    They are unprofessional. Every time i go there they are late, one time i even saw the dr walking in…read moreand out of his office just chatting to the receptionist about personal matters, whilst they had a full room of patients just waiting. Which is really rude seeing as my appointment with him was already 20 minutes late. I also got a blood test there. The Doctor said i should do a RAST test. Me not being a doctor asked what it was, he explained it was for allergies. I said will it effect my ability to claim my 3 free medicare checks for food allergies as i already know what allergies i have, he said no. I said well still i know that i am allergic to dustmites is it necessary? He said yes lets do it. So yes now i will have to pay $75 for my food allergy tests because not only is he incompetent he is also a liar. And what do you know i am still allergic to dustmites thanks Dr Dips**t. IF you VALUE your health under no circumstances should you go hear. AVOID THIS PRACTISE.

    On Friday the 24th of April, I called to make an appointment, and was very clear that I had…read moremultiple issues I needed to discuss. They booked me in for 9:40am on the 25th, for what I understood to be an extended appointment. I went in, and saw a doctor who didn't bother to introduce himself (He was Caucasian, short balding hair and had an accent.) He asked me why I was there, and I started with my most pressing problem... an injured back which had caused me to fly home from a holiday a month early. I needed to be diagnosed and treated, but also I needed a letter for insurance purposes (Not for medical treatment, but for flight changes I paid for out of pocket). I immediately sensed a shift in his attitude, and I felt like he was calling me a scam artist or something. I distinctly felt "judged". Without me even lifting my shirt, he told me it was just muscular, and an insurance company would never pay for it. He did not know who my insurer was, nor had he even done anything more than make a snap judgment on my condition. He had me stand up, and show him my range of movement. I bent forward, backwards, and side to side. I assure you, there wasn't much range. Maybe 20% of what I normally enjoy. He said "I have a good range of movement". Maybe if I was 80... In any case, the move that most aggravated my back was any twisting motion. (Even rolling over in bed proved painful). He didn't check that range of motion. In fact, he still hadn't even asked me where the pain was, or touched the affected area at this point. When I brought that to his attention, he said "I assume this is lower back pain?". It wasn't. It was mid back. He finally inspected the area closer, and stuck to his guns, saying it was "just" muscular. I told him I didn't really care whether I had a broken spine or a sore back - I just needed a doctor to say that it was injured and how, so I could present it to the insurance company as requested. Reluctantly, he typed up a wishy washy letter, printed it out, folded it, and told me I'd have to give the girl at the front desk $50. When I enquired as to why, he said "Medicare doesn't cover insurance claims". I have no idea if there's any truth to this, but I was 5 minutes into a 10 minute appointment. I told him that I had other issues to discuss, to which he replied "you didn't make a double appointment". First of all, I did. Secondly, I actually didn't need to... there was time left in my STANDARD appointment. Thirdly, if a fee was due for the "insurance letter", he should have let me know that BEFORE writing it. Lastly, at no point did he offer me any TREATMENT advice. In the end, I angrily walked out. The standard of medical "care" he provided was atrocious, and the abuse of Medicare was too - Appointment times are 10 minutes, and he tried to hustle me out the door after 5. His bedside manner was appalling, and I could have been forgiven for thinking he was on the payroll of various insurance companies. He seemed more interested in protecting them than treating me. Absolute Scam.

    What can I say? No one 'wants' to be in hospital but…read more..... Where to start...parking. Yes there is parking. Yes you pay for the privilege to park, and they are not shy about their fees! At least they have a garage so that's something. Just my opinion but, the parking needs to be improved. A lot. Getting in and out of the car park is akin to a juggling act on a trapeze. Terrible and dangerous and whoever designed it should be ashamed......as should the powers that be that approved it. The fees are exorbitant, in my opinion, so if you're on a tight budget, think twice. *This is my only complaint thus, deducted 1star. The public and private facilities are adjacent to each other even though your gps might show you two separate addresses. I don't want to sound like I'm gushing here but, as hospital experiences go, this was excellent! Really! The lobby and reception areas are clean, bright and friendly staff. The day surgery waiting area is light, has chair seating and usually runs like a well oiled machine. Friendly staff members understand you're there for a procedure and probably nervous...and they are friendly and smiling and make it a little better, as smiles do! Once ready for procedure, while it can be redundant they asked several times pertinent questions, which was great because I had concerns that they helped to alleviate somewhat. Fast forward to an overnight recovery and the nurses are incredible, friendly and caring. 'My' nurses included Michelle and DJ. To be honest, they deserve kudos on every level! The food was better than hospital food, better than airplane food and I want to give credit where credit is due....but don't expect it to be 5star restaurant quality because you'll be disappointed. All in all, as hospital stays go, St Vincent's is really wonderful! Runs like a well oiled machine, clean and beautiful, and more importantly to me, excellent staff members, non-medical and medical. If they can improve anything, it would be the car park.
