Dr Wilhelmina Kurstjens
MBBS (hon) FRACCGP, DRANZCOG, DCH, Cert FP, EMC, BVSc, MACVSc
Even though my official name is Wilhelmina, I have always been known by my nickname, Willika (it’s a Dutch thing and I am too old to change it now). Some people call me Will.
Originally, I came from Holland.
I have a Bachelor of Veterinary Science which I practiced for 10 years prior to commencing a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery. I now also hold a Diploma in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Child Health, and Emergency Medicine. I have further training and a special interest in Skin Cancer.
After 7 years of doing locum work in many different practices, I have finally found a practice I like so much that I have started working here.
