Hampton And South Medical Clinic
Consulting in Bayside

I have been practising continuously in the bayside area for many years and have developed a good range of specialist and allied health services that I refer to. Particularly for more complex conditions, my clinical approach is to gather the details, conduct an examination, and then formulate a management plan. If costly or invasive treatments/tests are proposed, I encourage you to ask for information on safety and efficacy (effectiveness), and on the other options available. This is particularly so for complex conditions. Subsequent training was somewhat eclectic by choice, and during the late 8o's and 90's part of my responsibilities involved caring for homeless and marginalised patients alongside dr harry hemley and dr peter pearce oam. Clinical outcomes for various treatments or investigative approaches are not always the 'given' as one might believe, and new information is always becoming available. The training & applying it my undergraduate medical training was at the university of melbourne, followed by a busy internship at st vincent's hospital. I offer basic training in mindfulness meditation, as taught by dr craig hassad at monash university. When needed, I refer to rehabilitation services, with both public and private services represented in the bayside area. I am a strong believer in all forms of rehabilitation, of both mind and body, as a most natural way of getting back to health. I like to give printed information whenever possible, and have a good range available in house and access to the resources from clinical databases world-wide. I am happy to give a second opinion (without expectation for further attendance). If necessary, I will liaise with other practitioners that have been consulted to ensure I have the correct details of your medical history. My advice is based on 25 years of clinical experience as a doctor and an eclectic range of post graduate training. The plan will take into account patient concerns and beliefs, and include a number of suggestions on how to investigate and treat a problem. After hours care is also available.
