Our Staff

I completed my medical degree in Auckland in 1992. Following this I worked in Auckland hospitals for 2 years prior to traveling to the UK. There I continued to work in hospitals around London and Cambridge for the next 3 years. Upon return to New Zealand I completed the General Practitioner Training Program and have been working as a GP since 1997.

I commenced working at CityMed when it opened in October 2000. Since then I have developed an interest in travel medicine and completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Travel Medicine in 2004. I am now the Director of the TravelMed Clinic at CityMed. I also have an interest in cardiology, child health and preventative medicine. I believe in helping people to maintain and manage their own health to the best of their ability.

I have a wide range of interests outside of medicine, which I enjoy pursuing in my spare time. I speak English and Dutch.

I am also able to do NZ and American immigration medicals.

I am an experienced GP who has been working in general practice for over 15 years now. I work 3 days a week, job sharing with Dr Lidia Nowak so I can spend time with my 4 sons.

I graduated from Otago University in 1990. I worked in the UK for 2 years in private and public hospitals. I then returned to NZ and completed my Diploma of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and then my Diploma in Paediatrics, while working in the hospital system. I completed the GP training scheme and am a Fellow of the Royal NZ College of GP's.

I completed a primary ACNEM (Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine) course in 2005. I have an interest in nutritional and holistic medicine.

I have done some training with the Pfeiffer institute involving treating mental illness with nutrient and mineral support. I also have a special interest in children on the autistic spectrum and with ADHD. I have experience treating children and adults using a biomedical approach.

In summary I am a General Practitioner with special interests in women's and children's health. I complete NZ and USA immigration medicals and am interested in preventative medicine and routine well-health medicals for my patients.

I am a director of CityMed Doctors Limited since the company was formed in 2000 and have worked at CityMed since it opened in October 2000. I am the director in charge of clinical quality within our practice. Previously I was a partner at Queen Street Doctors for 15 years.

An increasing part of my work is immigration. I do NZ immigration medicals but I am also an accredited panel doctor for the Australian and USA immigration authorities. Mostly however, I have remained very much a general practitioner. I enjoy being able to get to know people over time and wherever possible am interested in maintaining good health through health screening.

I gained experience in community and hospital medicine while working overseas for several years. My interest in primary healthcare was first sparked by time spent working in a remote Australian General Practice.

I have three teenage children,  and enjoy pursuing many interests outside of medicine.

I work part-time at CityMed and am available for General Practice consultations as well as full personal medicals. I also perform NZ immigration and insurance medicals. My special interests are in acute accident medical care, sports medicine and men's health. Nowhere is the need for Preventative Medicine greater than in the area of Men’s Health.

I moved to Auckland in 1984 and have been in the city in General Practice since. I owned my own practice in K'Road for a while before leaving for a 2 year OE.

I came back to NZ in 1992 and started working in Accident Medical clinics and then moving into General Practice Locum work.
