General Services
We aim to provide a comprehensive service and feel we have the responsibility to develop an appropriate plan for any medical problem you present to us. Many of our doctors have special interests and advanced training in a number of fields.
See our online brochures for details of some of the special services we offer.
Many of our patients are unaware of our skills and training. Even if we can't help you, we probably know who can - that is one of the great benefits of having a good GP - their networks and contacts!

To assist people with chronic illness and others who need a range of services General Practice Management Plans and Team Care Arrangements can be planned and written by your GP ensure a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to your care Patients with “Care Plans” may also be entitled to discounts by Allied Health Professionals – this can save you a lot of money Chronic diseases are increasingly common and all our GPs are very well educated in their management. Some illnesses that entitle you to a Care Plan that our practice is particularly interested in are: Arthritis, Diabetes, Cancer Management, Heart Disease, Stroke, Asthma and Kidney Disease. All doctors bulk bill these Care Plan appointments In catering for the over 75 year olds, preventive yearly health care assessments are available and recommended for all |

We do a lot of mental health work. We treat mental health patients in a holistic manner and do not always prescribe medications for them. Sometimes drugs help eg. severe depression. Other times specialist counselling works as well or better eg. generalised anxiety. Your doctor may offer you a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan, this will make it cheaper to see a counsellor. We are indeed fortunate to have experienced excellent counsellors and psychologists working in the practice - Katherine Pacey and Ron Farrell, and we liaise closely with them about many patients |
