My regular doctor is here, and I've come to enjoy the holistic service approach of this all-in-one almost-hospital. This place has general practices, psychiatrists, a medical imaging area, nutritionist, dentist, chiropractor, physiotherapist, chemist and nurses who lovingly jab you with needles when you require a blood test or shot.They bulk bill in this bizarre parallel universe way of "pay thirty dollars" and "send us the medicare cheque you get in the mail" which makes me think I'm being diddled in some way, and I don't understand it. But the front-of-house staff are so charming that well, who cares, because the services are always done well, from the psychiatrist who told me "not to worry" about the parallel universe bulk-billing, to the CT technician who scanned my brain and told me that I shouldn't worry about the bizarre bulk-billing paradigm. And my usual doctor (and no I'm not going to let the world know in case someone steals my identity) is calm, methodical and has on occasion ventured the correct second opinion when I've been told to go to the Sydney Melanoma Clinic for a skin blemish which wasn't cancer, thus saving me the paranoia. What I'm saying is that he was right, and he wasn't afraid to provide the correct duty of care which was to tell me the right thing, rather than sending me off to a referral to somewhere because of some legal "what if I'm wrong and he sues me" thing. Thats why I like my doctor, and why I like this place.
You absolutely do not need an appointment for this place, I have never ever booked an appointment to see my doctor, and have never had to wait more than half an hour to see my usual doctor. read more
