The pharmacy adjoins the Norwood Village Medical & Dental Clinic and would imagine most business would come from there. Access is from either the clinic or the footpath. I only had to wait in line for a minute and upon submitting my prescription request the lady behind the counter was very polite and welcoming. While waiting for the script to be made another customer was called to collect his script and she was lovely to him too. There were a couple of chairs while waiting although I wasn't waiting long, and when I was called by the pharmacist payment was made easy with the Pay Wave. The pharmacist noticed my limited voice due to pharyngitis and sent me on my way with good wishes. Parking was the only issue and being on The Parade at Norwood is busy so one must expect to park a little further and walk.

I would have selected 4 stars because Noarlunga hasn't been too bad a hospital when we have had the…read moremisfortune of having to go there but I just can't because you don't visit hospitals for positive reasons so it's hard to rate them higher. However, their wait times have not been as bad other hospitals I have been to in A & E. Note that they do not have any Paediatric facilities here so if you have a young child you may as well just go straight to Flinders as they will probably send you there anyway. We only had this occur once with our youngest but FMC then also sent us to WCH so it really wouldn't have mattered anyway. Grrr...... On a good note though I always go to the hospital if I need to have a blood test. Their hours are better for working people to fit into and their staff are much better trained and heaps better able to deal with kids fighting it every step of the way. Plus you never have to wait long. In addition a few years back to assist in getting the wait lists down for surgeries Noarlunga Hospital assisted FMC with some of their not high risk surgeries. So I got a call and only about 4 days later my son got his tonsils out. We had been on FMC wait list for over a year and he had it constantly. The staff were great with him and I was allowed to stay as well. Great to have this facility so close to home. Makes me feel a little less panicked somehow to at least be close to help if you need it. Just hope you never have to be in A & E here on election night...............worst experience ever! But not the hospitals fault so they lose no points on that one.

Do not come here for antenatal care. This one start review is based soley on the antenatal care I…read morereceived so don't judge the rest of the hospital on just this although after the experience I've had I lack trust with the entire thing. I ended up changing to flinders even though it's much harder for me to get there that's how bad this was. I never got to see the same midwife more than once, they were all horrible and didn't listen to a word I said when I was voicing my concerns and trying to inform them of my birth plan etc, they filled out all the information on my forms wrong, they neglected to measure my baby at visits which they should have been doing, lost my blood test results more than once so I kept having to have the same one. It was terrible all round and they failed to give me the information they should have and as a result I missed out on the natural birthing centre which would have been perfect for me and my baby. Flinders are so much better I highly recommend them.

As I've previously mentioned, I've gone to the West Lakes Medical Centre ever since I was a kid, so…read moreI've had my fair share of seeing the doctors. Dr. Middleton is usually the doctor I see when I'm there. He's quick and straight to the point. It's funny how the two male doctors there are complete opposites. Just as good as each other, but very different. You can book an appointment or just walk in and you will probably be able to see Dr. Middleton not too long after. If you're going just to get a doctors certificate or a prescription of medicine you will be out in 5 minutes with Dr. Middleton. He really is that quick. Don't get me wrong though, just because he's quick it doesn't mean he's not good.

This is a great place if you have to go to the doctor. They have about a dozen doctors on duty and…read moreonce you find out the ones you like it is much better. They have extended opening hours which is fantastic so you don't have to take time off work to get an appointment all the time. I've always been given referrals for any family member to really good places as well. Usually they will bulk bill which heaps of places don't do anymore so if someone gets sick the day before pay day it's not a problem. They have a nurse on duty most of the time if you need. They have other more specialised services they offer such as some sports stuff, psychologists, weight management and laser hair removal. they also have a pharmacy in the same complex so you can get your prescriptions filled before you leave. Best features are the definitely the bulk billing, the extended opening hours and their after hours locum service (BEST thing ever is you have really sick kids - the doc comes to you and all the details are still kept on their same files). Usually you do need an appointment nowadays but if it is urgent and you just drop in they can usually work something out.

This is a great service....especially if you have children and need a doctor's appointment sooner…read morerather than later. If it is a more urgent appointment that you need, tell them. They will either get you in sooner or direct you to another service if needed. If you don't mind seeing a different doctor every time (which I don't unless it's an ongoing health issue) you can usually get in to see someone that day. After so many visits there, and so many doctors, I have to say that all the staff have been helpful, patient and kind. They are now my first phone call when I need medical help. Their extra late opening hours are great! *Bulk billing*

Conveniently located just off South Rd above Sir Donald Bradman, the office is not much to look at but the service inside is excellent. A friend once forgot her appointment there and he called her after she didn't show up 10 minutes later and because she promised to be right there, he kept his appointment with her and moved the schedule around to accommodate her forgetfulness. And for a business in the medical and health industry which is not often known for its compassion in cases of human error, this was a great display of his high quality service. The only bad thing is the consulting rooms share a wall with the busy chemist next door. I don't know when the building was built but they must have made paper thin walls because you can hear all of the happenings in the Chemist! Annoying, but tolerable I suppose.

Being a nonprofit organisation, the Centre receives funding from the government and often get funding relies heavily on donations and fundraising activities. Some of the services they provide include counselling, support groups, therapies, exercise, workshops and an excellent resource centre. From someone who has lost a loved one to cancer, I think the work and support they are giving to the community and cancer patients is commendable.

I've seen all the doctors here at least a few times for different reasons, and they've all been nothing short of great. The customer service is also very much appreciated. For as long as I can remember it's always been the same lady working at the reception desk and she's always been friendly and helpful, and she even recognises me when I call and book an appointment over the phone. What a memory! I rate this medical centre with two thumbs up!

Luckily as I only lived up the road in a residential college, it was a short walk but I still remember it being a long one as I was so weak! The centre is appointment only but I was able to get in on the same day I fell ill so just give them a call and try your luck. The appointments cannot be bulk billed and are around the $100.00 mark. There is of course the margin you can get back from Medicare, so don't forget to save all of the receipts. The offices are very clean and professional. At the time I was seriously sick and the doctor was knowledgeable and thorough during my examination and asked a lot of questions regarding my state. Generally, I wouldn't go for somewhere that is bulk billed, however it was an emergency and I was happy with the service I received.
