Twenty three years of caring for Lilydale, one patient at a time.
Dr Jonathan Baker began his osteopathic practice in 2003 with a vision to create a holistic health centre that cares for the whole person in body, mind, soul and spirit. That vision is still what runs the clinic today. Jonathan remains Practice Principal, consulting three days a week and managing both the Lilydale and Bayswater North clinics on the others. The team built around him has a very high retention rate, with many practitioners having consulted at BDHH for over eight years. Dr Samara Melder, for example, has been with the clinic since 2014. That continuity means patients regularly see the same faces, year after year.
