Dr Ena Satish
I was born and grew up in Malaysia. I then did a twinning program with India(Manipal) and Malaysia for my medical school training in 1997. After completing my medical degree, I worked in Malaysia for a few years after which my husband and I went to the UK for our further trainings. I did an MSc in clinical Dermatology in one of the most renowned Institutes- St John’s Institute of Dermatology in London and worked in the Dermatology department for several years. I later decided to join General Practice training in the UK, and hence have been working as a GPwSI (GP with special interest) in Dermatology for many years. We have 3 children, a dog named Oreo and a cat Skittles. After living in the UK for so long and having established our careers and completed our family we developed the ‘travel bug illness’, and here we are, so blessed to be given the opportunity to live and work in this gorgeous and beautiful country, New Zealand. I always give my best when I’m at work and during my free time, I love spending time with the kids, exploring new places in beautiful New Zealand. I also love painting and doing anything creative - handcraft, simple DIY projects that help me unwind and recharge.
