New GP Practice opens in Parkes
After years in the making, Parkes has welcomed the opening of a much-needed new general practice: Twin Green HealthCare – Caring for you, Close to home.
The owner and practice manager, Prashanth Parthiban, said, “The road wasn’t easy, and it took a while before we were finally able to bring the announcement of the opening of Twin Green HealthCare to reality.”
The idea for the clinic was sparked during the post-COVID doctor shortage, when long appointment wait times and limited access to care may have forced many residents to travel for basic medical needs.
“At one point, despite having a doctor in my own family, I couldn’t get an appointment in town for over six weeks,” Parthiban said.
“That’s when we truly felt the urgency to do something.”
Twin Green HealthCare aims to help cater to some of the local community’s healthcare needs. Leading the clinical team is Dr. Madie, a Family Medicine Specialist with nearly 16 years of experience in general practice.
She graduated from Pakistan in 2008 and achieved her MRCGP in 2016. Dr. Madie is known for her holistic approach to care, with a strong focus on empathy and patient-centered treatment.
The opening of Twin Green HealthCare is an exciting achievement in improving access to primary care services for the Parkes community.
