Specialist Women’s Health Care for Every Stage of Life
I have an immense passion for supporting women through their health journey and empowering them to make informed choices.
I have been in medical practice for over 15 years, and now I am focussing entirely on Women’s health. I am grateful to all the women that have shared their stories with me and allowed me to gain insight and expertise in this area of health care.
The science and art of hormonal health, pregnancy and childbirth has always been a keen interest of mine. However over many years I have developed a curiosity around how Women’s health is different. It is not simply “bikini medicine” where the only focus is on breast and gynaecological issues.
Spending many hours working with women at different stages of life has allowed me to notice patterns that inform my practice. It is a great pleasure to work with Women in partnership to achieve their unique health goals.
My approach to care is around my core values- empathy, integrity and excellence.
“I want women to feel seen and heard when they leave my consulting room. That I have addressed their concerns with compassion. I believe in working in partnership with the individual and I want them to feel that they have been able to form a plan for their concerns, based upon available evidence. The care is person centred.
I spend lots of time outside my consulting hours staying up to date with the latest research around Women’s health, I feel that this allows me to give an excellent service, based upon knowledge, experience and emerging data.”
Meet Dr Lucy Ryan
BBIOMEDSC, MBBS, FRACGP, DRANZCOG
MEMBER OF THE AUSTRALASIAN MENOPAUSE SOCIETY
Dr Lucy Ryan is a GP with a special interest in all aspects of Women's Health. Lucy graduated from Sydney University in 2008. She went on to complete a Diploma in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 2009 and became a fellow of the Royal College of General Practitioners in 2014.
She is known for her comprehensive and compassionate approach to care. Lucy currently consults at JUNO Specialists, where she supports women through all stages of life.
Outside of work, Lucy is usually in a tracksuit, playing with a very active 5 year old or sitting around the dinner table with her husband and kids discussing key issues such as who is top of the ladder in the Aussie rules, or what the current trends are in ear-rings for teenagers.
Her busy days start with a run or a walk with Betty dog (who is also approaching middle age), in the dark early hours of a chilly Melbourne morning (usually listening to a medical podcast).
Get in touch
Lucy currently consults at JUNO Specialists from Monday to Thursday, where patients are welcomed into a supportive, compassionate environment. Consultations are longer than the standard GP appointment, giving you the space to discuss your health concerns without feeling rushed.
