We believe in the ‘old school’ values of medical care, where patients can interact directly with their doctor without having to wait weeks to get an appointment.
From the moment you step through our door, you’ll experience a warm and welcoming atmosphere from a husband and wife team.
Our clinic offers a modern, discreet and calm environment for all our patients.
We welcome self-referrals as well as all GP referrals, and provide services to Southern Cross members, NIB and other health insurers
We offer clinical diagnosis and definitive treatment of all forms of skin cancer. This includes surgical excision, from simple ellipses to flaps, complex facial reconstructions and skin grafts.
We use the least invasive and most modern vasectomy technique available … the no-needle, no-scalpel vasectomy. The entire procedure is done in less than 15 minutes, virtually pain-free!
We prepare a concentrated suspension of platelets, extracted from your own blood. These platelets are then injected into osteoarthritic or painful knees under ultrasound guidance.
We inject either a corticosteroid or PRP into the carpal tunnel, under ultrasound guidance. The consultation and procedure can be done in 30 minutes.
