Our Team

At Equinox, we understand that our doctors are people too. Just as it happens in the wider community, sometimes we connect with people immediately and sometimes we struggle to find a connection. We want you to have the best experience you can with your GP. If you find that you don’t quite gel with the first doctor you see at Equinox, that’s ok!

We encourage our clients to request the practitioners they prefer to see and we will always try to accommodate your preferences. Check out our current staff bios to find out some more!
