Dr. Dina West
General Practitioner (MBBS, FRACGP)
Past Experience:
Dina has always wanted to be a small community Doctor since she moved to Australia, having worked in the small rural town of Canungra, Qld for 8 years before moving to Perth.
Dina undertook her medical training at University of Notre Dame, Fremantle and previously worked at Aubin Grove.
What I enjoy about being a GP:
As a GP who fell in love with rural life, I value being able to contribute to my local area and enjoy the challenges that rural medicine presents. I value being a Doctor for a whole family and making a difference in my patients' health and their overall lives.
Special Interests:
Dina is an experienced General Practitioner, with a broad range of skills including general medicine, Implanon insertion and removal, Venepuncture, IV Cannulation, arterial blood gases collection, suturing, digital nerve block, cryotherapy and plaster application.
Personal Interests:
Denmark holds a special place in her heart since her husband proposed on Elephant Rocks and she subsequently got married in Denmark. Outside of work, Dina has a hobby business named Dr Di, which she uses as a type of meditation to make beautiful organic soaps, skincare products and candles. Her latest hobby is working with Epoxy Resin and Polymer Clay Craft.
