Dr Mehrunnisa Shakeel Female GP in Surfers Paradise

Dr Mehrunnisa Shakeel — known to her patients as Mehru, is a female general practitioner at My Doctors Clinic Surfers Paradise, with more than 19 years of experience across hospital medicine and general practice. She holds an MBBS and is a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.

Before attaining her fellowship in general practice, Dr Mehrunnisa worked in hospital settings as a registrar across respiratory, renal, aged care, palliative care, cardiology, endocrinology, the diabetes clinic and the pain clinic in Northern Sydney (Royal North Shore Hospital). That breadth of exposure means she is comfortable managing several overlapping health problems within one consultation.

Her particular interests are women’s health, skin cancer medicine, mental health, chronic disease management and aged care. Her approach is preventative — early diagnosis and intervention rather than late treatment — and holistic, treating each patient as an individual rather than a set of results. Patients across the Gold Coast looking for a female doctor in Surfers Paradise will find her calm, thorough and easy to talk to.
