I've been in this hospital quite a few times over the years (and several times recently), either to…read morevisit someone else or be a patient myself. The hospital has a new feel to it because it is, relatively - a good decade or so they rearranged and rebuilt the whole complex. I've been in the E.R. (or "triage") a few times (kidneys misbehavin') and it's never fun to be a patient in hospital. However, there are "good" visits where you're seen to quickly and treated well and there are agonizing drawn-out visits where they've run out of beds and you're in the foetal position in a chair. I've experienced both in this hospital in the last two years. If you're ill on a Friday or Saturday night, you won't be seen to in E.R. quickly unless you're in extreme danger as the ward is filled with drunk idiots who've harmed themselves, as well as a few drug addicts who have stumbled into police hands. Generally I find the nurses here to be nice and helpful and the doctors absent-mindedly come and go. Usually during each E.R. visit you can expect to see up to three different doctors, and you have to get them all up to speed on your condition when they first visit. I find this to be a general hospital trend, though (at least in Australia and North America). From a completely different perspective, the pharmacy and the downstairs cafe here rock. I've had the best scones with jam and cream of my life at this cafe and the coffee is excellent, the vibe of the place funky. The last time I was here I noticed the cafe was closed, so I hope they're not shutting it down in favour of the new-ish large food court upstairs (though that's not bad food, either.) Also, the chemist here sells the best local artistic jewellery I've seen in Brisbane. The earrings in the $10-$20 range are fantastic; each is uniquely hand-crafted and the beads/stones are beautiful. Yep, the RBWH is my favourite jewellery store.

As a patient with a cronic back issue I have the unenviable pleasure of having to attend to the ER…read moreon a regular basis. For the most part the staff are as helpful as they can be with someone with a chronic issue . Keeping in mind that this is a public hospital some of the nurses tend to treat chronic issues with disregard and disrespect. If you have the opportunity I would suggest going to another hospital as the RWBH has staff who can be rude and make you only feel worse then you did prior to coming in. A possible cause is it's proximity to the Valley night club district and they have seen their fare share of drug O/Ds and drunk lads passed out. My suggestion to any staff member in any occupation is that if you find that you can no longer do your job with respect and professionalism it's time to find a new career path.

Back when I was living at home, this was my go-to GP and I always found it to be a pretty good. My…read moreonly complaint would be that I am to the only one who thinks so as this place can get a little crowded. All the doctors that have I have consulted have been very helpful and efficient; I know I can trust their judgement. The waiting time can be pretty average, usually I have waited about half an hour to be served, I consider this to be the norm. And now onto the only downside I can think of- it can be hard to make an appointment sometimes due to how popular tho place is. It is not often possible to see a doctor the day you call, I usually had to make an appointment for 2 or 3 days after the day I called them. This can be pretty annoying when you are suffering from tonsillitis and need Penicillin as soon as possible. Regardless of the negative points, Kenmore Family Medical Practice is a great GP to go to for your everyday medical concerns.

I really didn't think Doctors Surgery's like this still existed. I needed a good GP and a friend…read morerecommended Dr Peacock at Kenmore Family Medical Centre. I dithered a bit as it's a fair drive (and growing up in Kenmore means trips back are fraught with remembered teenage angst) but as I finally need a proper doctor I thought I'd give it a crack. This little Surgery is a real gem. Handy parking out the back, friendly receptionist (decked out in a flashing light necklace due to Christmas) and lots of patients ranging from 8 mths old to 80. I was a little late, so I expected a quick check up and another appointment but Dr Peacock saw me for an hour! A WHOLE FRICKING HOUR! Unbelievable. I think this is probably what our parents used to experience, but I sure never thought I'd find it in my lifetime. And the best bit? Standard $60 out of pocket fee. My husband spends $60 to see the doctor around the corner for 15 minutes so I think I win. Now I just need to remember to leave early enough so I'm not late again!

