Dr Miranda Maw is a GP Specialist and a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. She obtained her medical degree from the University of Notre Dame, Sydney, in 2013. Initially working as a junior doctor in Liverpool and Fairfield Hospitals, she later pursued GP training before eventually joining our North Shore general practice. 

Prior to working at our clinic in St Leonards, her GP training saw her gain experience in an array of different regions across Greater Sydney. She has spent her career so far expanding her knowledge in General Practice and meeting and helping various patients from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. 

Miranda holds special interests in women’s health, paediatrics, and travel medicine. She is currently pursuing a Master’s in Public Health and Tropical Medicine and aspires to provide medical care in developing countries in the future.

As well as being a dedicated GP, Miranda is also a strong advocate for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. In her pursuit of this, she enjoys spending her time outside of work exploring, travelling, experimenting with new recipes, and participating in HIIT training sessions.

Dr Gerry McLaren is a highly qualified and experienced professional with dual qualifications as a senior consultant in rehabilitation medicine and as a senior family physician. For the past four decades, he has maintained dual accreditation with the Royal Australian College of Physicians and the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, making him quite professionally unique in Australasia. 

Out of all our St Leonards doctors, Gerry is most known for his integrity and pursuit of clinical excellence with a touch of humour. He takes a patient-centred approach to care, emphasising active learning and family involvement. His extensive experience includes managing complex clinical challenges, particularly in remote or regional communities, and working with conditions such as diabetes, amputations, musculoskeletal disorders, and neurological problems. 

Gerry also has special interests in various areas of medicine, including paediatrics, vaccination programs, dermatology, eye conditions, general and travel medicine, mental health, and complex care management. In 2012, he became the first rehabilitation physician to live in Central Australia with the aim of working with impoverished communities to improve outcomes for Australia’s most disadvantaged people. 

Outside of work, Gerry enjoys spending time as an adventure and landscape photographer with a particular focus on wilderness survival, alpine flora ecology, and teaching children. We believe this quite aptly reflects his ability to navigate and survive complex clinical challenges over time.

With nearly three decades of experience, including practising medicine overseas, Dr. Asence has established himself as a highly regarded doctor at our North Shore General Practice.

In 2005, he took a significant step by opening and establishing his own practice, Central Coast Family Medicine, which is dedicated to providing comprehensive healthcare services to the community. Today, Dr Asence also showcases his vast experience and unwavering commitment to patient care at Rockwell Medical Centre, where he continues positively impacting the lives and well-being of individuals and families.
