Dr Charles (Charlie) Gardiner BM, BSC (hons), MRCP (UK), FRACGP
Dr Gardiner is English and qualified from Southampton University, England in 2005 with a both a medical degree and a degree in biochemical sciences. He gained postgraduate qualifications in general hospital medicine (e.g. cardiology/respiratory/diabetes/elderly care) and worked as a hospital physician before pursuing a career in General Practice. He has worked in the UK, New Zealand and Cambodia before moving to Melbourne in 2017 where he intends to spend the rest of his career. He joined the Altona Superclinic in August 2017 and quickly established a loyal patient base.
Dr Gardiner’s expertise in General Practice centres around the diagnosis and treatment of chronic medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, angina/heart disease, liver disease and medicine for the elderly. His postgraduate qualifications and membership of the Royal College of Physicians (UK) make him ideally placed as a GP to help you understand and manage your chronic medical condition. His skills as a GP are not limited to chronic disease however; he fits and removes contraceptive implants and can advise on many other aspects of healthcare. A particularly strong part of Dr Gardiner’s practice is his communication skills; you won’t be bombarded with medical jargon and will instead get a clear and thorough explanation in simple English, enabling you to understand exactly what is wrong and what the next steps are, no matter how complex the problem.
Dr Gardiner grew up in a country where healthcare is free and as such only works as a bulk billing doctor. He believes healthcare is a basic human right and sees no reason why anyone should have to pay to see their GP when Medicare more than adequately covers this service, and so much more. He has your health and your best interests financially at the forefront of his service.
