At Walker Street Doctors, we understand that men's health encompasses far more than just physical wellbeing. Our experienced GPs provide comprehensive care tailored to men's unique health needs in a professional, confidential environment.

Advanced cardiovascular screening, including Coronary Calcium Scoring when appropriate - a specialized CT scan that reveals whether high cholesterol is actively affecting your heart health
Dedicated over-75 health assessments, incorporating annual driving medical examinations and overall wellbeing optimization

Your mental health matters, and seeking support is a sign of strength. Our GPs are experienced in supporting men through life's challenges, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, workplace stress, and work-life balance issues. We provide a safe, judgment-free space to discuss any concerns affecting your mental wellbeing.
We can create personalized GP Mental Health Care Plans that give you access to Medicare-rebated sessions with experienced psychologists. Whether you're dealing with specific challenges or simply want to work on becoming your best self, we'll help connect you with the right mental health professional.

We believe that sexual health is an essential part of your overall wellbeing. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common concern that can arise from various causes - whether following prostate surgery, due to psychological factors, or as a sign of underlying health conditions. Our approach is straightforward and professional: these are everyday health matters that deserve proper medical attention.
Remember, your GP has heard it all before. There's no need to lie awake at night worrying when solutions are available. We'd much rather you speak openly with us about your concerns than suffer in silence. Many sexual health issues have straightforward solutions, and seeking help is a sign of self-respect and good judgment.

Our practice provides comprehensive STI testing and treatment in a confidential, non-judgmental environment.
We provide evidence-based treatments for erectile dysfunction and other sexual health concerns in a completely professional environment. Our goal is to help you live your best life, and sometimes that means having frank conversations about sexual health. Taking charge of your sexual health isn't embarrassing - it's the mark of a man who takes his wellbeing seriously.
