​
Mary's approach to healthcare is tailored to each patient's unique needs. She enjoys working collaboratively and understands that often complex conditions require a team approach. It is likely that one practitioner will not be able to care for all aspects of your needs, and she will assist you in forming your healthcare team.
​
Mary aims to provide a specialised service and will not be able to offer urgent appointments for routine general practice care. It is recommended that you remain engaged with your regular GP for all routine and urgent care needs, and she would be happy to provide correspondence to your GP with your consent.
