Emergency Information
If you have an emergency, please phone the surgery & staff will advise or seek advice for you and make any necessary arrangements. All patients suffering chest pain, difficulty breathing or a potential life threatening emergency should, in the first instance, CALL '000' AND ASK FOR AN AMBULANCE for transport to Gold Coast, Allamanda or Pindara Private Hospitals as these facilities are better equipped to deal with such emergencies.

Ultrasound is a painless and non invasive way of dynamically observing musculo skeletal structure and function. As there is no dangerous radiation involved it provides an ideal way of timely investigating many sporting and other physical injuries. Furthermore, where local injection or aspiration is the appropriate treatment, it is possible to visualize the point of the needle enabling precise delivery to the site of the pathology. Iota Sports Medicine at Oxenford Medical Centre is an accredited provider of this service.
Australia is currently experiencing an epidemic of Whooping Cough (Pertussis). This disease is especially dangerous for newborns.
