If you live in the southern suburbs and need medical assistance, forget Flinders and the long…read moreawaited queues, which most times will eat into 4 hours ( been there, done that!). Marion Medical Centre came as a pleasing surprise when I was rushed to the hospital by friends after a soccer injury ( read my review on Repat Hospital). Upon surrending my Medicare at reception, I didn't have to wait for my name to be called by the attending physician, instead I was brough immediately into the emergency room and attended by the nurse. The doctor saw me immediately and later I was whisked to the Xray room, whilst the other nurse cared for my sons ( very sweet of them!), and onced the results came out, the doctor saw me again and shared it was a soft tissue injury in absence of a broken arm. Extremely pleased with the service, attentive staff and you don't need to wait long to see the doctor. Perfect for parents with kids especially after office hours and the weekends, should an emergency arise.

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*

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.

The hospital was originally named the Adelaide Military Hospital and was purpose built back in the…read more1940's to serve Australia's returning men and women after serving their duty during the war. It also served an army camp located on Springbank Rd for all medical needs. The services extended to family of those who served in the war as everyone had to cope with the trauma of war physically, mentally and emotionally, so they also assisted with psychological therapy as well as physiotherapy. Nowadays, it still continues to play an important part and has also extended its services to the general public. To go there is like going in amongst an army barracks as that was the style it was modelled on, it's all single story for easy access but it is a horizontal maze. The complex also houses a cafe and a gift shop. It basically offers a specialist service for various medical conditions and patients are accepted via a referral from a GP. The referrals are usually for people who do not have private health cover for treatment, and they do have excellent clinic and xray services for outpatients. I once actually managed to get a referral for some physiotherapy but once they learnt I had private health cover (despite the fact I was technically unemployed), I was dismissed from receiving any more treatment.

Which makes the place a little difficult to find your way around. I have had to attend their Out Patient Department over the past two years and have found the staff most helpful, attentive, and very professional.

Having a medical background and having visited over the years a large number of hospitals, finding this Hospital a pleasure to visit.
