Clinical Practice

Professor Johan Rosman is a Specialist General Physician with a focus on Nephrology. He treats hypertension and he is passionate about delivering a high quality service to his patients. His commitment stems from the belief that by fostering close collaboration among patients, doctors, and allied health workers, the prevention and slowing down of kidney disease progression can be achieved.

Professor Johan Rosman has established a patient-focused concept in his private clinic for individuals referred for kidney disease or hypertension. The core principle of his approach is to involve the patient, their GP, and himself closely, resulting in excellent outcomes within a shorter timeframe and at a reduced cost. Dr. Rosman's goal is to efficiently address the patients' concerns and deliver effective solutions.

During the initial consultation, Dr. Rosman dedicates a full hour to comprehensively understand the patient's medical history, conduct a thorough examination, and provide detailed explanations about the functioning of healthy kidneys and the specific issues related to the patient's condition. Together, they develop a testing plan. A follow-up appointment is scheduled a few weeks later, allowing sufficient time to discuss the test results, address any queries the patient may have, and collaboratively design a personalized treatment plan. Dr. Rosman encourages patients to maintain contact via email between visits, ensuring a prompt response. He emphasizes that their GP is also easily reachable through the same communication channel.

Remote & Telehealth Appointments

For patients residing in remote areas with long travel distances, Dr. Rosman offers the convenience of computer-to-computer video consultations. In cases where this is not feasible, he can arrange consultations over the phone. Dr. Rosman has successfully treated numerous patients using this approach, including those from The Kimberley, Pilbara, Wheatbelt, Goldfields,
