Thank you, Dr Suresh Babu - April 2025

We are sad to announce the retirement of Dr Suresh Babu. Dr Babu has been at the practice since 2003 and has spent a lot of his career helping patients transitioning out of the defence force, being the biggest Doctor in South Australia to work with the Department of Veterans Affairs.
His smiling face and kind personality will be missed at both surgeries, but we are all very excited for him to begin his next, very much deserved chapter of retirement. Thank you, Dr Babu! |
