After going through a rigorous assessment process and a long wait time of over 12 months since getting a job offer, Dr. Masoud Torbatian, a GP with over 30 years of experience, has now joined the Home Hill Surgery.
“I have been working as a GP for more than 30 years. I’m a general practitioner with expertise in various fields of medicine like chronic disease management, older person’s health, child and women’s health. I have worked in clinics, but also in very busy hospitals, too,” Dr. Torbatian shares.
Dr. Tata, who had been advertising for a male doctor since February last year, is delighted to have another male physician join the clinic and share the load, knowing it’s something his male patients in particular have been eager for, as he explains.
“I advertised online in February last year. I was desperate after three of my male doctors suddenly resigned to pursue careers for themselves down south. From there, I left no stone unturned. I looked everywhere, so when Masoud applied online, it all moved forward from there” Dr Tata says.
“I wanted somebody with a lot of experience. He has a wealth of experience with over 30 years in general practice. While he is here to fill in some big shoes, I’m sure there's a lot of people that want to come and see him. I hope the community welcomes him with a big heart,” he adds.
With a liking for warm weather, and an enjoyment of running in wide open space, the Burdekin feels like a great fit for Dr. Torbatian.
“I like Australia, I’m familiar with this country, and so now I get to work as a GP here, which has been my ultimate goal,” Dr. Torbatian concludes.
Dr. Torbatian, who will officially start March 17 as they wait for his provider number, will now make the sixth doctor working out of Home Hill Surgery.
