An Indian-origin woman has gone missing in Sydney.

Preethi Reddy who works as a dentist was last spotted a McDonald's on Sunday, her sister said.

"Preethi is missing in the Sydney area. She was last seen in the early hours of Sunday morning (3rd March 2.15am) at McDonald's at the Strand Arcade on George Street in the city and these CCTV photos show what she was wearing," Preethi's sister Nithya said.

Preethi last communicated on the phone at 11:06 am on Sunday morning, March 3rd. 

"She gave no indication anything was wrong. She has not been heard from since," Nithya said.

Penrith Police have confirmed that a case has been registered and Ms Reddy is still missing. 

"She (Preethi) is believed to be driving a grey Volkswagon Golf rego DFP78P which is also missing. It is highly out of character for Preethi to not contact family and loved ones," Nithya Reddy said. 

A Facebook page 'Help Find Preethi Reddy' has been created which says the family is unable to identify where she stayed on Sunday.

One of Preethi's friends, Sunil Vemula, has also posted on social media appealing for help.

"Do any of my dental friends (especially IAADENT ones) know the whereabouts of my Preethi Reddy, please? She was last heard of Sunday 3rd March morning in Sydney and should have been home within a few hours but has not turned up yet. Her family and I are very concerned for her safety, (sic)" reads Mr Vemula's post. 

If anyone has seen Preethi or her vehicle please call Penrith Police on 4721 9444 or Town Hall Police on 9265 6595 or 1800 333 000 or if the situation is an emergency call 000.
