BULK BILLED SKIN CHECKS WITH DR SADEGHI!
Call Clayfield Reception to book or for more information: (07) 3268 1937
Dr Sadeghi sees patients at SmartClinics Clayfield. He graduated from School of Medicine in 1994 and has been practicing medicine ever since. Being around as a doctor for a quarter of a century has made him quite boring according to him. He moved to Australia in 2003 and began his PhD at the University of Queensland (UQ) while he continued practicing medicine here in Australia. He started general practice in QLD from Toowoomba in 2004 which made that city one of his favourite spots for the rest of his life. After finishing his PhD on Epidemiology of the Oesophageal Carcinoma in 2007 he moved back to full time general practice and obtained his general registration followed by his fellowship in general practice (FRACGP). In 2011 he also was accepted to registrar training program at the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery and obtained his fellowship in cosmetic surgery in 2013. Ever since he has managed to continue practicing medicine in two areas of general practice, and cosmetic surgery, skin cancer and skin disease.
Shahram is interested in all aspects of general practice, with a particular special interest in skin cancer and skin disease, chronic illnesses (cardiovascular, and diabetes) as well as emergencies (bone fractures, trauma and other injuries).
Shahram also runs his own Cosmetic Practice and is very passionate about it, so feel free to ask any burning questions about skin or related issues. Outside medicine he is fan of fitness, he calls gym his happy place and is crazy about water activities. That includes swimming every week and an embarrassing surfing skill, however he has no plans to give it up.
Shahram deeply believes in wholistic medicine, physical and psychological and social factors are important factors, therefore for him our diet and lifestyle has a big impact on our health and therefore always expect him to give you a frustrating lecture about alcohol, weight, exercise and other boring things.

Clayfield
Dr Ian Walsh has been a doctor since graduating from the University of Queensland in 2001. Medicine followed his previous careers in pharmacy as well as being a police officer. He has been working as a GP since 2004, initially undertaking his training in the country, prior to returning to Brisbane. He also worked at the Mater Hospital as the Director of Clinical Training over a two year period, which allowed him to expand his love of teaching junior doctors and medical students.
Ian has been a member of the SmartClinics team since 2011, when he started at Chermside. He is now permanently based at our Clayfield practice. He is interested in all facets of general practice, with a particular special interest in men’s health and mental health. He also, on account of his previous policing service, is interested in the wellbeing of emergency service workers, acknowledging the work that they do and the inherent risks associated with their professions.
Outside of work, his time is spent with his blended family, with three children of his own in addition to a new partner and her two children. Despite the demands associated with this setup, he wouldn’t have it any other way, spending as much time as possible with them, be it relaxing as a family, playing a game of cards or being involved in their sporting pursuits. He also has a great love for St George, taking every opportunity during the cooler months to watch them run around the football field.
What Ian loves most of all about being a GP is the opportunity to be involved in people’s lives and hopefully have a positive influence, encouraging balance and seeking to attain positive relationships in every facet of their lives. He offers support and encouragement to all patients, both new and old, working with his patients to achieve positive health changes and outcomes.
