I am excited to share that Provisional Psychologist Breanna Elphick is now working alongside me at The Lorn Surgery and has immediate capacity for new clients.

As a Provisional Psychologist, Breanna is completing her final stages of training to becoming registered, including supervised practice. Many people may already be familiar with Breanna as a dietitian. She brings her long history of working with Eating Disorders and all things nutrition and dietetics. Breanna is an empathetic clinician and possesses a warm therapeutic style, where she focuses on creating a strong connection, rapport and trust with her clients.

A 50-minute session with Breanna will cost $120 (no Medicare rebate available).

Please call The Lorn Surgery on 02 4933 2622 with any inquiries or to make an appointment with Breanna.

The Lorn Surgery is all under one roof again.

Paediatrics, psychiatry, psychology, physiotherapy & speech pathology providers have all now moved across from Bulwer St & are looking forward to welcoming you at 8/555 High St, Maitland from tomorrow.

Today The Lorn Surgery at 15 Belmore Rd closed for the last time.

After being converted to a general practice from a heritage home by Dr Rod Allen in 1979-80, the practice has cared for generations of families from not only Bolwarra & Lorn, but greater Maitland and further afield as patients sought out the quality and genuine care the practice has always been known for.

On Tuesday the surgery begins its next evolution in caring for the Maitland community, opening in custom built premises at 8/555 High St.

But tonight we remember past practice principals Dr Allen, Drs Malcolm & Sylvia Ireland, Dr Goswell, Dr Hembry, Drs Chiang, Tolhurst & Smith and all the staff & patients who have created this little piece of Maitland history.

Dr Macklinshaw is taking a break from general practice to focus on her special interest of skin cancer medicine full time. Currently Dr Macklinshaw performs skin cancer checks Monday & Tuesday. From November she will be available for skin cancer appointments Monday-Thursday. Dr Macklinshaw’s GP patients are welcome to book with any available GP for ongoing care.

There have been plenty of happenings at the surgery so an update is well overdue!

We now have a lovely female psychiatrist Dr Aprajita Dharni who sees patients aged 13-65. If you have been seeing a psychiatrist via telehealth this is your opportunity to switch to face to face consultations with a local provider.

We also have a Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist commencing in the coming months so stay tuned...

Dr Craig Richards is now conducting ADHD assessments and initiating stimulants in collaboration with a local psychiatrist. Dr Richards is happy to take over the ongoing prescribing of your ADHD medication.

Dr Evelyn Thompson has now retired and Dr Madison Pullen is leaving to take up a position in Occupational Health. GP Dr Julia Gan will be joining the practice in August as will Dr Juliet Archibald, our new Term 1 GP Registrar.

As you would be aware we are facing a storm of respiratory tract infections due to flu, RSV, COVID and mycoplasma. We are actively increasing our on-the-day appointments to meet demand but expect appointments to remain tight over the next 2 weeks. If you are very concerned, please consider GPAccess, HEAL or Maitland ED as alternatives.

Finally, our most exciting news is that we are moving all three buildings into a new custom built medical centre at 8/555 High St, Maitland (adjacent to Genesis Health & Fitness), commencing in late August. This new site will bring all our services under one roof, provide 75 dedicated car spaces and longer term we hope will provide pharmacy and radiology as well as pathology.

We will provide further information about our move over the coming months!
