The Canowindra Medical Practice is pleased to advise the public and surrounding areas of Canowindra that they are now able to take on new patients. The Medical Practice is open five days a week from 9-5, Monday to Friday. The Medical Practice welcomed a new
doctor, Dr Sheikh, who will now be coming on Wednesdays. Dr Padma Madduru is available from Monday to Friday, Dr Ramana Kaipu is available on Thursdays and Fridays, Dr Cradock on Mondays and Dr Karu on Thursday and Friday.
With a long history in the medical profession, owner Dr Kaipu provides a number of services to Canowindra. “We do women’s health, men’s health, skin check-ups, dermatology, as well as all other general health and minor surgeries,” said Ramana. A common vaccine to consider getting at the moment is Q fever. “This is a common vaccine that farmers or people who are in contact with animals usually get,” said Dr Kaipu.
