Osteologic Healthcare
My name is Dr. Melissa Bates and I am passionate about your health and wellbeing!In 2008 I opened the first branch of Osteologic Healthcare at the Eltham Leisure Centre. The practice has exceeded expectations in it’s success and reputation, which I believe is the result of working with a dedicated, highly skilled and passionate group of professionals. Outstanding practitioners combined with a unique clinic setting has resulted in a primary healthcare practice that’s sole aim is to provide you with the best health outcomes.
We have recently open a second practice in a similar setting in South Morang and are looking for another exceptional practitioner to join the team
