Our Doctors
Kedron-Wavell MediCentre has been selected as a Level 1 Training site for the training of (our) future general practitioners. As such, our staff doctors are expected to maintain high practice standards, be caring and committed to their patients, and to ensure ongoing professional education.
The GPs working at KWMC have a diverse range of experience, with a variety of special medical interests. In addition, the registrars that rotate through this practice every six months provide stimulating experiences.
