main cause of lethargy and low energy levels, especially in women aged 18-50. We can test your iron levels to see if you’re deficient, and recommend options including iron infusions, which can be administered in our practice.
