Now offering ingrown toenail procedures!

/ Medsana News / By

We are pleased to announce that our clinic has expanded its services to include the treatment of ingrown toenails. An ingrown toenail is a common condition where the edge of the toenail grows into the skin, causing pain, redness, and swelling. Left untreated, an ingrown toenail can lead to serious infections and other complications. Our clinic is staffed by highly trained medical professionals who are experienced in performing ingrown toenail procedures, which typically involve removing the affected portion of the toenail and ensuring proper healing of the affected area. If you or someone you know is suffering from this condition, we encourage you to schedule an appointment at our clinic for proper treatment.

Please call reception on (07) 3852 4878 to book an initial consultation with Dr Tina Fang.

Timely PCR Swab Service

Available between 8:30am – 9am

 

  1. Short Telephone Consult with the patient – bulk billed if Medicare eligible. Private fees with no Medicare rebates apply if the patient has not seen us in the last 12 months.
  2. The doctor will request a respiratory panel for viruses and bacteria (where clinically appropriate).  For example, Influenza, Covid, RSV, mycoplasma, pertussis and so forth.  Not all possible infections are on this panel.  The doctor may decline the request if it is not appropriate and direct the patient accordingly.
  3. Normal fees will apply if more than swabbing is requested.  Clinical examination and other requests requires a normal consultation at another time.
  4. Patient arrives at the car park next to Building 10 before 11am.  Or takes the pathology request to another 4Cyte collection centre.
  5. Patient calls reception to notify of their arrival so the 4Cyte Pathology Collector can gown up and go the patient’s car to swab the patient.
  6. PCR swab gets sent to 4Cyte.  The processing times varies according to workflows.
  7. 4Cyte will SMS the patient with the Covid results.  Positive PCR test results for other respiratory viruses or bacteria are not named.  A negative PCR result doesn’t mean the patient is infection free.  These swabs narrow down the possibilities and guide appropriate treatments.
  8. An appropriate appointment needs to be made for results in person, via video or via phone.  Normal fees applies for these consult.  Normal fees applies if the doctor calls the patient for further clinical advice and management.
