Practice Background

Red Hill Doctors Surgery exists in an old house that has been the home of a doctor since it was built over 100 years ago. The current practice started in 1988 when Dr McKellar purchased the business from Dr Dewar. In those days there was only one consulting room. Dr Hopkins joined in 1989 and the junk room, which is now the main reception area, was turned into a second consulting area. In those days there was no air-conditioning and the toilet was located outside and under the building.

The demographics of the practice began to change as more young families moved to the suburb of Red Hill to renovate and live in the inner city. Dr Maher joined in 1991 and continued the trend combining the joys of motherhood with the demands of an ever-growing practice. Dr Silburn joined the practice as the forth practice principal in 1998 and all four ladies with the help of the committed team of General Practitioners,Nurses, Allied Health and non-medical staff, continue to work hard at maintaining the unique spirit of this practice.

Our Services

Book an Appointment

Consultations are made by appointment with the doctor of your choice. The first available doctor sees urgent cases. If you have few things to discuss in your appointment, we would appreciate you letting the Receptionist know when you make the appointment so that extra time can be allowed. Due to the unpredictable nature of general practice consultations, the doctors will sometimes run behind schedule. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Online appointments are available for all new and existing patients.  Download the Appointuit App from your smart phone, IPad or tablet and so you can book appointments at your convenience.

We ask all our New Patients to arrive at least 10 minutes prior to their appointment to allow time to complete the New Patient forms.  To save time you can download these forms prior to your appointment from our website.  When you arrive for your appointment give our Receptionist the completed and signed Patient information form, Privacy Form and Patient history form (found below) so we can create your file ready for the Doctor.  These forms will be scanned into your Medical File and then placed in our locked shredding bin.
