Finding Balance: Family, Community, and Purpose

October 20, 2025

At Newcastle Cosmetic Doctor, I have always believed that true success in cosmetic medicine goes beyond great results. It is about integrity, relationships, and balance. Away from the clinic, the most important part of my life is my family. Recently, my wife and I, together with our twins, Johnny and Trudy, moved to a new home in Bangkok.

We had been living in a condo in Thonglor, which served us well for a while, but as the twins reached just over a year old, we wanted more space, a safe and family friendly environment where they can learn, play, and grow. Our new home is in a gated community of only 24 houses, filled with families from around the world: Korea, China, Sweden, Germany, Australia, the UK, Kenya, and Thailand. It is multicultural, welcoming, and has a beautiful park and pool that make it perfect for young children.

The move has given us more room to enjoy life together and to welcome family and friends, including grandma, aunties, uncles, my brother Sam, and my best mate Sharon Leayr, who I work alongside at Newcastle Cosmetic Doctor.

For me, this change represents more than a new address. It is a reminder of what really matters: family, relationships, and community. These are the same values that guide me in my work as a doctor, putting people first, treating patients with honesty, and creating an environment built on trust and safety.

Becoming a father has completely reshaped how I see life. It is not about working harder for money; it is about working with purpose and compassion. Life now comes down to three things: unconditional love for my children, respect for my wife, and the drive to protect, guide, and be present for those I love.

In both family and medicine, the goal is the same, to care deeply, act ethically, and make a positive difference. Because being a good parent or a good doctor is not about what people achieve; it is about who they are and how they feel under your care. ❤️
