Langpark Medical Centre has been serving the community for over 40 years. Highly experienced independent doctors work from the Langpark Medical Centre site to provide quality medical care to individuals and families. The best way to do this is for you to have a regular doctor who knows you and your medical problems.
All of our doctors are independent but collaborate to make sure that your ongoing health needs are met within the practice, even if you are unable to see your regular doctor.
We believe strongly in preventive health care and patient education. We want you to stay healthy. We offer a full immunisation service for children and adults, and are able to provide you with information for travel health and vaccinations. We offer patients the opportunity to enrol in reminder systems for health checks. If you do not wish to take part in our reminder enrolment service please let your doctor know.
Doctors are happy to help you with lifestyle issues such as, smoking, diet and weight loss, and are able to assess your risks for heart disease and stroke. We also offer men and women’s health checks, which are a great opportunity for you to discuss your health issues with your regular doctor. We also like to take the opportunity in all consultations to raise preventive health care issues.
