Detox is a period in which emotions are heightened - yet no helping hand was there when I needed it most. Disappointed and fragile.

And when that point comes you want them to be great. I feel pretty confident I've found that in the team at Market Street Medical. I mean, when was the last time your doctor called you to say your doctor was running late to save you sitting in the waiting room for 30-40mins? Sure, it throws your day out but at least you can do something else in those 30-40mins rather than sit captive reading Country Style or House & Garden. I waited several months to see Dr Maintsone (she's that much of a rockstar she has a hefty waiting list) after recommendation from a friend who, with similar plights to my own, sung her praises. After the first visit with Dr Mainstone I understood why. She's considerate, understanding and sees issues as pieces of a greater puzzle. I feel she's genuinely interested in the health of her patients and I appreciate her commitment to looking at the bigger picture rather than always reaching for a quick fix. It is because of Dr Mainstone I was able, towards the end of 2013, gain some closure and context around a few medical issues and finally not feel like I was the crazy one for talking of such symptoms. They are more expensive than other GPs I've visited and I personally am okay with this for the level of treatment and attention I receive. They process your Medicare claim online in the practice and you'll be amazed how fast that money is back in your piggy bank.

I once went to a doctor that prescribed me anti-histamines when I had pneumonia. As a result I got asthma, and I've been very cautious about choosing a cheap, bulk-billed doctor. Central Brunswick Centre is not bulk-billed, but it is rebated by Medicare, so your average cost for a consultation is about $30. The staff are super friendly and you don't have to wait too long when you book an appointment. When it comes to your health you can never be too careful but I wouldn't trust anywhere else.

Central Brunswick Medical Centre is gay friendly, and the majority of doctors are gay themselves. So a lot of the LGBT community are patients here and can get sexual advice and check ups in a comfortable environment. I'm straight but I come here because the doctors, receptionists and facilities are amazing. I've been to a few doctors here. Ken Koh is very helpful, and when I left the appointment he even called me on his private office line to double check whether or not I'd had certain vaccines. Fiona Bishop is fantastic, and is always on high demand. When I first wanted to come to this clinic she wasn't taking on any new patients, but six months later I somehow managed to weasel my way onto her regular patient's list. She's compassionate, but firm, and made me piss myself when I walked in with a nasty virus and she spent our entire consultation with a face mask on. (I was very contagious.) James Kennedy is a sweetheart and has a lovely Irish accent that will make you forget all of your ails. The nurse is also incredibly kind and considerate. My ears get blocked often so I come here to get them flushed out. Having water flushed into your middle ear isn't exactly pleasant and can leave you feeling nauseous, so the nurse sat and chatted with me while the room stopped spinning. Some important things to note: - You're able to claim most of the bill back through medicare, and the ladies at reception can help you set things up so those returns are paid directly to your account. - There's a pathology clinic down the hall so you can get your tests done in one hit. - If you're catching public transport, this place can be a bit difficult to find. Walk past Grill'd, then past Video Ezy, walk up two flights of stairs and it's straight ahead on your left.

Ahhhhhh, the emergency room. Havens of panic, distress, and ultimately (hopefully) healthy…read moreresolutions. I've frequented this emergency room twice: once for myself, and the other time for my sister when she had pneumonia, and have found the staff there warm and efficient enough considering I'd popped in at busy times. I admitted myself two hours before my graduation ceremony because I was having difficulty breathing and thought I might have contracted an infection from a recent trip to Sydney. Turns out it was only a nasty old panic attack. If you've never been in an emergency room, the actual 'emergency' process begins with entering a cordoned off area, where you describe your symptoms to a nurse. Then you enter the actual emergency ward. In the ward I was attended to by a cute male nurse, who did the regular check ups (blood test, urine). The doctor came after a half hour wait. He was lovely and understanding and gave me the option of getting a chest x-ray now or later (for peace of mind) depending on whether or not I was up for it. I made it to my ceremony in time, but before I left the male nurse gave me his number and told me to call him! My life became Grey's Anatomy for a split second until I remembered I was dating someone at the time.

However grumpy the staff look, they are actually super nice and understanding. (even if you are a half hour late for appointments.) I mainly come here because it is in such a convenient location. Smack bang on Queen st, it is literally a 5 min walk from the mall. The doctor's are friendly, NON-judgemental and have plenty of advice on hand. They also have a handy pathology lab upstairs and offer Bulk billing appointments (for those with health care cards.) If you're feeling poorly in the city these guys will help you get back on track.

We turned up at 8:30pm on a Sunday night with our one year old…read morebaby in tow, as my partner had severe unbearable pain due to a dental infection despite antibiotics and maximum analgesia at home. There was only one doctor on duty, and he was busy with a troublesome patient. The assessment nurse was dismissive of her condition, saying "you just need a dentist". We thought she might need IV antibiotics in the short term, hence the reason for our visit (once again, we are both doctors). We left after waiting to be seen by the doctor for two hours, as our baby was getting hysterical. We think it's pretty pathetic that there was only one doctor on at that time of the night on a weekend, in a very large private hospital. My partner was made to wait for the doctor in another room, leaving me alone with our baby in the reception area. Despite me clearly struggling with an increasingly difficult to handle baby who was getting very upset, the two receptionist staff did absolutely nothing to help me. They were too busy watching TV and pretending to be busy when they were clearly not, and didn't even bother to ask if I needed anything. We will be going to the Wesley hospital private emergency next time, as it is light years ahead in terms of the number of doctors on duty and helpful reception staff..
