Dr Garfield Wright

Dr Garfield graduated from Griffith University School of Medicine right here on the Gold Coast. He spent six years at the Gold Coast University Hospital with four of those years entirely in the Obstetrics & Gynaecology Department.  

Originally from Jamaica, Dr Garfield enjoyed a career in athletics at the collegiate level after securing an athletic scholarship to the USA. This has given him a lifelong appreciation for the role of exercise in maintaining good health. He enjoys promoting exercise as preventive and rehabilitative medicine.

He enjoys working with children, pregnant patients but also those patients motivated to take charge of their chronic illnesses. 

Dr Garfield is particularly interested in the often overlooked demographic of what he calls “the Invincibles”. These are people who never visit the doctor because they feel nothing is wrong. He believes this is a very important group to work with because a little intervention and guidance can extend that period of invincibility. It’s like taking the time to get your car serviced each year even though it already runs perfectly.  Just remember an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
