From our original medical interests in ophthalmology, for over thirty years , and an increasing awareness of the numerous health and wellness problems associated with uncontrolled diabetes, it was a natural progression to open a comprehensive Diabetic Clinic at Orange Grove .
The Team at Orange Grove decided to provide accessible knowledge and support for those in our community, who have diabetes, or those who care for someone with diabetes.
Through empowering our patients towards self-management, our goal is to prevent complications as a result of diabetes, and contribute to improving the overall health of our local population.
