Patients With Cancer

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer, you would understand the importance and benefits of early intervention. Over the years, diagnosis for cancers such as breast cancer, cervical cancer and bowel cancer has become easier thanks to technological advances in diagnostic testing equipment. We can now detect some forms of cancer before any symptoms are present.

The best thing you can do is to become familiar with your own body. Changes, even minor ones, can indicate that something is wrong. For example, many Australians have presented to their general practitioners to examine a new lump or spot on their skin. While these symptoms can arise due to several causes, it is always best to be on the safe side and consult an experienced professional.

Patients With Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects a significant portion of the Australian population. People who are overweight or obese are particularly at risk of developing Type 1, Type 2, prediabetes and gestational diabetes.

Diabetes can be prevented or delayed by maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle. With a team of experienced medical practitioners and a qualified dietician, Eli Waters Medical Centre provides personalised diabetes management plans for individuals and families seeking efficient methods of managing their disease.

As a progressive disease, it is important to consistently monitor your condition’s status so that our team can advise you on our recommended treatment options—whether it be changes to medication, lifestyle factors and more.
