Dr Ahmad Hasanien

General Practitioner, Male
FRACGP, MBBS

Dr Ahmad Hasanien loves working as a GP because there’s opportunity for genuine, ongoing connection with patients in a varied and interesting medical role. Ahmad had enjoyed the thrill of working in emergency medicine but never knew how people fared in the long run. And he loved obstetrics but it was always the same type of work — though delivering his own child was an incredible way to become a first-time dad! Ahmad loves the variety he encounters in general practice. Each patient is different, many cases are complex, and each person’s circumstances are unique. Ahmad takes the time to get to know his patients and shares things from his own life too, aiming to help them shift their thinking and develop a healthier lifestyle. Ahmad has post-graduate qualifications in child health, obstetrics and cosmetic skincare but his strongest interest is in skin cancer prevention and treatment. It’s one of the reasons he chose to work at Elm Rd. He felt he had something extra to offer to patients in need here as the outdoor lifestyle enjoyed by many in the stunning Northern Beaches means locals are at extremely high risk of developing skin cancer. Honesty is the quality Ahmad most admires. Some of his heroes are the great outspoken truth-tellers like Malcolm X and other men and women who dare to speak up for people without a voice.
