One team, many strengths

Our GPs, nurses and specialists collaborate seamlessly—combining diverse expertise to deliver thoughtful, coordinated care that meets every patient’s unique needs.

Thoughtful care starts here 

North St Ives Medical Practice is a clinic shaped by time. 

Nestled among the whispering gums of Warrimoo Avenue and the familiar cafés of St Ives Chase, we’ve stood as a pillar of care for more than 40 years – rooted in community spirit and loyal to the stories that have shaped this suburb across generations. 

The soft red glow of our surgery light is more than tradition. It’s a quiet promise: that your doctor will know your name and given time, your grandchildren’s too. 

We respect the past, embrace the challenges of today, and care deeply for the health of this remarkable place we call home. 

Founded in 1982 by Dr. Peter Hopkins, North St Ives Medical Practice quickly became a cornerstone of community healthcare as it expanded to meet the growing demand for quality medical services. What began as a solo practice has evolved into a dynamic team of highly skilled and dedicated GPs committed to providing exceptional care.

Over the past four decades, we have built a reputation for thorough and compassionate healthcare, serving the families of the North Shore with dedication and expertise. As we approach our 50th anniversary, we continue to adapt and expand, welcoming new team members and enhancing our services to better serve the St Ives community.

Our focus remains on delivering personalised and comprehensive care that meets the evolving needs of our patients. We are excited about the future and look forward to continuing to provide outstanding healthcare to you and your family.

Our Pledge to You

Unwavering quality, genuine respect, and dedication beyond expectation.

Continuity that spans generations 

Many of our patients remember coming here as children. Now, they walk through the doors with families of their own. 


Conversations before prescriptions 

We believe expert medicine begins with unhurried listening. Every consultation is a space to share concerns, explore options, and leave with a plan you truly understand. 


One team, many strengths 

Many of our patients remember coming here as children. Now, they walk through the doors with families of their own. 


Local and independent, by choice 

We set our own pace. That means longer appointments when needed, a focus on quality over quotas, and the freedom to invest in services that reflect what our community actually needs.