Healthy Women can be hard to get to with all the roadworks going on at Indooroopilly shopping…read morecentre at the moment. They don't have parking onsite, however, you can park at the shopping centre and hoof it over to the clinic or park on a side street; provided you're in a physical position to do so. There's also a bus stop at the shopping centre and a train station down the road if you don't mind more of a hike. Ambience **** The waiting room at the clinic has warm tones, stylish furniture and decore. There's a water cooler, a round of soft couches at pram height so bubs can keep an eye on their wayward mums, and stiff chairs for those who prefer sitting up straight. Tissues and sanitizer gel is availabe at the counter. The bathroom can be fun to get to if you're not into reading signs or paying attention to instruction; mens is furthest from the lift, and ladies is closest to the clinic. I'm not a baby person, I don't plan on making one anytime soon, and so I find the majority of magazine-ware and kids' colouring-in on offer grates my eyeballs. I have to admit it keeps the ankle biters and talkative mums busy while I wait for my appointments, though. Most of the consultation rooms (if not all) have an examination bed which can be a bit offputting when your eye catches the conveniently placed lamps. Services on offer **** Family planning from each end of the spectrum and full-on LADIES business. Though I've seen a guy on his own here as well, not sure why, and wasn't going to pry. I can only comment on the contraceptive and general health side of things, so if you're planning family, I'm no help. The doctors are WELL informed on multiple contraceptive methods and explain in easy-to-understand terms what effects each one might come with. Service **** Now that I've learned that a lady Dr I know of personally hates that she's automatically lumped into dealing with women regularly instead of being utilised in a more broad spectrum at a general practice, I go here. More often than not, I end up waiting for my doctor; she seems to be running late no matter what time of day it is, but that's what iPhones were invented for, right? Past that, I couldn't ask for better dealings with the doctors and nurses working here. Thus far I've had basic check-ups, contraceptive consultations, pap smears, you-name-it-I've-had-it test consultations and results, and an IUD procedure (heaven on earth don't get me started on this!). I've always walked away happy with what I've been told (albeit at times somewhat scared); particularly on my last visit I was overwhelmed by the care the staff showed: so far as an offer of iced tea when I took a bit of a turn. As is becoming habit with health care providers, Healthy Women will send you an SMS reminder if you book and leave your mobile number with them - not sure about phoning you to give you a reminder if you leave a landline. Additional notes Being specifically a women's health clinic you might expect to pay a bit more than your family medical centre or GP. If that's the case I haven't noticed; in fact compared to some practices in Brisbane CBD, their consultation prices are very competitive, and they process your Medicare rebate when you pay at the end. That's if it works, make sure you check your receipt as mine was cancelled once and I had to hoof it to Medicare.

I take both my kids there and I go there myself. Sometimes you have to wait, usually on weekends but most times you get your appointment time plus or minus 15 minutes. The doctors here, namely Dr Davis and Dr Williamson (daughter and mother respectively) are very good. They are personable, which is more than I can say for most and they remember you. I saw Dr Davis through both my pregnancies and before her I saw Dr Williamson. I can't speak highly enough of Dr Davis, neither can my kids. Best GP ever! Bonus - right next to it is the Taringa Day and Night Pharmacy!

As a few Yelpers have said, while this wouldn't become my regular medical practice, it is a fairly…read moredecent after-hours medical practice. This past weekend when my usual GP was unavailable, knowing the team at Taringa is only a short drive away was a god send during my current flu-state. Case in point on Sunday when my conditioned worsened and I was in need of a doctor appointment I went to Taringa. On a Sunday they don't take appointments and the wait time was about 45 minutes. And look - the service is a little impersonal but you can make concessions on this given the volume of people they'd see each day and when you're greeted by the pleasant surprise the Dr has bulk-billed you instead of charging the Sunday fee of $90, you're even more forgiving. All in all a reasonably fine medical practice that is a handy number to have up your sleeve.

I once went to a doctor that prescribed me anti-histamines when I had pneumonia. As a result I got asthma, and I've been very cautious about choosing a cheap, bulk-billed doctor. Central Brunswick Centre is not bulk-billed, but it is rebated by Medicare, so your average cost for a consultation is about $30. The staff are super friendly and you don't have to wait too long when you book an appointment. When it comes to your health you can never be too careful but I wouldn't trust anywhere else.

Central Brunswick Medical Centre is gay friendly, and the majority of doctors are gay themselves. So a lot of the LGBT community are patients here and can get sexual advice and check ups in a comfortable environment. I'm straight but I come here because the doctors, receptionists and facilities are amazing. I've been to a few doctors here. Ken Koh is very helpful, and when I left the appointment he even called me on his private office line to double check whether or not I'd had certain vaccines. Fiona Bishop is fantastic, and is always on high demand. When I first wanted to come to this clinic she wasn't taking on any new patients, but six months later I somehow managed to weasel my way onto her regular patient's list. She's compassionate, but firm, and made me piss myself when I walked in with a nasty virus and she spent our entire consultation with a face mask on. (I was very contagious.) James Kennedy is a sweetheart and has a lovely Irish accent that will make you forget all of your ails. The nurse is also incredibly kind and considerate. My ears get blocked often so I come here to get them flushed out. Having water flushed into your middle ear isn't exactly pleasant and can leave you feeling nauseous, so the nurse sat and chatted with me while the room stopped spinning. Some important things to note: - You're able to claim most of the bill back through medicare, and the ladies at reception can help you set things up so those returns are paid directly to your account. - There's a pathology clinic down the hall so you can get your tests done in one hit. - If you're catching public transport, this place can be a bit difficult to find. Walk past Grill'd, then past Video Ezy, walk up two flights of stairs and it's straight ahead on your left.

This medical centre has quickly become the most convenient to visit within the Goodna/ Redbank…read morePlains area for a few reasons. Firstly, located within the St. Ives Shopping Centre it is easy to access with a lot of parking, is next to a QML Pathology service and close to a pharmacy. At busy times, there are two receptionists and the centre itself is quite large with a lot of seating so you usually have some space and don't need to sit next to anyone else (let's be honest, no one likes when the only free seat is next to someone else coughing up a lung or similar) and there are currently six doctors and two nurses who work here. The best thing about this centre is definitely the waiting times; the few times I've been here, I have been seen on time and the doctor has been quick but efficient and friendly. I definitely recommend this bulk-billed medical centre.
