We are thrilled to introduce you to the newest GP to the team - Dr David Burton

David brings a rich background in medicine, having completed his studies at the University of Otago, New Zealand.
He takes pride in offering comprehensive care across a broad spectrum of health needs. He holds particular expertise in skin cancer detection, with a certificate in dermatoscopy – especially valuable given Tasmania's high UV exposure. His dedication to mental healthcare is demonstrated through his certificate in Primary Care Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, enabling him to provide high-quality support for patients managing anxiety and depression.

David is passionate about health equity and finds fulfillment in delivering compassionate, effective care that makes a tangible difference in his patients' lives. He values the daily variety of general practice and the meaningful connections he builds with patients. In his spare time, he loves going to gigs, have dinners with friends, trail running and bike-packing.
David will be joining us on the 3rd of November 2025 working Monday to Friday.

Welcome to the team Dr Burton!
