Dr Jane Rohon O’Halloran
“Healthcare is my expertise. I have been in the field for over 40 years! Great health is my priority. I have worked as a registered nurse in intensive care units and emergency wards and therefore have a great respect for conventional medicine”.
As a naturopathic doctor, Dr Jane’s strengths are in prevention of illness and the care of those with complex chronic medical conditions. According to Dr Jane the diagnosis or type of treatment is really secondary to the person with the symptoms. Dr Jane treats the person, not the disease.
Dr Jane is interested in a safe effective approach that is cost effective and at the same time respects the values of the and physiology of the patient. Naturopathic doctors are always looking for the best medicine – not necessarily an alternative to the standard of the day. In some cases the best choice is an antibiotic or narcotic pain reliever. My choices for treatment include acupuncture, dietary advice, or a referral to another practitioner.
Currently Dr Jane is a Supervisor at the FNC and as well works and co-owns the Fairfield Health and Wellness Clinic with her husband Juan Rohon since 1986. Jane resides in her home town of Victoria with her four boys.
