Out of the 15 leading causes of death, men lead women in all of them except Alzheimer's disease, which many men don't live long enough to develop. These leading causes of poor men's health are known, common, and often preventable. Regular checkups and screening tests can ensure that you, as a man, maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce health concerns. Our highly-skilled GP, Dr Peter Petrie, leads the Male Health team 'Restore the Man', which allows for the discussion and recommendation of modern solutions that can address or even reverse some of these issues. Dr Peter Petrie, Dr Keiron Ford and Dr Pritesh Morar all have experience in this area of Male Health, and are able to provide tailored recommendations.
