Thrive Medical is a small community General Practice in Cairns North.
Our practice offers a welcoming non-judgemental, friendly environment where we can focus on improving your health and that of your family.
We see you as a whole person and aim to optimise your health rather than just treat your illness or injury.
Conveniently located just south of the airport turn-off and directly behind Mother of Good Counsel School, we are well positioned for easy access from all areas of Cairns.
Unfortunately our practice is currently at full capacity. To enable us to continue to provide high quality care to our existing patients we are no longer accepting new patients. The exception to this is immediate family members of current patients.
We are sorry for any disappointment this may cause.
MBBS, BSc(Med), DRANZCOG, FARGP, FRACGP
I am passionate about General Practice and love being a GP. I feel privileged to be part of my patients' lives and enjoy the full variety of medical practice. My special interests are Women's health (including antenatal care and mirena insertions), Indigenous health and minor surgery, aged care, kids, mental health.
BSc(Hons), MBBS, FRACGP
I love being a GP. As a GP you get to look after not only an individual, but their entire (often extended) family; you get the opportunity to provide education and empower patients about their health. I consider it a privilege to share a patient's journey through both joyful times and difficult or sorrowful times. I enjoy the challenge of never knowing what is going to come through the door on any day. The added advantage to being a GP is the babies. I love babies and can often be found between consultations sneaking in a cuddle.
BMed, FRACGP
I completed my medical degree at the University of Newcastle, Australia and undertook further training as a junior doctor at the Nepean Hospital in Western Sydney. Whilst there I gained experience in a variety of medical and surgical disciplines. In 2018 I moved to Cairns where I began working and studying in the field of General Practice. I have a particular interest in men’s health and also medical education. When not at Thrive I am involved in teaching medical students and junior doctors through James Cook University. Outside work I enjoy cycling and bushwalking with my wife.
MBBS FRACGP
I always wanted to be a doctor after seeing the amazing job the team of doctors did for my brother when he was born with a rare genetic disorder. The care he received from his paediatrician in particular motivated me to study medicine.
I was (and still am) a country kid, growing up in a number of small QLD country towns. I finished high school at St Ursula's boarding school in Yeppoon and went straight into undergrad MBBS at James Cook University, studying in Townsville and then Mackay.
MBBS, DCH, FRACGP, MPHTM, Grad Cert HPE
I love the variety and privilege of being a GP, and enjoy supporting patients of all ages through the ups and downs of life. My special interests include women's health and antenatal care, child and adolescent health, sexual health, community and public health, travel medicine and palliative care.
MBChB, MRCP, MRCGP, FRACGP, DFSRH, PG Cert Medical Law, PG Cert Medical Education
As a GP I have a special interest in lifestyle medicine and I am passionate about helping patients be the best version of themselves through sport, exercise and good nutrition. I enjoy the wide variety of medicine found in general practice. The opportunity to work in a specialty that allows me to get to know patients well and support them through all phases of life is a huge privilege.
