"But I feel fine!" — In medicine, this can be the most dangerous phrase.
Many chronic conditions, such as Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) and High Cholesterol, are "silent." They don't cause pain or visible symptoms until they reach a critical stage.

The Facts:
📍Blood Pressure: Known as the "Silent Killer" because it often goes undetected without screening.
📍Diabetes: Type 2 Diabetes can develop over a decade; a simple pathology test can catch it while it is still reversible.
📍Early Detection: Plaque buildup can begin early. Knowing your baseline now allows for lifestyle shifts rather than long-term medication later.

Your skin check deserves a meticulous, clinical eye. 🔍

We are proud to have Dr. Rui Feitosa (FRACGP) leading our Skin Cancer Clinic. Dr. Rui brings over 20 years of clinical experience to the Illawarra, including his tenure as a Surgical Registrar in the Melanoma and Plastic Surgery Units at RPA and Wollongong Hospital.

By combining advanced dermoscopy with a deep understanding of tissue structure from his background in Vascular and General Surgery, Dr. Rui provides a thorough, head-to-toe assessment. From identifying "Ugly Duckling" spots to performing on-site surgical removals, your care is managed under one roof.

Secure your peace of mind with an experienced clinical perspective. Book with Dr. Rui Feitosa at crownwestmedical.com.au.

Skin cancer is a master of disguise. It doesn’t always look like a dark mole, and that "healthy" base tan? It's actually a sign of DNA damage, not protection.

Because it’s usually painless in the early stages, what you don't know can put you at risk. We’ve put together a guide to help you separate fact from fiction.

Click the link in our bio to read our skin health myth-buster and book your 15-minute check-up. With some of the highest rates in the country here in the Illawarra, professional detection is your best defense. Our GPs examine, biopsy, and treat on-site—plus, we’re open Sundays from 10am to fit your schedule.

Your health shouldn't have to wait until you can take time off work. We understand the juggle of the Monday–Friday grind, which is why Crown West Medical offers the convenience of Sunday appointments in the heart of the Wollongong CBD.

We are officially accepting new patients. Whether it’s a skin check, a family consultation, or a general review, our doors are open even on a Sunday.

See you! 🫶🏻💙

A confident teen becomes a health-aware adult. As children grow into young adults, their healthcare needs change. At Crown West Medical, we support the transition from childhood to independence by offering a safe, inclusive space for teens to manage their own health journey.

Why we encourage "solo" GP visits (ages 14+):
✅ Health Literacy: Learning how to navigate a consultation and ask questions.
✅ Patient Confidentiality: In NSW, young people have a right to private healthcare, allowing them to discuss sensitive topics in a secure environment.
✅ The 15-Year Milestone: At 15, teens can apply for their own Medicare card and manage their own digital health history.

Our doctors hold advanced training in adolescent health and prioritise thorough, thoughtful care for every stage of life.

Empower their health journey. Book a consultation for your teen at crownwestmedical.com.au

NSW Health Alert: Measles is highly infectious, and recent alerts have put the community on high notice.

According to public health data, one positive case of Measles can potentially infect up to 18 unvaccinated people nearby. Because the virus is airborne, it can remain active in a room for up to two hours after an infected person has left.

With school holidays increasing foot traffic in malls and cinemas, ensuring your family’s immunization records are current is vital. While the first MMR dose is essential, a second dose is the clinical "safety net" that brings protection to 99%.

Not sure if you're up to date? We can verify your AIR records during your visit. Book a catch-up at crownwestmedical.com.au.

Flu vaccine questions are common. Especially this year, with a new strain going around and a new needle-free option for kids available for the first time in NSW.

The flu is already going around, and this year it started earlier than usual. A new strain called Super-K has been spreading across Australia since late last year.

Every winter, the Illawarra sees a big spike in flu cases. Health authorities here have consistently told people to get vaccinated before the cold hits, not after. This year's flu vaccine has been updated to cover Super-K.

It is available in NSW now. And for the first time, NSW children aged 2 to 4 can get FluMist, a free nasal spray vaccine. No needle. April is the right time. Do not wait for the winter season to force it.
