A weekend well spent learning, so I can continue providing the best care for my patients. 💙

This weekend I had the opportunity to complete a Skin Excision Surgical Refresher Course with the fantastic team at DermEx.

Medicine is always evolving, and I believe that ongoing education is one of the most important ways I can ensure my patients receive safe, evidence-based, high-quality care. It was a wonderful, hands-on weekend filled with practical learning, great discussions, and plenty of surgical skills practice.

With Queensland’s high rates of skin cancer, regular skin checks are so important. Early detection can make all the difference.

If you’ve noticed a new or changing spot, or it’s simply been a while since your last skin check, now is the perfect time to book an appointment.

☀️ Your skin is worth checking.

✨ Meet Dr Alex ✨

We’re so excited to officially welcome Dr Alex to the Cascades Medical & Aesthetics family! 💙 She will be doing aesthetics treatments on a Wednesday at Cascades 💉

Originally from London but proudly calling Cairns home for the past 8 years, Dr Alex brings a warm, thoughtful approach to aesthetic medicine and a genuine passion for helping people feel confident in their own skin.

She believes the best aesthetic outcomes come from combining medical knowledge, precision and an artistic eye—creating natural, personalised results that enhance your unique features, never change who you are.

When she’s not in clinic, you’ll find her enjoying yoga, hiking with her husband and their much-loved fur baby Louis, or searching for another great Australian coffee! ☕🐾

At Cascades, we share the belief that every patient deserves the time to feel heard, understood and empowered to make informed decisions about their care. We’re so grateful to have Dr Alex join our team and can’t wait for you to meet her.

Please join us in giving Dr Alex a warm Cascades welcome! 💐

💙 Appointments are now available.

FREE 60 min initial aesthetics consultation for a thorough assessment and treatment planning in July & August

📞 Call the clinic or book online to meet Dr Alex and start your aesthetic journey.

✨ ABOUT THE DOCTORS ✨

Dr Stephanie Barnard
MBBS, FRACGP, DRANZCOG, DCH
AHPRA: MED0001677838

Behind every doctor is a real person… so I thought it was time to introduce myself beyond the stethoscope! 💚

A few fun facts about me:

💦 I absolutely love waterskiing.
🏋️‍♀️ CrossFit is my happy place.
🏃‍♀️ I’m trying to become someone who loves running… the jury is still out! 😂
💗 Pink will always be my favourite colour.
🌴 I’m a proud Cairns local through and through (I even grew up in Gordonvale!).

But more importantly…

When I opened Cascades Medical & Aesthetics, I wanted to create the kind of clinic I would want for my own family.

A place where patients feel heard.
A place where appointments aren’t rushed.
A place where you leave feeling empowered, informed and confident that your doctor is genuinely on your team.

Healthcare shouldn’t feel like a race against the clock. That’s why we’ve built Cascades around longer consultations, meaningful conversations and personalised care.

Whether you’ve been with us since day one or are thinking about booking your first appointment, thank you for trusting me to be part of your healthcare journey. It truly is a privilege. 💚
