Criniti Medical Practice was established by Dr Rosa Criniti in The Avenue, Hurstville in 1980. We are proud to have celebrated our 40th anniversary in 2020.
Our practice provides quality patient care for families from all over the St George area and beyond.
All of our doctors have trained and worked in the local area for many years. We also have a registered nurse in our team to assist our doctors in providing a range of services to our patients.
Many of our patients have been coming to see our doctors in Hurstville for over 30 years – in some cases, three generations of the same family!
Our practice has been a fixture in Hurstville for more than 40 years. We offer a personal approach to medicine and have cared for some families for decades. It’s aways nice to go somewhere that people know you and your history!
We are passionate about providing the finest quality medical care to all individuals and families within the local community. Our doctors are highly trained and have decades of experience in general practice medicine.
We provide a friendly, welcoming environment so you feel comfortable coming to see the doctor.
