How to book an appointment at Eramosa Family Medical Centre

Who are the doctors at Eramosa Clinic Somerville?

Eramosa Family Medical Centre currently lists a large group of independent general practitioners. The official directory identifies Dr Shaun Zail as Principal and lists the following GPs. Doctor rosters can change, so use the official directory when selecting a practitioner.

The official directory is the better source for current doctor availability and individual profiles.

Which Eramosa doctors have specific interests?

The clinic’s individual profiles provide additional information for some practitioners. For example, Dr Josh Honig lists interests including paediatrics, counselling, travel medicine and minor surgery, including vasectomies and complex skin cancer removal procedures.

Dr Shuba Jeya Dev lists paediatrics, women’s health and chronic disease management among her special interests. Dr Tusitha Abeyawardana lists mental health, chronic disease management, men’s health, travel medicine, gastroenterology, hepatology, renal and respiratory conditions.

Dr Fatemeh Haghshenas lists skin cancer procedures, preventative healthcare, chronic disease management and paediatrics, while Dr Ayesha Salman lists women’s health and IUD insertion alongside dermoscopy and skin-condition care.

These profiles are useful when choosing a GP, but a stated interest does not necessarily mean that every procedure is available at every appointment. Ask the clinic when booking if you need a particular service.

What services are available?

Skin cancer checks at Eramosa Medical Clinic

Skin cancer detection and treatment is one of the services highlighted by the practice. If you are booking specifically for a skin concern, tell reception what you need so the appointment can be scheduled appropriately.

The clinic also lists doctors with additional skin cancer or dermoscopy interests. For example, Dr Praveen Hetti Thanthrige lists professional training in general dermatology, dermoscopy and skin cancer medicine, while Dr Fatemeh Haghshenas and Dr Ayesha Salman list dermoscopy-related qualifications or interests.

Because procedures and doctor availability can differ, confirm the exact service, appointment length and expected fees with the clinic before attending.

Fees and billing: what should you check?

The official website has a dedicated Fees & Appointments page, but the currently accessible page does not expose a complete consultation-fee table in its text. For that reason, this guide does not invent or publish consultation prices that cannot be verified from the current official page.

This is particularly important because the centre states that its GPs are independent practitioners operating their own practices within the facility. Billing arrangements can therefore depend on the individual practitioner and service.

What to take to your appointment

• Your Medicare card or relevant healthcare card, if applicable.
• A list of current medicines and supplements.
• Relevant previous test results, referrals or medical documents.
• Information about allergies and significant medical history.
• Your vaccination or travel information if the appointment is travel-related.
• A clear list of the issues you want to discuss.

New patients: what to know before your first visit

New patients can contact the centre to arrange an appointment. The official contact page asks new patients to download and complete a registration form and bring it to the first appointment.

The clinic also asks patients seeking scripts, referrals, health information or changes to an existing booking to telephone reception rather than using email or the online contact form for those requests.
