Welcome Message
I am very happy to provide you with my services in an on-line format. This site has been developed to help you understand more about the services that I provide.
For over 30 years I have focussed my activities on the development of a modern model of health care delivery for the facially deformed and all that this involves.
Due to my extensive experience in this field I have assisted with the establishment of similar services in a wide range of countries. I have also been involved in the assessment and management of various primary health care problems that, of necessity, are part of delivering care to the facially deformed.
I am currently the Head of the Australian Craniofacial Unit which is a Centre of Excellence for this multidisciplinary speciality. I conduct consultations in Adelaide primarily, in Sydney, in Hobart and Launceston. I also conduct two clinical visits to South East Asia in Indonesia and Singapore.
In this site you will find information about the services that I provide, along with further information sources and contacts. If you require more information about this site or my services, you can contact my private office at any time.
