Practice History

Hills Family Medical Practice is an accredited general practice located in Maida Vale, approximately 25 kilometres east of Perth. The practice was established by Dr Andrew Glover in 1989 operating from premises in Gooseberry Hill. The Practice was run by Dr Glover until 2004 when Dr Peter Oyewopo took over.

Due to growth in patient numbers and the number of GP’s at the Practice, Dr Oyewopo made the decision to relocate and in 2013 Dr Oyewopo built our current premises in Maida Vale and the Practice moved in September 2013.

In 2016 we became accredited with West Australian General Practice Education and Training (WAGPET) so that we could contribute to training GP’s of the future. In 2017 we placed our first GP registrar.

We pride ourselves on continuity of care and our clientele consists of families (some 2nd and 3rd generation), elderly, retirees, younger age and working age.

The doctors provide a comprehensive range of family medical services and have special interest including, pain management, counselling – particularly for post-traumatic stress disorders, men’s health, women’s health, chronic disease management, endocrinology, dermatology, paediatrics, occupational medicine, travel medicine and geriatrics.

Our working environment is very friendly and supportive and we have good rapport with our patients and their families.

Hills Family Medical Practice is situated within the City of Kalamunda. The population for the catchment area (City of Kalamunda) is approximately 60,000. The population is growing with areas being developed and new housing being made available.
