Dr Orna Scanlon is a GP (General Practitioner) based in North Ward, Townsville. You’ll find her practice at 34 Gregory Street, North Ward QLD 4810. She works with people of different ages, from kids and families to older adults, and aims to keep healthcare simple and steady.
In day-to-day appointments, Dr Scanlon helps with routine check-ups and health reviews. If you need prescription refills, she can also help organise that. Many visits are for common illnesses, like colds and flu, where you want clear advice on what to do next and when to come back.
She also looks after longer-term health. In many cases, that means helping manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, alongside regular monitoring and practical lifestyle advice. It’s not just about tests and scripts, though. At times, it can be about sorting out what’s worrying you and making a plan you can actually stick to.
When it comes to prevention, Dr Scanlon provides vaccinations. If you’re due for a shot, or you’re not sure what you need, she can talk it through and help you understand the options.
Dr Scanlon completed her medical training and continues with regular professional updates to stay current with everyday general practice care.
