Dr Vivian Fernandes takes a broad view of health—considering interacting medical conditions, investigations, medications, functional changes and other contributing factors—and brings this information together into a coordinated management plan.
Her role is particularly valuable where there may be several contributors to a person’s symptoms or reduced function rather than one clearly defined medical problem.
