Originating from the UK, Dr. Suzanne honed her medical expertise between 2000 and 2004 within several training hospitals throughout London and Essex. In 2003, she embarked on her journey into general practice. Four years later, in 2007, Suzanne ventured into a new phase of her career by moving to New Zealand, where she has since provided dedicated service as a rural GP until July 2024.

Suzanne's professional interest spans the full spectrum of general practice, encompassing child and women's health, family planning, care for the elderly, skin cancer, minor surgery, urgent care, and palliative care. She believes general practice involves caring for patients from birth til death, hence why she enjoys most aspects of general practice, caring for patients no matter where they are in their journey.

Outside the clinic, she cherishes time with her family, exploring nature through hiking and biking, and tending to their family orchard.
