Dr. Trishul Darji
(MBBS, BSc, MRCGP, DFSRH, PGC MedEd, FRACGP)
I am British born and trained at the Imperial College of London where I was privileged to receive the world’s finest medical education. In England I received acknowledgement from the secretary of state highlighting the excellent levels of patient feedback from my services.
In Australia I am pleased to have built up a following of patients who put their faith and trust in me. I work full time including face-to-face consultations, telehealth, and home visits. My main job satisfaction comes from everyday patient-initiated consultations. I believe in an approach which is friendly, patient-centred, and evidence-based. I can quickly put patients at ease because they see I am taking them seriously. A particular strength of my consulting style is an awareness of the interdependence between the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
I’m not just here to treat you. I’m here to holistically heal you, transform you, and empower you to be the best version of yourself. It is my pleasure and privilege to serve you and I thank-you in advance for allowing me to be your guide as we embark on this journey together. I guarantee it will be life-changing, the end result being a healthier and happier you.
