Patient Services
General Medicine
Our doctors are specialty trained and fellows of the RACGP (Royal Australasian College of General Practitioners). They are trained to recognise a broad spectrum of illnesses and have extensive knowledge of general medicine. Their expertise in general medicine allows them to identify common medical issues and appropriately treat them. It is a little known fact that General Practitioners today undergo specialty training once they have completed their resident years in the hospital, allowing them to further increase their knowledge in the area of primary health care.
children's health
Our doctors are trained in paediatric health and are well known for their good rapport with children and all have children themselves. All parents understand that it is important that their child is happy with their doctor and that they feel comfortable and cared for. Our doctors consistently receive great feedback from parents and are as dedicated to children's health as they are to adult health. See vaccine information below for infants.
Vaccinations

Women's Health
We have female doctors available and all have an interest in women's health and antenatal care. Patients regularly see our doctors looking for advice on contraception, family health and menopause.

She is also fully qualified to perform Mirena insertions

Dr Abhi Varshney has a specific interest in workplace injuries and workplace injury management. Dr Abhi regularly visits businesses and delivers workplace health onsite.

Skin checks
Dr Abhi Varshney has a keen interest in skin cancer medicine. With a background in surgical training, Dr Abhi has completed a certificate in Advanced Dermoscopy and Dermal Imaging and can remove many skin cancers onsite. With our state of the art treatment room, we are able to offer a variety of skin cancer removal options. All of our doctors are available to administer regular skin checks and given Queensland’s high rate of skin cancer we recommend our patients have regular skin checks and monitor their own skin for changes between visits. Dr Shihui Lai has a special interest in skin checks and conducts them on a regular basis at Bowen Hills Medical Centre.
Mental health
Our doctors have undertaken additional training in mental health, allowing them to assist patients in this area. Our doctors can also refer eligible patients to a psychologist under the government's Mental Health Plan program.
Our doctors work in conjunction with local psychologists to ensure that the mental health needs of our patients are addressed.

Preventative Health
Our doctors specialise in the promotion of preventive health and have experience in working with large corporations as well as individuals. We believe that preventive health is an integral part of General Practice and our approach to medicine focuses not only on the treatment of acute illness, but also on the prevention to do our part in decreasing injuries and illnesses into the future.
Minor surgical procedures
With a state-of-the art treatment room, our clinic offers minor surgical procedures to our patients. This means decreased wait times for our patients as we can complete a range of services in-house. Our services include, but are not limited to: toe-nail resections, skin cancer removal, ear suctioning, cryotherapy, skin tag removal and ImplanonTM insertion / removal. By providing these services, we give our patients peace of mind and comfort in having their regular doctor treat them.
Men's Health
Our doctors have an interest in men's health and we believe that preventive health plays an essential part of men's health. Dr Abhi has previously spoken on community radio about the importance of health checks, particularly for men and promoted recognition that men often have differing health concerns to women. Book in now for a regular check-up to maintain your general well-being.
