What I Provide

Dedicated to Your Health Journey

Born and raised in Melbourne, I've had the privilege of serving my home community as a General Practitioner since completing my fellowship with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners in 2021. My journey in medicine began at the University of Newcastle, where I graduated with my Bachelor of Medicine in 2016, followed by comprehensive training across Victoria that shaped my holistic approach to patient care.

 

My practice philosophy is simple yet profound: to provide thorough and comprehensive holistic care, always striving to achieve the best outcomes for my patients. This belief has guided me through my internship at Newcastle in 2017, my residency at The Northern Hospital in Epping throughout 2018, and my specialized training in child health at the University of Sydney, where I earned my Diploma of Child Health in 2019.

 

Today, as a proud husband and father of two, I understand firsthand the importance of accessible, family-centered healthcare. Living in Melbourne with my young family reminds me daily why I chose this profession—to be there for patients during their most vulnerable moments and to celebrate with them during their triumphs.

My Philosophy of Care

Evidenced-Based Medicine Delivered with Compassion

Healthcare is not one-size-fits-all. Every patient is unique, with their own health story, challenges, and aspirations. My philosophy centers on treating the whole person—mind, body, and lifestyle—rather than simply addressing isolated symptoms.

 

I believe in the power of partnership. You are the expert on your own body and life circumstances; I bring medical expertise and clinical experience. Together, we make informed decisions that align with your values and support your long-term wellbeing.

 

Prevention is at the heart of everything I do. While I'm here to help when illness strikes, my greatest satisfaction comes from helping patients stay healthy, catch potential issues early, and build sustainable wellness habits that serve them for decades to come.

Collaborative Care

You're not a passive recipient of care—you're an active partner in your health decisions. I listen carefully, explain clearly, and respect your choices.

Evidence-Based Practice

Every recommendation I make is grounded in the latest medical research and clinical guidelines, ensuring you receive care that's proven to work.

Preventive Focus

The best treatment is prevention. I emphasize proactive health strategies, early screening, and lifestyle optimization to keep you thriving.

  • Dermatology & Skin Cancer Management

  • Comprehensive skin health services including full-body skin checks, skin cancer screening, skin lesion biopsy/excision and management of conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and acne.

  • Dedicated men's health services addressing concerns often overlooked or avoided, including cardiovascular risk assessment, prostate health, testosterone management, mental health support, sexual health, and preventive screening. I provide a confidential, judgment-free environment where men can discuss their health concerns openly.

Beyond the clinic...

 

Medicine is my calling, but family is my foundation. When I'm not in the clinic, you'll find me on the soccer field (usually running more than I should at my age!), exploring new destinations with my wife and two children, or simply enjoying quality time at home. These experiences outside of medicine remind me of what truly matters. Health is not just about managing illness, but about having the vitality to pursue the things that bring joy and meaning to our lives.

 

My ability to communicate fluently in both English and Arabic allows me to serve Melbourne's diverse community with cultural understanding and sensitivity. Having grown up in this vibrant, multicultural city, I'm proud to provide care that respects and honors the backgrounds and values of all my patients.
