😎👍🏼❤❤❤ A shout out to Dr Fracchia, our favourite general practitioner in the mid 80’s. Such a warm and passionate person. Great to see our former GP from Top Ryde in Sydney, doing what he loves, living a helpful life with a ready smile. Great team there with him.
Warm regards, Craig & Malia, Nunia… etc
