Everyone has their own challenging lives that other people may not appreciate.

After having experienced psychosomatic illness in my early years, I learned that a healthy mind lives in a healthy body and vice versa. I have chosen to do general practice which allows me to guide people wholistically.

Made in Japan, exported to Singapore then to Brisbane, Australia, my medical career began at the University of Newcastle in New South Wales. I worked as a GP in Sydney and rural NSW before I moved to Melbourne in 2015. On work days when I am not seeing patients, I am engaged in Renal Clinical research through the University of Oxford in UK.

I have considerable experience in providing medical care for people from non-English speaking backgrounds as well the residents of Melbourne and its surrounding communities.

I truly believe that one style of medicine does not suit everyone and so my aim is to provide customised care for all of my patients.

I love to work with my extraordinary colleagues at Healthcare On Collins! They are a wealth of knowledge and love. Everyone respects one another. I feel very fortunate to be working in such a harmonious environment.

Pre-medical years, I have worked as a teacher, translator, tour guide, airline ground staff, events coordinator, and secretary.

I love cars and driving. Also, I enjoy entertaining my friends and family.
