Twinkle Centre featured in The Sun

The Twinkle Family Centre has a special interest in chilren but caters to all members of the family. The clinic opened two years ago and provides general medical practice, physiotherapy, psychology/counselling, dietitian and acupuncture services. Twinkle Family Centre doctor Elliott Fang is also qualified in acupuncture. Dr Fang said the good thing about being both a qualified doctor and an acupuncturist was that patients could be treated through the Medicare rebate. He daid acupuncture was a great tool to treat patients as it added a different dimension to the medical practice to help relieve symptoms and provide treatment.

"When you are being treated by a doctor who is qualified in acupuncture — rather than being treated by an acupuncturist alone — you can be checked and diagnosed to make sure there is no serious underlying problem," Dr Fang said.

The Twinkle Family Centre also has a general practice run by Dr Fang's sister Briana Fang.

She provides general dental services and said she offers "an honest approach".

Dr Fang said she would collaborate and refer patients to a specialist if they needed it.

Both doctor and dentist agreed that patient care was of the utmost importance for any medical practice.

"At the Twinkle Family Centre we aim to run things smoothly behind the scenes to ensure patient safety," Dr Fang said.

"We make certain things are done properly and provide a happy working environment for our staff and our patients," he said.
