Meet the doctors that practice from
Shakespeare Street Complex:
PHMC regularly engages registrar doctors - these are fully qualified medical doctors who are taking extra training to specialise in general practice.
The rest of the health professionals you see below operate their own medical practice from our facilities. They have engaged PHMC to take advantage of the amazing services our team has to offer.
