23.01.2022 As South Australia heads into 6 days of lockdown effective midnight tonight, it's important to note we are closed for face to face consultations from 19/11/2020. All consultations will be carried out over the phone, known as Telehealth. Our doctors will assess if your healthcare needs can be managed at home or if it needs urgent attention. Please do not come into the clinic without calling us first. We have made this temporary change to help contain the spread of coronavir...us and protect patients and staff. While we manage our call volumes at this busy time, we appreciate your patience and understanding. Call us at (08)-8723 9632 to speak to our lovely GP's.

19.01.2022 As the South Australian Government has announced that their 6 day statewide lockdown will now end after 3 days instead, we are now back open as of Monday 23rd November. Call us to make an appointment @ 08 8723 9632, and as always stay safe SA.

18.01.2022 So, should you get that mole checked? If you’re even thinking this, then the answer is yes! It is very easy for us the check a mole and reassure you. If it is a problem, the earlier we see it and treat it, the better. It is never a waste of our time. Things to look out for -ABCDE: ... A - Asymmetry - One half does not match the other B - Border - no, not closures! Irregularity! The edges of the mole are irregular, ragged, notched or blurred C - Colour - The colour is not the same all over D - Diameter - the mole is wider than 6mm or is getting bigger E - Evolving - the mole is changing in size, shape, colour or becoming raised. It might be itchy, bleeding or crusting. (Source: Melanoma Institute Australia - melanoma.org.au) If there are any of these features, please contact us for a check. Even if there are none these and you’re worried, contact us. We would rather see it and say it is OK than not see it and later find a melanoma has been missed.

16.01.2022 Have you had your annual SKIN CHECK recently ? Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. As with all forms of cancer, early detection and early treatment provide the best chance of a cure. A skin check is non-invasive, quick, and is the best way to ensure early detection of skin cancer. Mount Gambier Skin Cancer Clinic's A-Team Dr Richard Try and Dr Jason Johnson are here for you, book-in today by calling us on (08) 8723 9586. Remember Prevention is better than Cure

They commence Monday 29th June 2020 and are accepting new skin cancer appointments. Dr Johnson will also be seeing his regular General Practice patients during this time. Call Mount Gambier Skin Cancer Clinic on 08 8723 9506 to make an appointment.

12.01.2022 Worried about a mole or a spot? Have a minor wound that won’t heal? Sometimes it isn’t a scratch from the roses while you were gardening. It’s worth getting it checked. A appointment can be for a single lesion or a full body check. Full body checks are good to make sure there are no other spots in places you can’t see. They take about 20-30minutes. We check the whole body except the underwear areas (unless we need to and this can be done with a chaperone and sensitively)... and it can be done in sections so you don’t feel uncomfortable. Worried about one mole or spot that has changed? Don’t let it wait! Ask for a single lesion check and we can get you in quickly. Call us on 0887239632 or 0887239605. The quicker we act the better! It’s never a waste of our time.

10.01.2022 Need to see a GP? Apart from skin cancer medicine appointments, Dr.Jason Johnson is also accepting appointments for non-skin related medical consults as well. Call Dr Try Medical Clinic on 08-8723 9586 to make an appointment with Dr.Johnson.

06.01.2022 Many Australians will remember the Sid the Seagull campaign in the 1980's which launched the 'Slip, Slop, Slap' message. Some things have changed since then but our sun is still the same. A lot of those Australians who first heard Sid’s message now have kids of their own. National Skin Cancer Action Week is the perfect opportunity to remind them of the importance of staying SunSmart, not just for themselves but for their kids as well. There are five simple things you can do t...o protect yourself and greatly reduce your risk of skin cancer. -Slip on sun-protective clothing -Slop on SPF30 (or higher) broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen at least 20 minutes before you go outdoors and reapply every two hours afterwards -Slap on a broad-brim hat to protect your face, head, neck and ears. -Seek shade -Slide on sunglasses make sure they meet Australian standards A combination of these five measures, along with getting to know your skin and regularly checking for any changes are key. The time to stop cancer is before it starts. Let’s make the future cancer free. #nationalskincanceractionweek #cancercouncil
