Dr Alvin (Wei Lun) Kong graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2015 and joined Blackburn Clinic in 2020. Alvin is drawn to General Practice because it offers the full circle of healthcare, right from childhood all the way through adulthood and the older years. His clinical interests include skin cancer medicine, ear wax micro-suction, tattoo aftercare and ADHD medication management. Outside work he enjoys keeping fit, being a ‘pawrent’ and terrarium / aquascaping.

The patient must be assessed by Dr Kong (or any other GP who consults from Blackburn Clinic) to ensure suitability of ear anatomy and to ensure appropriate ear drop preparation. It will take approximately 15 minutes (one ear) or 30 minutes (both ears). For more details.
Weight Management appointments

Iron Infusions
Dr Kong performs on-site iron infusions for eligible patients (with iron deficiency anaemia). Dr Kong, Dr Ashdown and Dr Rametta perform these appointments but all Blackburn Clinic GPs can authorise the service for their patients where medically appropriate. This model offers considerable savings compared to the traditional day-surgery model (current out of pocket cost after rebates are around $290, or $155 for Concession patients).
