04Early Career

Hospitals,
then rooms.

Dr Nara is a fully qualified medical practitioner, graduating from Monash University in 2006. Prior to private practice he undertook various clinical rotations at hospitals in Melbourne and South-East Asia, and was actively involved in community service with Anglicare Victoria for one year and with Mission Hope on Borneo Island — supporting the social and academic development of adolescent patients.

Besides enjoying the operating theatre, he was actively involved in the education of medical students in Melbourne, Queensland and Tasmania in their respective clinical schools. He is always active with quality assurance of the respective surgical units.

Dr Nara focuses on a bespoke patient-centred approach for each unique case, so that a comprehensive assessment is delivered to understand each patient's goals. He enjoys consults with patients to discuss treatment options — to help them understand and be confident in their aesthetic journey, whether they have no treatment or consider a particular cosmetic treatment after having made an informed decision.
