Before coming to Hout Bay, Andrew mostly worked in rural and remote locations in Australia, where he was often required to provide the medical care for entire towns or regions. This included general practice, anaesthetics, aged care, palliative care, mental health, inpatient care and emergency medicine. Such work necessitated a wide breadth of knowledge, resourcefulness, and also compassion, qualities he brings to his work as a family doctor.
Andrew is married with three children. He enjoys hiking, swimming, writing and reading.
“The provision of good medical care is an art. It requires good listening and good knowledge, to arrive at the right decisions and right action. It is essential the patient leaves each consult feeling they have been heard and the care being offered is right for them and their family.”
