Dr Ankur Bhatnagar

Ankur completed his medical degree at Deakin University before undertaking his GP registrar training in Toowoomba and becoming a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.

His medical career has taken him across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sydney and regional Queensland, alongside extensive experience in after-hours medicine.

He has a particular interest in caring for children and families, having completed a Diploma in Child Health through the University of Sydney, as well as men’s health, allergy and dermatology.

Before studying medicine, Ankur also completed a Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science at Griffith University, giving him an additional foundation in medicines and pharmaceutical science.

Ankur believes good general practice is built around communication.

He places particular importance on giving patients the opportunity to explain what is concerning them, listening carefully and addressing those concerns early in the consultation.

From there, his approach is collaborative. Ankur wants patients to understand the clinical reasoning behind their care and to be involved in the decisions that follow.

It means combining medical knowledge with something much simpler: taking the time to understand the person sitting in front of you.

For Ankur, one of the strengths of Nuevo Medical is what happens beyond the GP consultation.

General practitioners work alongside medical specialists, allied health practitioners and other healthcare professionals within the same centre, creating opportunities for different parts of a patient’s care to be more closely connected.

Whether a patient needs the ongoing support of their GP, specialist input, further investigation or allied health care, Ankur values being able to draw on interdisciplinary expertise and work collaboratively with the broader Nuevo team.

It reflects the kind of general practice he believes in: accessible, collaborative and connected around the patient.

Ankur speaks English and Hindi, allowing him to consult with patients in either language.

Outside medicine, he enjoys music, reading, cricket, football and driving.

Dr Ankur Bhatnagar provides general practice care at Nuevo Medical, 100 Bundall Road, Bundall, with particular interests in paediatrics, men’s health, allergy and dermatology.

He consults Monday to Friday and welcomes patients looking for a GP who values communication, continuity and collaborative care.
