DOCTORS PRACTICE

“I am still committed to the practice of good family medicine and have a particular interest in Dermatology having studied this over many years under the guidance of some of the top Dermatologists in the country. I have become somewhat of an expert in removing small skin lesions and blemishes having also gained experience from a number of prominent Plastic Surgeons. A further area of interest is my knowledge and understanding of Alcoholism and its impact on the family.”

Grant acts as an expert witness in Medico Legal cases on an ongoing basis which is testament to his wealth of knowledge and experience and the high level of esteem bestowed on him by his medical colleagues and other professionals.

“I was somewhat different from my peers at Medical School. I had already spent over 8 years in tertiary education since leaving school when I embarked on my medical career. I knew when I started that I wanted to go into Family Medicine. After I graduated I started immediately to further my knowledge and skills in the wonderful and fulfilling area of Medicine.

I achieved the Fellowship in Family Medicine in 2007, and completed an intensive course in Emergency Medicine. In 1993, I received a Diploma in Primary Emergency Care.

I am seriously passionate about Family Health and the longer I remain in practice, the more convinced I am that the more holistically we view Health and Wellness, the more likely we are to achieve it. I believe that we should empower patients to take ownership of their health and guide them in this pursuit rather than merely providing prescriptions and instructions.”
