Dr Virendra Berera MB BS, FAMASDr Virendra Berera
MB BS, FAMAS · General Practitioner
Dr Virendra Berera has looked after Northcote families since 1976.
He holds an MB BS and is a Fellow of the Australasian Medical Acupuncture Society. Patients tend to stay with him for decades, long enough that he now sees the grandchildren of families he first met as young parents.
Home visits are available for regular patients whose condition prevents them from attending the surgery. Emergency calls are put through to the doctor immediately during clinic hours. When the practice is closed, call our locum service on (03) 9429 5677.
Familiar Faces at Reception
Neelam keeps the practice running day to day, Shreejana works alongside Dr Berera on clinical care, and Stavroula, Paula and Zoe are usually the first people you'll speak to, on the phone or at the front desk.
