Jimboomba Junction Family Practice and Skin Cancer Clinic have been serving the local community and its families for over 20 years.
The practice was rebuilt in 2008 to offer state of the art facilities to local families.
They also have a dedicated skin cancer clinic.
Dr Emma Proudman-Willet has been part of the practice since 1995 and has been running the practice since 2006 with her husband Dr Rod Willet.
Dr Emma only performs Skin Cancer Medicine and has done a great deal of post-graduate studies to further her skill in this area.
Most doctors have the ability to diagnose melanoma that is advanced. Unfortunately, it is often too late by this stage as early diagnosis is critical.
This is why JJFP have a dedicated skin cancer clinic.
JJFP use dermatoscopy (skin surface microscopy) to help their doctors diagnose skin cancers and melanomas early.
Computerised dermatoscopy technology allows the doctors to photograph and save an image for later comparison.
This helps to diagnose the earliest forms of melanoma.
It also helps minimise the need to surgically remove lesions which look suspicious with the naked eye but are actually quite innocent.
Dr Rod joined the team in 1997 and together with Dr Emma, owns and runs the practice. He enjoys all facets of General Practice but has a particular interest in Skin Cancer Medicine, Surgical Procedures (including Vasectomy), Cosmetic Medicine and Chronic Disease Management.
JJFP currently have nine doctors working at the clinic all of which are Vocationally Registered and hold a Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (FRACGP) or are working toward that.
What also sets them apart is that they set aside 15 minutes for each appointment, whereas many practices allow just 10 minutes.
They believe in providing enough time for a comprehensive assessment.
By name and by nature, they are a family owned and oriented practice
