• Dr J J Kabler
  

  MBBS (1987) DGM MrCGP FPcert
  I qualified from Royal Free Hospital in London in 1986. I spent my training rotations in Jersey General Hospital. After completing my GP training I stayed on in Jersey for 1 year doing psychiatry at which point I came back to the UK and have been at the Chipping ever since!
  I do plenty of minor surgery and joint injections, occasionally acupuncture. I also have an interest in Skin problems and use a dermatoscope which enables you to see more details of a skin lesion than you can with the naked eye. This helps to decide what may be a skin cancer and what is benign. I am married to a very busy TV presenter Jackie who currently works for QVC. Outside interests include Jumps racing, playing golf and tennis, cycling and above all cooking (closet masterchef!).

  I have a passion about good quality contraceptive advice and fit coils and implants. I am responsible for personnel at the surgery and regularly attend our patient participation meetings. I am also Lead GP for Safeguarding Children and learning disability.
