Dr Melanie Sung
MBBS (Hons), RACGP, ASUM Certified
‘Aesthetic and medical excellence’
- Dr Mei-Jo (Melanie) Sung is committed to the gold standard of treatment for varicose vein conditions in “the bush capital” of Canberra.
- Melanie has a special interest in varicose veins, spider veins, lymphoedema, venous eczema and venous leg ulcers.
- She uses the latest and safest non-surgical, minimally-invasive technology to achieve optimal outcomes – both medically and aesthetically – for her patients.
Melanie was the first doctor in Australia to introduce the latest treatment technology, VENCLOSE™ RF Ablation System (approved by TGA) to her patients. - She is also one of the few female doctors to undertake formal training in phlebology with the Australasian College of Phlebology (ACP) – the formal medical training provider in the treatment of venous diseases in Australia and New Zealand.
- Working in private practice has given Melanie a good understanding of the current local issues that patients face in seeking specialist care for their vein conditions; and her greatest passion is to establish a locally based service in Canberra that is readily accessible to Canberrans and people from the surrounding regions in NSW.
- Melanie regularly attends conferences and meetings held by AP and overseas organisations and has been mentored by some of the leading lights of vascular surgery and phlebology in Australia.
- She is also a clinical supervisor affiliated with ANU for training medical students and with the RACGP as a clinical supervisor.
- As a cancer patient herself (thyroid), Melanie understands the difficulties of navigating a complex or chronic health condition, and has a compassionate, friendly and empathic bedside approach to all her patients.
Outside of her clinic, Melanie enjoys music, traveling and is passionate skier. She lives in Canberra with her husband and her daughter.Dr Melanie Sung’s Conditions and procedures
