If you’ve been in the past few weeks, you may have met our optometrist Phillip. He joins full time to help Thao look after your eyes.
Phillip graduated from the University of New South Wales with a Bachelor of Vision Science and a Master of Clinical Optometry. He enjoys seeing patients of all ages and has a special interest in paediatric vision and glaucoma management, with a strong focus on long-term eye health.
Phillip believes eye care should be thorough, approachable, and never rushed. He takes pride in making patients feel comfortable and confident in their eye health, whether it’s a child’s first eye exam or ongoing care for chronic conditions.
Outside the practice, you’ll usually find Phillip with a fishing rod in hand along a waterway, cooped up inside a tent, or folded over the bonnet of his car - proof that patience, precision, and problem-solving don’t stop at the clinic door.
Happy birthday Phillip! Basque cheesecake from the Gumnut Patisserie.
