Dr David Richardson Mb. Bs. (Hons) Dip Nutritional Med
David set up his first GP clinic in Galston with Dr Diana Moes in 1980. After practising as a GP for 10 years he realised many patients were not being well served by this sort of medicine. This included women with menopausal problems or severe PMS, menstrual migraines, men who were beginning to lose their enthusiasm and drive, people with chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia, thyroid problems and many many people struggling with anxiety, depression or a driven perfectionistic personality style.
These complex conditions are simply not very well served by the Australian medical system, which let many of these people “fall through the cracks” .
David worked at Asquith from 2001 to 2011 developing a combined GP clinic and Integrative Medicine Centre. I realised I wanted to get away from running a multi doctor practice to concentrate on complex medical problems that were not generally served well by most doctors.
So my wife Christine and I started a boutique clinic in historic Richmond, 10 minutes from the 140 year old farmhouse we are gradually restoring, starting with the gardens and grounds.
My other interests include my family, gardening, land management, the environment, building stuff, getting out in the bush, art, politics, ethics and I am an International Cat Judge. I love the Doors whom I discovered in 1967 and still sound good ( to me if not my kids) in 2012!
Listening to your needs
Partnering you in your recovery
Flexible consultations
“Most of my patients have consulted several Gps and specialists and still have not got the answers they needed.”
I believe by active listening, taking a thorough medical history with some pathology tests we can usually come up with solutions.
I aim to show the patient what needs to be done, and what this can achieve, but it is always up to the patient to make happen - putting you back in control of your life.
Consultations can be:
• face to face,
