Professional Journey
Reema Hadi believes medicine is a responsibility, not just a profession. After graduating from University of New South Wales, she committed to over 12 years of intensive postgraduate surgical training. Her experience spans trauma surgery at major Sydney hospitals and original research—including a Masters by Research (UNSW)—that helped set national standards for infection control in Australian surgical theatres.
The "Women Helping Women" Philosophy
Dr Hadi understands that many women feel more comfortable discussing intimate concerns—such as breast, abdominal, or intimate anatomy—with a female surgeon. Having navigated a male-dominated field, she ensures that at The Swan Clinic, your concerns are never minimised.
Listen First
We believe the best surgery begins with an unhurried, honest conversation.
Advise Honestly
Dr Hadi will only recommend surgery if it is in your best interest.
Patient-Centric Care
From congenital differences to post-pregnancy restoration or recovery from cancer, every story is treated with dignity.
