Introducing myself

As a Specialist in Geriatric Medicine, I am delighted to be serving the community of Illawarra. My practice focuses on treating the individual person with holistic approach rather than just their complaint. In addition to being compassionate and empathetic, I strongly feel that patient education plays a vital role in their journey of wellness.

I work towards building the trust and rapport with my patients and their families by open communication and actively involving them to make a joint informed decision in their long term management.
