I have found the staff there to be so helpful and caring. Phyl Petchel. Our Practice. Torbay Medical Centre, founded in by Dr John Pollock, strives to be at the heart of a growing community and has now grown to cover Long Bay community.
Torbay and Long Bay Medical have 10 General Practitioners along with a dedicated team of nurses, healthcare assistants and administration staff. We are committed to continue a long tradition of excellence. Our focus is upholding genuine, caring, supportive relationships with our patients. We have a long-standing history with many of our families being cared for throughout generations. This helps to provide continuity of care and gives a level of understanding that can only come with a long association.
We look forward to building such relationships with our new patients. We aim to meet the needs of the community through improved access to care for our patients.
I have been in general practice for more than 30 years. I hope to bring that experience to the care of my patients. As a GP I have the privilege of being part of the lives of our patients and their families, helping where I can, sharing in their challenges and aspirations.
I love seeing both older people and children in my practice, and while providing quality care, it is important to me that their experience be a positive one. I have a wonderful, understanding wife and 2 daughters. My medical interests include paediatric and adolescent medicine. I am a mother and step mother to three girls and in my free time loves to spend time with family, enjoy a coffee with friends and travel.
