Dr Sarah Saw
MBBS | USYD , Dip Child Health, Grad Cert Skin Cancer Medicine, FRACGP, AMS
Sarah is the kind of GP who takes the time to truly understand her patients as individuals. As the new owner of Gordon Village General Practice, she brings over two decades of experience and a holistic approach to care. Sarah believes that great general practice begins with seeing the whole person — not just a set of symptoms, but the individual behind them.
Her approach is built on taking the time to truly understand each patient's health, circumstances and goals, so that every recommendation is thoughtful, evidence-based and genuinely tailored. She values the long-term relationships that general practice makes possible, and believes that the best care comes from a doctor who knows you well enough to notice the things that matter.
As the custodian of a practice approaching its centenary, Sarah is deeply committed to honouring the tradition of personal, unhurried medicine that Gordon Village General Practice was built on — while bringing a modern, proactive approach to helping her patients live well.

She recommends booking your travel consultation well in advance of your departure date to allow time for any vaccination schedules.
Weight Management
Sarah provides supportive, non-judgmental weight management consultations that focus on sustainable lifestyle changes, evidence-based strategies and long-term health outcomes rather than short-term fixes. She takes a whole-person approach, considering the medical, nutritional, psychological and lifestyle factors that contribute to each patient’s individual goals.

As a Member of the Australasian Menopause Society, Sarah has a special interest in supporting women through perimenopause and menopause with evidence-based, individualised care.
