About Sunnynook Medical Centre

​The practice was built in 1970 and found in the heart of the Sunnynook area, just opposite the Sunnynook shopping complex. Surrounding the practice there are a number of additional services such as a Pharmacy, Physio and Dentist. 

Sunnynook Medical Centre has been the health hub of the area for the last few decades, taking pride in providing a full range of medical care while ensuring confidentiality and professionalism in a friendly and caring atmosphere.

Recently taking under new ownership in August 2018 by Dr Rekha Nadakkavukaran , she has set out to re-establish the quality healthcare being provided and continually provide the best service possible.
