Let me tell you a story. A few years ago, at the age of 26, I made the grave discovery that my…read morewisdom teeth had decided it was time to terrorize my mouth. I pretended it wasn't happening for a good 12 months, until one day I woke up and noticed that my otherwise perfectly straight bottom teeth had been shoved out of alignment as the malicious good for nothing wisdom tooth tried to battle for a place in my mouth. A place that simply was not there. It was time. I scoured the internet for the least sinister sounding dentist. I found Gentle Touch Dental. Not only do I like things that rhyme, but I also like a dentist that is gentle. I have now been attending this practice for almost three years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. My wisdom tooth extraction was exceptionally difficult, for them, not me, I was in the land of happy gas. I had no complications post surgery and I healed up nicely. They are great and I'd highly recommend them for people who are scared of the dentist.

Rude and unhelpful receptionist. I called Leichhardt Dental…read moreSurgery in regard to a quote for Invisalign treatments and was answered sharply with "I don't think we do that", despite Invisalign and the concept behind such treatments being very common and well published. She offerer no suggestions of similar treatments or alternative treatments, and made no attempt to understand what I was enquiring about. I wouldn't even consider going to a dentist who's front line doesn't understand common dental treatments.

I feel unbelievably fortunate to have discovered Dr. Jane Zhang at Marrickville Dental Health…read moreCenter--honestly, it feels like I've hit the jackpot. She treated me with incredible patience, attention, and genuine care, offering clear explanations, thorough assessments, and even detailed images of my damaged tooth. I've been calling her my dental fairy--and I stand by it! If you're seeking some dental magic, look no further. Dr. Zhang is an angel from the whimsical Department of Toothly Affairs, and not only is her work highly professional and filled with compassion, but she also charges fair, transparent rates. You'll be in the safest hands, both medically and financially. I couldn't recommend her more!

Avoid this practice! We brought our 6 year old in with likely pneumonia. He was started on…read moreantibiotics and we were told to call back on Wednesday for the swab results. On Wednesday we were told we need an appointment to get the results and the next available appointment was Friday. On Thursday he deteriorated and had to go to hospital by ambulance. It turns out that he had a different strain of pneumonia to the one he was prescribed antibiotics for, and if anyone had checked the results we could have got the right antibiotics in time to avoid a hospital stay. When I complained to the practice they saw no issue with this and did not agree there should be a process in place to review test results of patients whose doctor is not working that day. The doctor we saw was fine but this practice has no regard for patient outcomes.

Not much here in terms of shelter on a rainy day and the trains don't stop all that often…read more That said it is literally a stone's throw away from the Summer Hill town center which makes it a convenient choice if the weather is fine and you want to leave the car at home on a night out to one of the restaurants in the area. Otherwise, I'd only use it if you have to.

The inner suburb of Summer Hill is located 8 km west of the Sydney central business district…read more Before British settlement, Summer Hill was the home of the Wangal and Cadigal Aboriginal peoples, and the open plains were hoppin' with kangaroos. A smallpox outbreak in 1789 led to the demise of the Aboriginals in this area. The first governor of the British colony, Governor Phillip estimated that half of the local Aboriginal people died from the disease, and also noted that the Aboriginal people "retired from where the diseases appeared" as well. Funny that. By the 1920s, Summer Hill was upper-class and some of the local mansions are still in existence. Kinda neat to still see. After later becoming a working class area, the trendies and hipsters began moving in to cheap housing and renovating the place. Lots of apartment blocks are now here due to its proximity to the city. The Summer Hill railway station was opened in 1879 when the train line came through. A renovation and Easy Access upgrade of the railway station was completed in 2004. Between the two dates nothing much happened. Most of the local shops are clustered close to the station, in typical Australian urban fashion. We had friends who moved here. The McCarthy's, who were Welsh immigrants, no less. They had a Paul McCarthy, but not the one you think. Their dad liked to get drunk and sing Danny Boy. Bless his heart - he was always very decent to me and I believe he may have passed away earlier this year. As a wee lad I would sometimes come here on the train with my mum to visit them, as she was freaked out with driving in Sydney till many years later. I can drive the freeways of Los Angeles with no problemo, but I am still freaked out by driving in Sydney.
