Dr Michael Macpherson

GENERAL PRACTITIONER
BAppSc, MBBS, FRACGP

Michael reckons the best part about being a GP is the privilege of helping people along their health journey. He takes the time to listen to your needs to help achieve the best health outcomes.

Michael practises whole-of-life care, from infants to the elderly, while having special interests in:

• Chronic disease management
• Men’s health
• Sports medicine
• Kid’s health
• Minor surgical procedures

He also has much sought-after medical procedure skills, including performing iron infusions and carpal tunnel injections.

After qualifying as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist and working for several years at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and Western Health, Michael returned to study Medicine at Deakin University, graduating in 2011.

During specialist training, he realised that practising comprehensive care meant being a GP. He gained his general practice qualifications in 2017.

When the rare opportunity presents itself, Michael can be found playing his guitar around the local traps. However, more often than not, he’s busy helping raise two boisterous kids and trying to keep fit.
