Vision Statement
To create meaningful health relationships to better our community.
Practice Philosophy
Our philosophy is to provide our patients with the best possible treatment using the most up-to-date and proven methods, materials and equipment, emphasising prevention of disease as a higher ideal than the actual treatment of it.
This philosophy will best be achieved in a working environment where we recognise the patient as being the most important person in the Practice, and where we work in an ethical and responsible manner, in an environment of teamwork, with mutual respect for each other’s abilities and functions.
Business Vision:
“To Cultivate a viable business environment with TRUST, HONESTY, MUTUAL RESPECT, EQUALITY, and ETHICS”
