Do you know any good allied health specialists in Brisbane?

I may as well kill 5 birds with one stone. I need (/want) a dietician, an acupuncturist, a dermatologist, an allergist, and a remedial or shiatsu masseur. Know any good ones? Brisbane, Australia. (Yes—I am trying to make the most of my health insurance.)

Notes:

• I live in the Indooroopilly area, but I don't mind travelling.
• I don't have any particularly major health problems, I'd just like to take care of a few mild-moderate issues as well as improve/maintain my health in certain areas.
• It'd be wonderful to know why you are making your recommendation, if you are so inclined. (e.g., is the doctor super clever, really nice, or surprisingly affordable?)

Dermatologist - Dr Jenny Byth, Wesley Medical Centre, Auchenflower. Fixed my acne when I was 16, earned my eternal gratitude, and I still see her 20 years later for skin cancer checks. Plus she has beautiful skin which I always think is a good advertisement. She's in the phone book.

Acupuncturist - Cecelia Yeung, Adelaide St, City. Pulled me up from the depths of a truly dreadful work-related bout of exhaustion, anxiety and misery. She's also a physio and helped fixed my crook lower back. A friend who was treated for depression recommended her to me and I reckon it's one of the best recommendations I've *ever* received. 3229 0028.

For max health insurance massage bang per buck, I used to go Ten O Min in Rowes arcade, cos they'll see you for 30 mins and they do great shiatsu. Phone ahead to make an appointment and let them know you need a receipt for your health insurance. 3221 5288.

Sorry I can't help with an allergist or dietitian.
