Meet Dan

Dan is a General Practitioner based in Melbourne’s inner north, possessing a robust foundation in physiotherapy and a strong focus on whole-person, evidence-based care. Before completing his medical degree at the University of Melbourne, Dan worked as a practising physiotherapist, developing extensive experience in musculoskeletal injuries, rehabilitation and persistent pain. This early training continues to shape his clinical approach, where he integrates physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors to support long-term health.

Dan works holistically with patients at their stage of life, focusing on personalised goals rather than generic medicine. He places strong emphasis on collaboration, education and shared decision-making, ensuring patients feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout their care. His style is conversational, practical and centred on achieving outcomes that truly matter to each individual.

Dan has significant experience in elite and developmental sport. He served as Head Doctor for the Western Bulldogs AFLW team for five years, managing high-performance athletes through multiple seasons. He also works closely with youth athletes, including supporting the Under 18 Vic Country Boys team in their AFL draft preparation. This work has strengthened his interests in injury prevention, performance health, and the wellbeing demands placed on athletes of all ages.

His clinical interests include:
Sports & musculoskeletal medicine
Persistent & chronic pain management
Lifestyle medicine (sleep, exercise, diet, mood)
Weight & performance management
Chronic fatigue & post-viral fatigue
Mental health & wellbeing
Preventative health & longevity

Dan's approach is simple: your care is personalised to you — your goals, your life stage, your work, your family, and most importantly, what matters to you and what is realistic to you in getting there.
