Sexual health problems are the most common in men and women aged 18 to 42; these problems which usually need a doctor’s immediate consultation often go unattended because people hesitate to speak about their sexual health problems openly. You can however, speak about your concerns to the specially appointed sexual health doctors in Forest Lake area because your information here will be kept confidential and you will be given complete medical care and attention to make sure you recover quickly.

There are 3 consultations involved in this process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is mixed billing and how does it affect me?

Mixed billing means that while some patients may be eligible for bulk billing (where Medicare covers the full cost of the consultation), others may need to pay an out-of-pocket fee.
How this affects you depends on your Medicare eligibility, the type of consultation you require, and the doctor you see, and the treatment cost. To understand any potential fees for your appointment, please contact our clinic.

Can I walk in for an appointment, or do I need to book ahead?

While we strive to accommodate walk-in patients, we recommend booking an appointment in advance to ensure you receive timely care.
