Friendly doctors & welcoming practice staff
Dr Ken Treichel
Dr Ken Treichel graduated from the University of Queensland and worked in remote Queensland locations including Thursday Island, Bamaga, Normanton, Ayre and with the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Mt Isa.
In 1989-1993 he sailed around the world in his boat “Ketchup II” and developed a knack for finding trouble on the way, eg civil wars in Yemen, Sudan and the first Gulf War.
Since then he has spent a more peaceful existence working on the Sunshine Coast and Caboolture until 2004. A planned sojourn in Hervey Bay has turned into a lifetime commitment with the purchase and development of Murphy Street Medical Centre.
Dr Lewis Gray
Dr Lewis Gray is a 5th generation New Zealander recently emigrated to Australia for a 2 year working holiday but now loves it so much he is reluctant to return home. Lewis is a rural GP with specialist qualifications in both Australia and New Zealand. He is experienced in just about anything that happens in community medicine but his special interest is in cosmetic and cancer skin surgery.
However, he is also an excellent communicator, diagnostician and is a vigorous advocate for his patient’s best interests in the public system. Come along and say “Kia Ora”
Dr Richard James
I trained and graduated from Edinburgh University in 1996, and subsequently completed General Practitioner training in the Borders of Scotland in 2000. I Moved to Australia in August 2000, and worked for 7 years within the Hervey Bay and Maryborough public hospitals doing predominantly A&E work, and general medicine. During this time he completed the FRACGP examination, and was awarded the Mary Mahoney Prize in 2005. GP at Murphy Street Medical since Feb 2006, with an interest in Cardiology, Respiratory, Diabetes, Dermatology and Paediatrics.
Dr James does Skin checks and skin cancer removals. Dr James is not a Gynaecologist or Psychiatrist and is happy to defer and refer to my more learned colleagues for the management of these patients. I enjoy looking after people who are prepared to put the effort into leading a healthy lifestyle with regards to diet, nutrition and exercise.
