Dan’s depth of knowledge, and professionalism combined with a charismatic, caring nature provides a holistic quality diagnostic imaging service.
Dan’s wife and children returned to New Zealand in 2018 to be closer to family locating to the South Wairarapa early 2021 to set up their imaging practice in the new Five Rivers Medical. The plan to provide ultrasound and soon after DEXA in the region was born to provide first class local access to services and avoid the arduous hill journey for diagnostic imaging.
Five Rivers Medical
The simultaneous development of state of the art Five Rivers Medical was a perfect match for Greyscale Ultrasound. As a husband-and-wife team, Dan and Mel’s vision is to provide a comprehensive high quality ultrasound center of excellence in the region.
Mel is a registered nurse trained here New Zealand (Massy University) who performs the Bone Mineral densitometry/DEXA (Osteoporosis screening and Body Mass Composition). Both Dan and Mel are proud to have established the first DEXA screening unit in the region.
Good bone health is vital to healthy aging. Screening can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality in later years, save the health system huge costs by avoiding avoidable fragility fracture and admissions and surgeries.
