Maven Journal

Maven Centre is excited to welcome our friend and colleague Dr Samara Radford to the team. A generalist gynaecologist, Samara has also completed additional qualifications in acupuncture, which may be of benefit for patients with neck pain, fibromyalgia, and persistent pelvic pain (amongst other issues). Samara's additional special interests (such as colposcopy and family planning) complement the current team's skillset nicely, while her delightful personality is welcomed by all.

Maven Centre is honoured to have dietician Stacey Vas join our multi-disciplinary team! Stacey brings many years of experience with her, and shares Maven Centre's ethos of taking a holistic, patient-centered approach to anyone who seeks our care. Stacey has special interests in fertility, pregnancy, PCOS, endometriosis and dysautonomia, and the benefits of nutritionist expertise when applied to these areas.

Maven Centre has recently welcomed our second specialist women's health GP, Dr Phillippa Wootton. Originally from the UK, she has been practicing in women's health in Melbourne's western suburbs for over eight years. We are honoured to have her as part of our multi-disciplinary team!

When not enjoying an 'escape room' or two with her Australian husband and children, she provides warm-hearted, individualised care to her patients. Read on, to get to know her a bit better!
