Dr. Daniel Lichtblau – Specialist General Practitioner

Hi there, I’m Specialist General Practitioner Doctor Dan

I’m an Independent Specialist General Practitioner (GP) helping individuals and families plan and achieve their long-term health goals by providing high-quality, patient-centred healthcare in a warm and friendly environment.

MY STORY

Bridging Pharmacy and Medicine to Deliver Comprehensive Care

My journey began as a Pharmacist, a role that laid the foundation for my extensive understanding of medications and patient-centred healthcare.

Then, I found my true calling.

Medicine. So, I made the transition and decided to begin my training as an Emergency Medicine Specialist. A robust skill set for handling acute and complex medical situations.

Now, I help individuals and families live happier, healthier lives by providing high-quality, patient-centred healthcare in a warm and friendly environment.

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my wonderful wife, young children, and my dogs (Max and Bella.)

MEDICAL SPECIALTIES

I strive to support your long term health goals

  • I have extensive experience caring for individuals in nursing homes and offer visits to residential aged care facilities. I am dedicated to providing dignified, comprehensive care that supports your quality of life and personal priorities.

  • I understand that visiting the doctor can be stressful for both children and parents. Which is why I am committed to providing care in a warm and friendly environment, ensuring a comfortable experience for everyone. I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages, from childhood vaccinations, to growth and development checks, and everything in-between.

  • A disease or condition is considered chronic when it has been present for six months or more. It includes conditions such as diabetes, osteoarthritis, asthma, cancer and heart disease. Living with a chronic disease can affect many aspects of your life. I work closely with you to help you manage your condition and provide a long-term management plan if necessary.

  • I support you to maximise your independence and functioning, and minimise long-term health needs by providing specialised treatment, care planning, and education with chronic and complex health issues. I work with you, your loved ones, and other services to develop goals and establish plans to assist you in managing your own health.

  • I offer advice, consultation and treatment for all contraceptive and sexual health requirements. All options are discussed confidentially and with sensitivity to your needs.

  • I review and treat a wide range of skin, hair and nail conditions. I provide comprehensive care for common and uncommon skin diseases, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, vitiligo, hair loss conditions and alopecia areata among many others.

  • Obesity is a genetic disease. If you are obese, your genes make you feel hungrier than other people do, and less satisfied after eating. This makes it very difficult to lose weight. I provide diabetes information and eduction, and treat diseases of the endocrine glands, such as diabetes, osteoporosis and thyroid conditions.

  • Medication optimisation looks at the value which the medicines deliver, making sure they are clinically-effective and cost-effective. I ensure you get the right choice of medicines, at the right time, and you are engaged throughout the process. My goal is to improve your outcomes, and avoid taking unnecessary medicines.

  • My approach makes it easier for men to talk about and understand their own health needs. I help guide you towards a healthier lifestyle and teach you to avoid health problems that typically affect men, such as heart conditions, high blood pressure, sexual health, prostate concerns, and mental health.

  • I provide Preventative Healthcare through health screenings as well as medical advice, health counselling and other measures to avoid or reduce the development of preventable diseases, conditions, injury and illness whilst encouraging the promotion and maintenance of good health.

  • I support you to make decisions about your reproductive and sexual health and well-being that are right for you. I provide extensive sexual and reproductive health services, including pregnancy options, sexual health screening, and contraceptive advice and prescriptions.

  • I provide travel consultations to assist you with your overseas travels. I can help ensure you get the correct travel vaccinations and advice to help prevent avoidable illnesses such as, yellow fever, polio, diphtheria, cholera, typhoid, tuberculosis, and even chickenpox. I recommend travel consultations 4-6 weeks prior to travel, however you can still benefit from a consultation closer to travelling.
