Welcome! Hi, I'm Tanya 👋
Dr Tanya McGhee: General Practitioner
Your family-friendly female Cairns GP (with no out of pocket costs, woop!)
About you!
You want a doctor who actually listens to you.
You don’t want have to wait 3 weeks to get an appointment. Sometimes, you just want a specialist referral. You want someone who gets kids and is kind and understands when you’re worried.
Plus, you’d like to not have to fork out a heap because things are tough at the mo, right?
I understand. I’ll listen. I have new patient appointments available within 3 days and yes, all Medicare card holders are bulk billed. Yay 😊
Come and see me!
Our lovely practice manager Amanda, super duper friendly receptionist Kristy and kind nurse Evan will take care of you.
Give us a CALL and we’ll see you soon!
About me
Hi! I'm Tanya. I graduated from medicine in 2003, from the University of Otago, New Zealand. I moved to Cairns in 2006 to become a specialist General Practitioner. I also have a Master of Counselling so I'm not afraid to hear all your messy "arrrghh" feelings!
I have advanced training in psychological services. I’m also a trained Circle Of Security facilitator. COS is an international organisation who promote attachment based parenting.
Outside of work, I like to run, hang out with my three kidlets, my husband and our crazy dog.
I love being a Cairns GP and I would be delighted to see you and your family for all your day to day health needs.
