They certainly should but any excuse to keep our hard earned money in their hands they will endeavour to find Nevertheless the service I received during a very busy day was outstanding. Since my problem was orthopaedic and there is a Sports Injury / Orthopaedic Clinic on site when I was eventually seen by the ED doctor I was quickly referred to the right folk. Again this is a busy place and not all the patients were as tolerant as they should be. Regardless all the staff were kind, courteous, compassionate and professional. The clinical education and treatment was outstanding. So if you have $380 and want top quality care it's worth the cost. But do be nice to the staff. And remember they will be patients there alot sicker than you.

(sad grimacing in pain face) Ooohh....ohhh...yesss!! You got me there! That's a hole in one! Haha! I'm loose and Happy! So, I'm guilty....I accidentally injured my back...as you can see from my stumbling entrance through your red door. Dr. Craig has seen me many times before so he knew how I did it too, and knew exactly how to fix it back all into place. Dr. Craig knows EXACTLY how to fix all your back, neck, joints and posture problems (everyone - this guy is fixes your back with the snap of his fingers, literally, I'm not even joking). Honestly, this is the most effective, quickest, and intelligent chiropractor I have ever met. It's been over 6 weeks since I last saw him and I'm still enjoying a much more flexible and injury-free back! The room always has the right temperature, comfortable, and you get a free smile, and a good laugh from both the receptionist and the chiropractor himself. Another thing I love about this place is that if you are running low on credit or cash, they can bill you for later. But make sure you can pay them when they post the delayed bill out to you, though. (Really? Only $29 for 5 minutes of treatment? Note: if you're willing to pay for it, it's cheaper for those that having private medical cover!) ...And they offer massages in the other rooms...maybe if they had one or two more new hot-looking massage therapists I would make this my new hobby! Dr. Craig is so cool to his regulars that we even talk about what we like to do outside of work, as I tell him all about my love for sports and injuring my back every few months....thus giving him a job to do...cause he's not complaining! I don't think I've met any other "allied health" clinic that makes me feel as comfortable and open as I do here. Ever since the day I first came here, I have made appointments here a regular thing. So, what are you waiting for? Get out of your computer chair, make a call, because your body needs it. I dare any nearby yelpers to recommend a better place for chiropractic treatment. If so, please let me know, as I suffer from frequent back injuries. Thanks :)

Mawson Lakes Chiropractor is local to me, so when I start to feel that inevitable back twinge from one too many break falls this is where I'll go. I know a lot of people have mixed opinions on chiropractors, but it works for me. That's all I can really say about it. I go, I get my back set again and I feel fine. Maybe all of those other nay sayers aren't seeing a good chiro, because Dr Craig is a damn good chiro. As well as chiropractic care he offers advice on exercises you can do at home to maintain your back. He is an expert on exercise and how to stay healthy. He's helped me a lot. If you were a sceptic before then try out this place. You'll walk out of here a believer...

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.

They pride…read morethemselves on their knowledge, experience and commitment, and thankfully their professionalism suggests as such. The doctors are good however they're also good at the other clinics that I have visited, and unfortunately at Fountain Corner you are required to pay a larger fee when in comparison. Having said this, the doctors here are probably above average and I do think when it comes to health Fountain Corner is an appropriate and efficient clinic. Overall Fountain Corner is a nice and friendly practice, which can be found on Unley Road. With a fairly nice vibe attached to the environment here it's a pleasant experience, however just a little pricier than your standard fully bulk billed doc.

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.

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*

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.

We have seen three GPs thus far and they have all been lovely but the particular GP we book in with is Lesley Blimkie as she is thorough, has a kooky and great sense of humor, excellent clinical judgement and is fantastic and patient with kids. All the qualities I was looking for in my search for a GP when we moved down south. This is why I give this practice 5 stars :) The admin staff are always pleasant and helpful and you are always greeted with a smile. Such a change from the previous practice I attended closer to the CBD. I always love service with a smile, and who doesn't really?! Plus they bulk bill for all children under 10. There is also a dietician and a practice nurse and a plethora of services offered so please refer to their website as there is too many to list. While you wait, peruse through the diverse range of up-to-date magazines while listening to the calming instrumental music playing in the background. Great children's play area with a great selection of toys and it is always clean. There is room to park your prams or wheelchairs too. Ample parking on site. In the busy months, some of the GPs at Wellbeing McLaren sometimes close their books for new patients, so if you are in search of a GP and live up this way, book in with them now so you can get in as a new patient. This is by far one of the best GP clinics I have been to because the staff are friendly and it is evident that they take pride in their practice as it always looks clean and well presented.
