My name is Chris – I am a lung and sleep specialist.
I take great pride in my role as a physician and the ability it affords me to do a community centred job. Breathing and sleep problems are exceptionally common and I take a lot of joy in being able to improve these problems for people. My goal is always to provide quality and comprehensive care in a clear and empathetic way to my patients.
I have lived and worked in many parts of Australia and I am now settled for the long term in Melbourne. My partner AJ and I live a quiet life here with our dog Minnie but look for any excuse to go out for a meal or see a show.
I was born and raised in Sydney and I completed my medical degree with the University of Sydney and spent my formative medical years on Sydney’s north shore. Subsequently, my respiratory advanced training was completed at Royal North Shore Hospital and I finished my specialisation with a sleep fellowship at Prince of Wales Hospital. Both of these busy quaternary centres provided me with a great breadth of training across both respiratory and sleep medicine. My subsequent practice as a consulting physician has taken me across the east coast of Australia with postings in Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania over the last five years.
My career thus far has really solidified me as a “generalist” specialist with a broad range of skills across the diagnosis and management of respiratory and sleep problems.
