About us
Our Practice
Hobart Cardiology and Medical Specialists provides an extensive suite of cardiological care. We also offer neurology, general medicine, respiratory and sleep medicine, orthopaedics and endocrinology specialist medical care.
Local expertise along with visiting medical specialists from the mainland allow us to provide a comprehensive cardiological service on-site. For more complicated procedures that are not performed in Hobart, we deliver pre- and post-procedural care.
We welcome enquiries from medical specialists to join our rooms. In particular, along with cardiologists, we are currently seeking respiratory physician/s:

GP and patient support
We understand that patients require explanations in plain English, and support our consultations with our library of supporting information on conditions, procedures and healthy living.
We also appreciate that GPs need timely support both at an initial enquiry level, as well as with follow-up communications. Most importantly, we ain to provide rapid access for emergency patients. Accessibility is fundamental to this practice and we work across both public and private hospitals and are located centrally to both Hobart Private and Royal Hobart Hospital.
Private hospital care
All of our doctors participate in no gap cover with the private health companies. If you require admission to either Hobart Private Hospital or Calvary, you will not be out of pocket for any in hospital services provided by our doctors.
