Dr Aishwarya (Ash) brings a vibrant and diverse background to her medical practice. Originally from New Zealand, she completed her training in bustling China, then honed her skills in rural Scotland and multicultural London. Her experience in oncology, geriatrics, and rehabilitation gives her deep insight into managing chronic pain, cancer side effects, insomnia, low appetite, and low mood. Her research experience in clinical drug trials further strengthens her understanding of medication effects and safety.

Now settled in Hobart and completing a Master’s in Public Health, Ash is passionate about improving care in her local community. She offers a fresh, patient-centred perspective and believes that medicine is about treating individuals, not just symptoms. Her goal is to support patients in reclaiming quality of life without compromising safety.

Ash is known for her warm, patient nature and thoughtful approach. She takes time to listen, address concerns, and involve patients at every step.

Outside of work she is a nature enthusiast at heart, you will find her in her element roaming National Parks while listening out for warbles or trying to identify ancient trees and fungi. A classic nerd. If it's a misty Sunday then she will have Elvis playing and be hovering over with her latest hobby, birds in watercolour, or experimenting with recipetineats. The food does come with a disclaimer - her cat Alfie begs you to remind her to stop baking.

Dr Ash’s prescriptions can be dispensed throughout Tasmania.
