Men's Health
Men's health is obviously of equal importance. The emphasis is on prevention of heart attack , stroke, diabetes and bowel cancer as well as the management of depression and prostate issues.
Drug and Alcohol
Opiate replacement significantly reduces the risk of overdose and infection in heroin users and increases the likelihood of them returning to work. It also reduces crime and risk of Hepatitis and HIV virus spread to the community.
Dr Roberts is an approved methadone and buprenorphine prescriber. There is a severe shortage of methadone prescribers and we have to limit the number of patients accepted . Assisting with alcohol- related problems is also part of our practice.
