"When you visit my clinic, you will be treated with acceptance, empathy, and respect. This is your opportunity to express yourself freely and openly. People from different cultural backgrounds are welcomed. There is no judgment here." —Dr. Alfredo Garcia

 

The importance of C.P.D and Supervision.​

Continuing Professional Development ensures that we maintain and enhance the knowledge and skills we need to deliver a professional service to the community. C.P.D ensures that we and our knowledge stays relevant and up to date.
