ABOUT THE CLINIC
Dr. Phillips was later joined by Dr. Colin Kratzing and Dr. Heather Jenkins who share ownership of the clinic with Allan. The founders and directors are still actively involved in the daily management of the clinic and are passionate about preserving and improving upon the excellence they worked hard to establish.
In 2012, sister clinic Belmont General Practice Clinic opened, which is linked to Morningside so patients are able to visit either clinic and still have all their records centralised.
