Originally from Bristol in the UK, Tom James studied medicine at the University of Southampton. He joined the predecessor to Three Rivers Medical, Kaiti Medical Centre, in 1994.

Dr James enjoys Gisborne’s relaxed lifestyle, nice people, beaches and surf, and is passionate about helping people maximise their potential for health. Dr James’ prescription for living to a ripe old age?
“Survive the pitfalls of adolescence and middle age.  This usually involves living a purposeful, contented life without the need for recreational drugs, cigarettes and excesses of alcohol.  That and putting the right fuel in the tank as far as food is concerned.”
