About Dr Abbas Al-Attar

Dr Abbas Al-Attar is a Family Medicine GP at MediPharm Medical Practice in Hoxton Park / Prestons, NSW. He is fluent in Arabic and English, which makes him a natural fit for older Arabic-speaking patients and their families across South-West Sydney — including patients from Hoxton Park, Liverpool, Casula, Cabramatta, Bonnyrigg and surrounding suburbs.

Dr Abbas has a particular interest in chronic disease management — diabetes, COPD, heart disease, arthritis, kidney disease, osteoporosis and high blood pressure. He writes GP Management Plans (MBS 721) and Team Care Arrangements (MBS 723), which entitle eligible patients to up to 5 bulk-billed allied-health visits per calendar year on-site (physiotherapy, podiatry, dietitian).

He also performs iron infusions for iron-deficiency anaemia (a common but under-treated condition in older women), minor procedures, skin checks, PRP and Implanon insertions and removals.

Why patients trust Dr Abbas with elderly relatives

• Care plans in plain language. Dr Abbas explains diagnoses and medications clearly — in Arabic if you prefer — so older patients and family carers leave the consult with a written plan they can follow.
• Family-inclusive consults. Family members and carers are welcome in the room. For 75+ patients, this is encouraged.
• Bulk-billing for all patients with a valid Medicare card. GP consults, care plans and iron infusions are bulk-billed for patients holding a valid Medicare card, Pension Card or Health Care Card.
• On-site allied health. Once your care plan is written, you do not need to travel for physio, podiatry or dietitian — it is in the same building.
