Specialist Physician Consultation

Dr Zaraina Solomons is compassionate and kind. She provides the opportunity for a relaxed and comprehensive consultation with patients that will further assess complex issues a GP is unable to solve. Dr Solomons diagnoses and treats both common and complex illnesses and injuries in adults, including digestive issues, endocrine system diseases, and long-term chronic illnesses such as Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. She offers in-hospital consultations, overseeing patients care while they are in hospital.

During a consultation at her practice, a patient’s full medical history is taken and a physical examination is conducted, including weight, blood pressure and heart rate. Dr Solomons uses her resources, training and experience to select appropriate tests, if required. Based on the results she will diagnose and then treat her patients according to what their condition demands. Treatment may include home remedies, lifestyle changes, medication therapies or surgical interventions.

Dr Solomons believes in staying up-to-date with the latest in treatments and research in order to dispense the best patient care possible. During the consultation we discuss, and we look at each patient’s lifestyle choices and behaviours including eating habits, sleeping patterns, stress from work demands, relationships with family and friends, as well as such as sexual health, alcohol consumption, smoking, drug use and fitness or activity levels. These risk factors are reviewed to see if they are negatively affecting the patient and contributing to their ill health. Dr Solomons offers patient education and counselling such as immunizations and cancer screenings, as well as lifestyle advice. This supports positive adjustments in the long term behaviour of patients and promotes better overall wellbeing. Once healed, patients experience better quality of life going forward and lower they their future healthcare costs.

If a patient requires treatment from another specialist such as an oncologist or cardiologist, Dr Solomons offers multi-disciplinary referrals. Dr Solomons has a real love for her community and patients. Dr Solomons also educates future doctors and wants to assist in making positive changes to the Melomed family.
