DR RAMY BISHAY
BSc (Hons), MSc (Hons), MBBS (Hons), FRACP
Specialist Endocrinologist & Bariatric Physician
I'm an endocrinologist who offers an integrated approach to hormonal imbalances. I have a strong desire to see my patients succeed in improving their health, such as losing weight (and keeping it off), improving their diabetes control, or getting on top of their thyroid problem, thyroid cancer, polycystic ovaries, osteoporosis, fertility, androgen, adrenal or pituitary disorder. I regularly participate in the Thyroid Cancer and Parathyroid multi-disciplinary meetings at Westmead Hospital.

Once being nearly 120 kg, I've managed to lose 45 kg (and keep it off). I believe that weight loss doesn't have to be mysterious and that you don't need gym memberships or follow the next fad diet.

​​
I'm passionate about teaching students and give regular lectures and bedside teaching as senior lecturer for Western Sydney University. and former lecturer at University of Sydney. I also have regular medical student placements from WSU and JCU. I am currently completing my PhD in metabolic, bariatric and liver health.
I've published several dozen publications (including a book) and have given talks at both national and international conferences in endocrinology and the fields of obesity, thyroid disease, diabetes and osteoporosis. For a list of my publications, please click here:
