Dr Heather Shribman

‘The greatest wealth is health’ - Virgil

Dr Heather Shribman brings warmth, expertise and a genuine commitment to women's health to Ponti Health. With over a decade of experience in the public hospital system and across community settings, she understands that true health extends far beyond treating symptoms—it's about understanding the whole person and creating sustainable pathways to wellbeing.

Heather's special interests span women's health, antenatal care, metabolic health, weight management and chronic disease prevention. She's completed advanced training in family planning, sexual health and paediatrics, including the Sydney Child Health Program and the FPAA National Certificate in Reproductive and Sexual Health. Her background in emergency medicine and rural healthcare has shaped her into a doctor who listens deeply, thinks holistically and acts decisively when it matters most.

What sets Heather apart is her belief in proactive, personalised care. She's passionate about early intervention and working collaboratively with patients to develop health plans that actually fit into real life. Rather than quick fixes, she focuses on meaningful lifestyle changes that stick—because sustainable health is the only kind worth pursuing.

Those years in the hospital system taught Heather to navigate complex health challenges with both clinical rigour and compassion. At Ponti Health, she thrives in our multidisciplinary environment where specialists collaborate seamlessly. Whether you're navigating perimenopause, managing PCOS, seeking support for metabolic health, or simply wanting a GP who takes the time to truly understand your health story, Heather brings both clinical excellence and genuine care to every consultation.

Outside the clinic, you'll find Heather in the ocean, on her bike, or juggling the beautiful chaos of parenthood. She understands first-hand the challenge of balancing health, work and life—and she brings that lived experience into her practice every day.
