Sunflower Private Medical

The physical clinic is closed until the 7th January 2025.

We are not a GP cliinic our private clinic, Sunflower Private Medical is now based in Parap, a suburb of Darwin, 0820 Northern Territory and incorporates an educational element with the Menopause and Andropause Centre (see link). The primary focus of the new Sunflower Medical centre is the diagnosis and the treatment of menopause and andropause, in the Northern Territory and beyond and we also provide full body skin checks..

If a Telehealth consult is sought, a confidential Zoom meeting will be set up for a consultation on an agreed day and time and a payment link will be emailed to the patient.

We provide a different concept in men and women’s sexual health.

Our clinic is 100%  private fees (No Medicare rebates available for consultations). Our aim is to listen, discuss, review options, give you time to consider, undertake tests if appropriate, review results and treat and manage as necessary. Our basic concept is an initial 20 minute consult to gather all history, issues and discuss options.

Our services are available through our clinic privately, our main focus is on men and women’s health particularly hormonal issues primarily (menopause and andropause) and often these impact several health issues such as weight, skin and sexual function (both physical and psychological) in both men and women.

Every patient attending receives a relevant examination and if indicated, blood pathology, and any other tests considered to be appropriate to your health and wellbeing.

Our doctor, Dr Catherine Lehmann and her area of focus

Many factors influence “health”, obviously including infection and injury, but health is also impacted by genes, the environment, diet, hormones, psychology and other life factors as they can contribute as to why we get or feel sick or lead to loss of function.. These need to be considered, understood, and accommodated in a diagnosis and plan leading to a management plan and treatment.

Within the wider medical environment Sunflower Medical has chosen to focus on Andropause (the male drop off in testosterone) and Menopause and Perimenopause, a female drop off in hormones . The principal doctor, Dr Catherine Lehmann MD, has operated in this area of medicine for many years and kept abreast of developments and studies. She is a member of the USA based Menopause Society that is a great source of information (see menopause.org) as well as being a member of the Australasian Menopause Society, the European Menopause and Andropause Society (ENAS) and the Health Male, Australia.
