Early detection could prevent the disease, increase the treatment success or reduce its impact. \u201cMost only see the doctor when they are unwell, they don\u2019t have time to see us at other times,\u201d Dr Caroline Taylor-Walker said. \u201cHowever, we would love to see patients when they are actually well. Prevention is much better than cure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This month, Surf Coast Home Doctor is offering bulk billed health checks to the community as they are strong believers in keeping our community healthy. \u201cWe are actually lucky that many chronic disease such as heart disease, diabetes, COPD and some cancers can be picked up early, which is why such health checks are essential,\u201d Dr Natasha Nogueira said.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the health checks are to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check for existing or emerging medical problems<\/li>\n<li>Assess risks of future medical issues<\/li>\n<li>Educate and confirm a healthy lifestyle, and<\/li>\n<li>Discuss screening tests.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During each check, Dr Caroline Taylor-Walker or Dr Natasha Nogueira will talk to you about your medical history, your family\u2019s history and your lifestyle. They will also discuss your mental health and screening tests open to you. Specific questions will be asked about your body systems and they may examine you. If they feel you are high risk of disease or if any concerns are picked up, they may request some investigations.<\/p>\n<p>Surf Coast Home Doctor love our community and wish to keep them as healthy as possible.
