The foundation of the practice is straightforward general medical care, the kind that benefits from a doctor who knows your history.
Consultations
For acute illness, ongoing symptoms, or a concern you would like properly assessed. Consultations are booked with enough time to take a full history rather than rushing to a prescription.
Health screening
A general health assessment appropriate to your age, sex, family history and risk factors. Screening is genuinely useful when it is targeted; screening everyone for everything mostly produces incidental findings and anxiety. We will discuss which checks are worthwhile for you and which are not.
Chronic condition management
Ongoing care for conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes and thyroid disorders. This includes reviewing medications periodically, both whether they are still working and whether all of them are still needed.
Referrals
Where specialist input is needed, we will refer you and share the relevant history so you do not have to start the story again from the beginning.
Please note
For medical emergencies (chest pain, difficulty breathing, sudden weakness or numbness, severe bleeding, or loss of consciousness), do not wait for a clinic appointment. Go to the nearest emergency department or call for an ambulance immediately.
