Dr. Simon James
MBBS FRACGP BSc. (Hons)
Dr. Simon James is originally a Pom. He was born in Swindon, England at some point in the late 1970s. He then studied medicine at the Royal London School of medicine and dentistry, graduating with MBBS and a BSc. with honours in physiology in 2000.
He worked in Southend hospital where he met his wife, and then was a GP for 8 years in the beautiful seaside town of Leigh-on-Sea, before deciding to immigrate to Australia and join Russell Clinic in 2010. He quickly became a part of the team and a partner shortly after.
Dr. James is married to Becky and has 2 children: Ben and Izzy. When not running around after the kids or working, he is a cricket tragic but can also entertain himself watching most other sports too. He is a member of the Adelaide Oval, although if seen there when the cricket is on (especially the Ashes) he is sometimes distracted from conversation. He also loves film, is keen on the gym, and enjoys meals out.
Medically he considers himself a generalist, but particularly enjoys paediatric care and chronic disease. He performs minor operations and suturing.
Dr. James works Monday - Friday. He is understandably very popular and has a large patient base. To allow Dr. James to provide his patients with the best care and timely appointments, he has his books closed and unfortunately cannot accommodate new patients.
