Our Doctors

A graduate of the University of Melbourne’s School of Medicine and holder of a Diploma in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Dr. Todaro is particularly devoted to the health and wellbeing of women and children. 

She has extensive experience in women’s health, including PAP smears, contraception , menopause . As a Shared Antenatal Care Practitioner with all major maternity hospitals, Dr. Todaro provides comprehensive care from pregnancy through to post-natal and paediatric stages. 

Beyond women’s and children’s health, she is also an HIV s100 prescriber with strong interests in sexual health and mental illness . Her approach to medicine is empathetic, practical, and grounded in genuine care for her patients’ overall wellbeing. 

Outside of work, Dr. Todaro loves swimming, walking, and spending time in nature — ideally followed by good food and great coffee. She relaxes by reading (medical journals, she admits with a laugh) and cooking for her family, with her signature chicken cacciatora being a household favourite. 

An extrovert by nature, she enjoys being around people, laughing often, and staying optimistic. Colleagues describe her ascaring, empathetic, and resilient, with a knack for finding humour in life’s awkward moments. 

Fun fact: Dr. Todaro once met Mother Teresa in India in 1987 — an experience that continues to inspire her compassionate approach to care. 

When she’s not at the clinic, you might find her at Kitty Somerset, her favourite retro cocktail bar in Northcote. 

Her favourite thing about working at Northcote Medical? 

“The friendly staff, great team environment, great management — and the fact that it’s doctor-owned. Plus, Harry and Denise are my friends of 30 years!”
