Broadbeach General Practice

Dr Bruce Whelan

Dr W. Bruce Whelan graduated from the University of Queensland in 1967

and has been working in general practice since 1971. Working as one of the

doctors at the Gold Coast drug council in 2006, Dr Whelan has a world of

knowledge in drug addiction medicine, general psychiatry and dual diagnosis.

He was also recently involved in teaching medical students at both Bond and

Griffith Medical Schools.

Dr Whelan has experienced more trauma than the average doctor – first the

Bali bombings, then the 2004 Asian tsunami. Nowadays, he deals with

patients whose lives have been traumatized by their addictions.

His special areas of interest are psychiatry and drug addiction as well as all

areas of general practice.

Dr Whelan works from 8am to 5pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays and from

8am to 12pm on Fridays. Please ensure you book ahead of time for your

appointment as Dr Whelan’s books fill up very quickly.
