Our Family Medical Centre "Aqua Marine Medical Centre & Skin Clinic" was created, when Dr Ma
rina was working in Rural Victoria away from her husband for nearly 18 months. This lead to her husband, Gotthard, selling his own business to make time to engage with the planning and running of the Aqua Marine Medical Centre & Skin Clinic. Everything started out of the back of our garage, with lots of files, papers and ideas, and slowly became our project in Redland Bay, Queensland, where the clinic is open with Dr Marina and Dr Rad taking care of our loyal patient base. Here is Dr Marina's personal story :
Dr. Marina
I was born in the South part of Russia, situated near the Volga River close to former Stalingrad (current Volgograd). The city is called Balakovo. My parents were both medical doctors, very hardworking and constantly busy. My little sister and myself hardly saw our parents and were missing them a lot while they were saving other people’s lives. My Mum would be often called at night after being at work for 10-12 hours during the day. She would forget her own needs and would help everybody in need of medical assistance. My mother was very much loved in our town where most people knew her and were her patients. She was terribly missed after she was tragically killed in the car accident when I was 12 years of age. I had to grow up very quickly after this tragedy and help also with the upbringing of my younger sister. My admiration of my mum’s ability to help other people made my goal of becoming a doctor stronger than ever. I was very fortunate being surrounded by my grandparents (my Mum’s parents) who gave me all their love and support to make my dreams come true. Grandfather was a retired General in the Russian Army who taught me discipline and responsibilities and my amazing and loving Grandmother who showed me what unconditional love and support means. Without their love and dedication, I wouldn’t be who I am now. Eventually the little girl’s dream came true and I became a Medical Doctor specializing in General Medicine specialty Dermatology and Specialist in Sexual Transmitted Diseases. I could also save somebodies life like my Mum as my Hero many years ago. But little girl also had a dream of meeting her Prince and having a family. This dream did not make me waiting for too long and I met Gotthard who was originally from Germany and had been living in Australia for many years at that time. Migrating to Australia was a challenging journey with five years going through recognition of my Russian Medical Degree and another five years of becoming a Fellow in General Medicine with a special interest in Skin conditions/ Skin cancer surgery and Cosmetic medicine. Ten years of extremely hard work and enormous frustration and desperation with lots of tears when I would fail the English exam or Medical exam during my recognition or after passing all exams struggling to find a job as a doctor in Australia made me very strong. My first job as doctor in Australia took me to rural Victoria, where I lived apart from my husband for nearly 18 months. To keep the family together Gotthard would fly every month to spend some time with me and our child. Eventually I had an opportunity to return back to Queensland and start working in Maryborough with having another baby on board. I only could succeed with all this thinking about my Hero Mum with her exceptional hard work and the determination I was taught by my Grandfather with the ability to be loved unconditionally by my Grandmother. I cannot be more grateful to my husband Gotthard for his massive support and belief in me. His and our kids love and support took me to the stage where I am now, having my own clinic with amazing administrative staff, nurses and doctors I have the honor and privilege to work with at Aqua Marine Medical Centre & Skin Clinic. For a Healthier you my family and “Aqua Marine Medical center and Skin clinic“ is diligent to save your lives!!!! Meet Dr. Rad

In 2013 Dr Rad and his wife moved to Australia where he started to work in Mackay, Queensland as a General Practitioner with a special interest in Skin Cancer and Varicose Vein Sclerotherapy. In 2018 Dr Rad achieved the highest qualification as General Practitioner and became a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners after the exams were passed during the first attempt. Dr Rad continued with his post graduate training and was granted a Master of Medicine degree in SKIN CANCER from the University of Queensland in 2019. During his skin cancer master training he achieved Dean’s commendation of academic excellence for his performance. Dr Rad has one of the lowest “number needed to be treated” for skin cancer among his peers which reflects his accuracy in the diagnosis of skin cancers, and is quite experienced in surgical management of complex head and neck skin cancers.
