About Our Clinic
At Bairnsdale Family Practice and Skin Cancer Clinic (Previously Service Street Medical Centre) we strive to care for our patients need and provide counselling and support to those in need. We work together with families as a team to bring them close. If required we refer the patients from primary or secondary health professional to tertiary care, where they are treated by professionals specialising in that specific area requiring attention, until our target is met.
We strive to promote love and affection between families.
“Family is not an important thing, it’s everything”. Michael. J. Fox
You certainly didn’t ask for them, and you can’t trade’em, but out of the billions of human beings on our planet, they’re the ones who know you best. They’re the ones who cherish you, and whom you should cherish in return – whether they’re your biological family or otherwise. Of course, families are complicated – these deep relationships can carry lots of baggage and hurt as well. Given their complexity and importance in our loves, its no wonder that throughout the course of history, people from all walks of life have pondered the complexities and conundrums of familial love.
At Bairnsdale Family Practice and Skin Cancer Clinic we work with families, our responsibilities extend beyond our patients to their friends, relatives to the community. Running a General Practice is complicated and challenging. We connect with the patient, we include the patients in their management plans, we educate them to look after themselves and manage their diseases more efficiently.
