They show you to a little room where you get nekkid and throw in a black tissue-paper robe that makes you look like some kind of massage ninja and then you step into the magic room and a lady tells you different ways to stand while a robot with x-ray vision perves on you and takes happy snaps. Then you sit in the waiting room like a blue-walled purgatory for your results, and cough up some cash and ideally a Medicare card, because they don't bulk bill and aren't a member of HICAPS.

They asked when I was free to come in, I said I'm 10 minutes away, is there any chance I could come in now? They helpfully said they could probably squeeze me in. I got there quick smart, and they did indeed fit me in. That meant I didn't have to book another appointment, and didn't have to take any more time off work. Nice!

He is also a general surgeon and will carry out minor procedures when needed. It is usually quite easy to get an appointment with him and he is generally quite prompt. He is willing to consult face to face which is useful, even in these Covid dominated times. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

During visiting therapy, she connects with you,and treats you more like a friend than a doctor.

For many years she would bulk bill me, until eventually I paid the diferrence.

Thinking of having a baby? Well this is the place to have it (from a guy's perspective that is)…read more And, if I had my time again, it's probably where I would like to be born. There are rooms where partners can stay with new born, the food is good (yes, I did steal the odd morsel from the plate of my recovering wife), and the nurses and general staff are informative, caring and helpful. Mum can attend a swag of classes while she is held up there: baby washing, breast feeding, managing baby sleep, etc. The hospital itself is clean and modern with a couple of coffee shops too. One of the highlights that the maternity ward puts on is a twice a week High Tea for visiting families to spend time with mum and baby. It's a smorgasbord of cakes, pastries finger sandwiches and hot canapés with decent coffee and tea served on china. Best of all, on your last night you can have a date night and leave the hospital while baby is looked after by one of the midwives in the nursery. Tip: If you don't like the room you are in, ask if there is a better one. Chances are that (especially if you are polite to the nurses and staff), you will get a better one once someone has checked out.

Prince of Wales, Endoscopy at the Billington Centre: I'm guessing it's pretty obvious what you'd be…read moregoing to this particular department for and, yes, you need a referral from your gp. My visit here was very positive! The directions were easy to follow but if you need assistance finding your way, every staff member is happy to help you and very friendly. From the Barker Street entrance just follow the purple path to the elevator, go to the 2nd floor and continue on until you see the sign that says Billington Centre. Easy peasy. Sheree schedules appointments and also checks you in upon arrival. Due to Covid, scheduling was dramatically impacted so I'm guessing Sheree fielded lots of frantic or distressed people wanting to know when they could schedule their procedure. Sheree is friendly and professional and helpful and calm(!). I applaud her and thank her! This unit has several nurses and members of staff, all kind and friendly. Stephen Butler!!! I don't know if I kept him laughing or if he kept me laughing but, I can not thank him enough for his professionalism, friendliness, too. Gareth and Stephen have a fantastic rapport with each other and it radiates to everyone else. Gareth gave me my post-procedure information and instructions, also answered my questions and another friendly face of this unit. Dr Sorayya is the anaesthetists' intern who explained everything, what to expect, and answered all my questions. Naturally, each member of this well coordinated team followed up with me afterwards, making sure I was doing alright. I was pleasantly surprised to have a follow up phone call from Stephen the day after my procedure. The teamwork and professionalism exhibited deserve kudos to every member of this team and of the unit as well as the Billington Centre. Turns what might be an unpleasant experience into a better experience. Thank you Billington Centre and even bigger thank you to Stephen Butler and Gareth (nurses), Sheree and Sorayya.

Is it legit if I review this joint as a visitor, not a patient? Because I'm going for it man. I'm…read morefreaking going for it. One of my very close friends (hi Sal!) just punched out a baby (hi Raphael!) and, until I can find him a red eyemask and a pair of sai as a welcome to the world gift, I swung by P.O.W. Private for a visit. For such a monolithic complex it's remarkably easy & straightforward to park, navigate and get where you're going. From car to kisses was about 3 minutes, with a 1 minute break to help a blind man out the front of the sliding doors find a bench to sit down on. The rooms are clean, well-appointed, the nurses nicely starched, and everything had an air of well-looked-after-ness. In place of the jello and custard my patient event had a fresh chicken salad sitting in her food table - hospital vittles have come a long way. Even got to see a bit of boob in the new baby feeding room. Of course, I'm sure they're paying for the privilege, but still. Schmick.
