Marina A. Skiba is an endocrinologist based in Melbourne, working from 553 St Kilda Road, Melbourne, VIC, Australia. She helps people when hormones are not behaving the way they should. Hormone problems can be confusing, and symptoms can affect sleep, energy, periods, skin, mood, and more.
In clinic, Dr Skiba looks after patients dealing with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), irregular or missed periods (including amenorrhea), ovarian cysts, and ovarian overproduction of androgens. She also supports people who are going through menopause, where hormone changes can cause hot flushes, changes in mood, and other day-to-day issues.
She also offers hormone replacement therapy (HRT), with a practical, step-by-step approach to help match treatment to the person, not just the diagnosis. At times, she manages hormone conditions alongside other health concerns, including situations where hormone balance can overlap with wider medical issues such as heart failure. The focus stays on safe care and sensible follow-up.
Over time, people often come in because they have had tests before but still feel unsure about what it all means. Dr Skiba spends time untangling the basics, explaining likely causes in plain language, and working out what options make sense for that stage of life. Plans may include lifestyle steps, medication, and monitoring, depending on what the body is doing.
Her clinical experience is built around ongoing endocrine care, from early assessment through to longer-term follow-up when symptoms need time to settle. She also keeps up with newer hormone research where it helps guide everyday decisions, rather than using big, complicated ideas that can be hard to apply.
If you are dealing with hormone-related changes and want clear guidance in a calm setting, Dr Skiba’s clinic is a good place to start. You can expect care that is down to earth, with treatment decisions made carefully and reviewed as things change.
