Sports Medicine
Dr Andrew Ness spends a great deal of time getting to know the athlete to be able to assess the problem from a biomechanical approach and then being able to develop a plan for recovery and return to sport. He also helps the athlete understand why the injury occurred and how to prevent a reoccurrence of the same issues again.

Family Practice
We adhere to the American
Academy of Family Practice and are guided by
their guidelines. Therefore, we do
not compromise our standards by fragmenting
a patient into organs, ages or gender. This
would weaken our ability to be
comprehensive. Unlike other specialties, we
are not only trained in internal medicine,
but also gynecology, obstetrics,
dermatology, pediatrics, psychiatry and
orthopedics.
Whenever possible we try to also look after
the whole family because we believe that
intra-family dynamics both socially,
psychologically and physically are important
to your health and our ability to maximize
your potential.
We rely on your feedback and cooperation.
Sometimes to maximize a visit, the visit may
take longer than scheduled. We ask for your
patience, as that patient may and usually
has been or will be you some other time.
From the time you walk in our door to when
you leave, our aim is to make you feel the
special strength that Family Practice can
only give you. Our objective is to make a
difference in your life.
Dr. Andrew Ness is Board certified in Family
Practice in the USA and Canada. He also has
a Diploma in Obstetrics form the University
of Auckland, but as of December 1995 is not
conducting deliveries
He has an extensive training in Obstetrics
and Gynecology, as well as Orthopedic,
especially in Sports Medicine. He is
expanding his intent in Cosmetic Care as
well. We are looking forward to having new
Board Certified Professionals in the near
future |
