Men see a doctor less often than they should. Dr Whitfield offers a straightforward annual check and is happy to talk about the things that are harder to raise, from low mood to sexual health.
What it includes
- Annual health check: blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and weight
- Prostate and testicular concerns, with screening advice
- Sexual health and erectile problems
- Mental health, stress and sleep
- Alcohol and smoking support
- Workplace injuries and sports medicine
Who it is for
Men of any age. If you have not seen a doctor in a few years, a long appointment is a good place to start.
How to book
Book a long appointment for a full check, or a standard one for a single concern. You can ask for a male doctor if you prefer.
Common questions
Do I need a prostate test?
It depends on your age, family history and symptoms. Screening has benefits and downsides, and your doctor will talk them through so you can decide together.
Is the check covered by my insurance or rebate?
A standard or long consultation is billed as usual; blood tests are often covered separately. Reception can explain what applies to you.
