SKIN CLINICS

🌟Why do we ask for your credit card to be held when booking on HotDoc?🌟
Our skin cancer screening clinics are a premium service which allow you to have your skin check locally, rather than travelling to the city which is very costly. These are long consultations that poorly funded by Medicare and take our Doctors away from regular consulting. As such, we charge a private fee (a gap) to ensure this is a sustainable service.
Historically many patients have either failed to attend appointments or refused to pay the gap. We now ask that patients use Hotdocs to confirm their appointment, confirm that they are aware that there is a fee associated with this service and enter their credit card details in advance to secure the booking and have their visit processed electronically. The use of this process via Hotdocs has drastically reduced the rate non-attendance and has ensured that many more people have had their skin cancer screening performed.
If you have any problems using this system, please talk to our helpful reception staff.
🌟Which system is used to ensure your credit card details are safe?🌟
Renmark Medical Clinic uses the financial organization Stripe when using the HotDoc platform to process payments on behalf of the practice. Stripe is Level 1 certified with the Payment Card Industry – Data Security Standards. As a result, your card details, expiry, CVV codes, and data are secure and will never be visible or stored with HotDoc or the practice.

🌟ABOUT SKIN CHECKS🌟
A skin check is one of the best ways to detect and prevent skin cancers. Skin checks generally take 20-30 minutes to complete, and during that time, your doctor will examine your whole body. If your doctor finds a suspicious spot on your skin, they may rebook you to remove it or perform a biopsy (removing a small sample of tissue for detailed examination at a laboratory).
If you are interested in this service, please phone the clinic now on 8586 4111 to arrange an appointment or book via HotDocs.
As our Skin Clinic is a premium service, a fee of $165 applies to all patients. This is not a bulk-billed service. Cancellations within 4 hours’ notice or appointments not attended will incur a $160.00 fee. These fees are not Medicare claimable and will be deducted from your held credit card.
If you have a viral illness, please DO NOT PRESENT to the Medical Clinic.
PLEASE CALL the clinic on 08 8586 4111.

⭐🥼 WELCOME BACK TO DR DASITH JAYATILAKE 🥼⭐

We are thrilled to have Dr Dasith Jayatilake back in the clinic after completing training with us earlier in the year. He will be in the clinic 1-2 days a week.

His decision to pursue rural medicine was a simple realisation of the joys of country living and the breadth of what rural GPs can offer their communities. This is something that he is familiar with, having grown up in rural NSW, with his father working hard as a rural doctor being one of his earliest and most fond memories.

Dasith and his family are thankful to have been embraced by the Riverland community and look forward to making a positive impact. Outside of work and apart from being a massive foodie and cricket fanatic, he loves being in the gym, going for jogs around the town and spending quality time with his wife.

📅 Please ring the clinic on 8586 4111 or book via HotDoc to schedule an appointment with Dr Dasith.

🧠💙 Movember: Let’s Talk Men’s Mental Health 💙🧠

This November, we’re joining the global Movember movement to shine a light on an issue that’s too often left in the shadows: men’s mental health.

Men are less likely to speak up about their struggles — but that doesn’t mean they’re not facing them. Depression, anxiety, and su***de affect men at alarming rates, and silence can be deadly.

At Renmark Medical, we believe that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Whether it’s a chat with a mate, a visit to your GP, or reaching out to a mental health professional — every step matters.
