Dr Siva Krishnan

Coming from a family of physicians, pursuing a career in medicine felt like a natural path. After graduating from the University of Western Australia in 1982, I was drawn to a holistic approach to care and established a solo practice in Kelmscott, where I worked for over 20 years.

As a traditional family GP, my work included home and hospital visits, obstetrics, and minor surgical procedures. I have a clinical interest in complementary medicine, including acupuncture, and an interest in Ayurveda (traditional Indian medicine).

I also have an interest in emerging therapies, including cannabinoid-based treatments, within current Australian regulatory frameworks.

Recognising the importance of continuity of care for older patients, I have spent the past 15 years primarily working in residential aged care facilities.
