What a wonderful place…read more This review is for all the people who are afraid of going to a public dentist, especially to a learner dentist at a public dental school. I didn't have the money to get my wisdom teeth out, and had to go the public health services route. I am so glad I did! I hopped in the chair and was attended to a student who was not only hot (which was admittedly weird; nobody wants a hot stranger rummaging around in their mouth before at least one good boozy date) but also the most friendly, positive and focused of any dentists I've been to. He was incredibly gentle too and I felt no pain after the first anaesthetic jabs. They suck but they are about the same amount of pain as having blood taken from your arm. A lot of my friends have chosen to have the full anaesthetic while having their teeth extracted. Maybe if you need all four removed at the same time, you might choose that. (I only needed two removed). But I really want to tell you that even for someone like me, who gets shaky at the mere thought of dentists, it is much less painful than you'd imagine. So if you are waiting, quaking in your boots, for some pimply-faced dental student to do a little shop of horrors number on your face, take a deep breath and relax. These guys are being taught so well, both in 'customer service' (otherwise known as being a nice human being) and in dentistry. They'll leave you smiling!

The car park is at the rear, turning left off South Road before it. If you park elsewhere nearby, having missed the turn, the entrance and reception is right around the back near that car park. Once inside, things are all efficient and friendly. I had an appointment but showed up early, and they processed and fit me in, did the procedure all before the time my appointment was actually scheduled for. I'd also taken probably longer than others, as I hadn't had breakfast and almost fainted. I am not sure whether it truly was or not, but the room to me seemed a bit airless and warm. It wasn't boiling, but I assume they make it that temperature because people are in the room largely in the altogether whilst being examined. To remedy my almost-faint they let me lie down for a bit, said I didn't have to have a big injection that day if I didn't want to, and gave me some cookies. After the lie down and the cookies I perked up enough to have the big injection which did not hurt anywhere near as much as they said it would (or perhaps I thought it would). Both the person who gave me an ultrasound and the doctor who gave me an injection were absolutely professional and at all times I felt safe and secure.

I have always been a little sceptical about chiropractors after I went to one ages ago and he used…read moresuction cups on my back. I literally got to the point where I had to do something. I was surprised by the thorough questionnaire I had to complete prior to my first visit, but persevered. In my particular case I required X-ray which I had and then the treatments started. All I can say is "amazing". I felt better after that first visit and then got more better from there (yes, more better). Stuart talked me through the whole process and I now have appointments at least every 3 months if not when I think I need one. Everyone is friendly and helpful and thorough. My family go here and I have recommended Stuart to anyone that will listen. Stuart is not preferred by my insurance company but I don't care. If I didn't have insurance I would still go here.

They certainly should but any excuse to keep our hard earned money in their hands they will endeavour to find Nevertheless the service I received during a very busy day was outstanding. Since my problem was orthopaedic and there is a Sports Injury / Orthopaedic Clinic on site when I was eventually seen by the ED doctor I was quickly referred to the right folk. Again this is a busy place and not all the patients were as tolerant as they should be. Regardless all the staff were kind, courteous, compassionate and professional. The clinical education and treatment was outstanding. So if you have $380 and want top quality care it's worth the cost. But do be nice to the staff. And remember they will be patients there alot sicker than you.

It was series of unfortunate events at this particular store. Firstly, one person misquoted my…read moreglasses, not factoring in the new health plan statements. I would normally class this as a fair enough mistake if it wasn't for the fact that this staff member checked the book several times. Another person who served me was new at the job and should have had a mentor there watching this staff member because the spec savers form from a previous staff member confused them and they had to write out everything in their own way. I was sympathetic for quite some time but after forty minutes of checking, re checking, talking to other staff, because this staff member really wasn't sure, I was ready to get out of there. I gave them my card only for there to be a significant gap! To give the staff credit, they were really apologetic and understood if I didn't want to pay. When I eventually decided to get them and came to pick them up, I struggled with the change of prescription. Another staff member who couldn't fathom my type of script for my age kept indicating I wouldn't know what to expect and kept suggesting things that I had experienced before. Despite my constant reaffirmation that I had worn these kind of glasses my whole life, they kept slipping back into intimating that I didn't know what I was talking about!!!! I came back after a few days to readjust them. They had been severely uncomfortable and I had another glasses store loosen them to ease the discomfort. This had caused my glasses to slip - the other store said that I would need the ends significantly bent so that they wouldn't slip, but being another store, I wanted to leave any errors to Specsavers so that they would replace any possible damage made. So I went back to Specsavers where they readjusted it, but the discomfort was back a few hours later! Am a little over this store at this point and after a long day, just pull the side over my ear to let the side of my head recover... -_-

I recently had an optical emergency. My glasses (orignially from Specsavers Marion - west) came to…read morepieces in my hands on a Wednesday night. Regardless of the cause (be it faulty frames or one too many roundhouse kicks to the head that sent them flying at karate training) I had to do something. (In the mean time all I had were some out of date wrong script contacts and some prescription sunnies - neither of which incidentally were a great look at work!!) So....at 9pm I hopped on line and filled in the web form to see if I could get an appointment to get assessed for new contact lenses and see if the glasses were repairable. By about 930 Thursday morning they called me and made a time for me to come in that very afternoon to the East store (I wasn't aware there were two but the west store pointed me in the right direction = East!!). They took a look at my glasses and decided they were cactus (and now out of stock) but said since it was only a year or so since I got them they would replace with a frame of my choosing. Unfortunately they said this would take 10 days. They also tested me for glasses and contacts (even though I only got tested last year for glasses) and charged me nothing. They had to order the contacts for me to try which they said would take a few days. By the following Monday I got a call to say my new glasses were in - a week ahead of schedule. Went to collect and the contacts were also in so I made an appointment for that Thursday / Friday. I also chose 2 pairs of new frames to order a back up pair of glasses and sunnies incase of future mishaps. The gap was about $40 or less (due to antireflective lenses). Contact lens trial went well and they assisted me order online (cheaper) and the new lenses arrived to home about a week later. The contacts are working out great for training and the new specs are all fabulous and stylish. The staff at the shop were super helpful and even though the shop was always busy they always took the time to explain things / help with choosing frames / fitting things properly etc. I will definitely use them again!
