About
MBBS FRACGP Clinical Lecturer (UWA)
I completed my MBBS at the University of Western Australia in 2012 after having spent my childhood in Singapore. Following graduation, I spent 4 post-graduate years in Royal Perth Hospital, Kalgoorlie Hospital, Bunbury Hospital, Bentley Hospital, King Edward Memorial Hospital, Armadale Hospital and St John of God Hospital. I initially embarked on training to be a geriatrician but had a change of mind as I wanted to have the continuity of care and practice preventative health which is offered in practicing as a GP.
I began my career in General Practice in 2017 and have not looked back since. I have vast experience through my hospital years in adult and geriatric medicine. I enjoy managing chronic disease and recognise the importance of reviewing medications regularly and de-prescribing unnecessary medications. As a Clinical Lecturer, I regularly take students from UWA and Notre Dame and hope to increase medical student interest in a career in General Practice.
My role, as a Catholic physician, is to diagnose, prevent, cure and palliate pathology (conditions where things are not functioning as they should in your body). As such, I have a conscientious objection to providing prescriptions for any forms of contraception, referrals for termination and cross-gender injections/puberty blockers. I am happy to share my knowledge to any person looking for a hormone-free, side effect free approach to family planning.
I am a busy father of 4 young children and husband to my lovely wife. I enjoy spending as much time as possible with my family when I’m not at work but also try to fit in regular exercise and playing on my PlayStation, while reading medical literature to keep my knowledge as current as possible. I also love to cook and do some gardening when my schedule allows.
