Dr Sara Taher
Principle Doctor and Founder
In 2004, Dr. Sara Taher embarked on a remarkable career as a medical practitioner, dedicating herself to the well-being of her patients. Throughout the years, she nurtured a dream – a dream of having her own practice where she could offer personalized, compassionate care. Fast forward to 2024, and that dream has become a reality with the inception of GIGP.
Helen
Practice Manager
Helen has managed teams for over 30 years, starting her career at Telstra in 1994. After Telecommunications Helen entered the Health Industry, working as a receptionist in a medical clinic and after a few months became a Practice Manager. Helen continued her career in health by working in Aged Care for 4 years managing the direct care workforce and a team of admins for Community Services for an Aged Care Provider. Helen enjoys working at Glen Iris General Practice and looks forward to engaging the community further in educating in health initiatives. When Helen is not working at GIGP, in winter you will find her at the footy, a mad Tigers supporter and loves to make hand poured candles and reed diffusers for family and friends.
Colleen
Reception
After travelling around for most of her childhood, having lived in 6 different countries, and attending 6 different schools, Colleen is grateful to be back in Melbourne, her hometown, as she settles in for her medical school journey. She loves working at GIGP as it gives her insight into what running a private clinic would involve. When the sun comes out, you will see her at the beach or dream about going there.
Maddy
Reception
Originally from Queensland Maddy now calls Melbourne home (despite the terrible weather at times) When Maddy is not taking your phone calls or booking your next appointment you will find her knee deep in a bucket of freshly cut flowers, styling beautiful weddings and events all over Melbourne.
