Dr Susana Rodriguez

Dr. Rodriguez Talavera graduated in 2003 from the prestigious University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines, where she completed eight years of study in medical technology, medicine, and surgery. Early in her career, she gained valuable experience across paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology, and emergency medicine while working in hospitals in Manila.

In 2005, Dr. Rodriguez relocated to the UK, where she worked at St. Mary’s Hospital in London and hospitals across Cheshire, Dorset, and Hampshire. During this time, she expanded her expertise in surgery, emergency care, elderly care medicine, paediatrics, general medicine, and obstetrics and gynaecology.

In 2008, she decided to specialize in family medicine and underwent rigorous General Practice training within the UK NHS, completing her training in 2011. After practicing as a General Practitioner in Hampshire, she moved to Australia and joined Brighton Beach Medical Centre in July 2015.

Dr. Rodriguez has a particular interest in dermatology. In addition to providing a full range of General Practice services, she is skilled in dermoscopy, a specialist technique using polarised light to assess skin lesions and other conditions, which is crucial for the early detection of skin cancers.

Dr. Rodriguez upholds the highest professional standards while being approachable and dedicated to building strong, genuine relationships with her patients. Fluent in both English and Tagalog, she is actively involved in the community and welcomes patients to consult with her.
