Located on the corner of Dominion Road and Mt Pleasant Road, Balmoral Doctors has only been up and…read morerunning for a few years, but it is fat gaining a reputation among locals for being a reliable, helpful doctors practice. I was actually recommended this practice, and in particular Dr. Heather King, by a family friend who is a doctor herself and so far I have been more than impressed. Dr. King and her fellow doctors at Balmoral Medical Centre treat each patient with care and don't try to rush people through. Though this can mean appointments often run longer than the usual 15minute time allotment, it's definitely worth it for the thorough and genuine care you receive. The downside, of course, is that if you're in a rush don't count on this practice running on time - but this is a common problem with most medical centres. Bonus: There is a brand new pharmacy that has opened up right next to the Balmoral Doctors, so you can get your prescriptions filled quickly and easily!

I had been recommended this place by a friend so went to fill out the paper work etc. I had asked…read moreto see the nurse briefly after which I was told was fine as they were not busy and she would be able to help me out so after waiting the nurse came over and sat down and right from the get go treated me like a delinquent school child, asked what my age was (22yo) and then went on and on and on about how maybe I should go to Mt Roskill Doctors - due to the cost. And that I was wasting her time, so all in all I felt like I was treated with alot of bias for my age and potentially how I was dressed (in leggings a large t shirt and a beanie- keep in mind I was sick and it was pouring with rain out side) I was basically treated like a moron who the nurse referred to as some one who walked off the street. Considering they do not know how much I earn or what job I have it would pay not to judge someone on looks and not to be so rude! Will never go back or recommend it

let's be honest, this place would get four stars based on its price alone. $17 for a doctors visit!…read moreWhy have i been paying upward of $40 elsewhere?! The downside is that everyone else has worked this out too so it can be really hard to get an appointment the same day- not ideal if you haven't planned your illness in advance... However, last time we really needed an appointment on the day we rang, they offered to book us in with a nurse and got a doctor to pop out. Super helpful! Some doctors seem better than others so is worth trying a couple to work out who to make your regular. The nursing staff are LOVELY. The appearance of the place may come as a surprise - it's more than a little run down - but there's something quite charming about it and, seriously, it's $17!

When this place first opened over 10 years ago it was more of an A & E clinic and my first…read moreexperiences were late at night or on the weekends with my babies when I couldn't get to my own doctor in Royal Oak. Eventually I realised that this is the nature of sick children (it's ALWAYS urgent, especially when they are your own beloved bubs) and moved the whole family to this clinic. It is discounted healthcare here for members and with some GPs charging up to $95 a visit now, the $17 charge ($10 for the kids) makes a big difference - even when you have health insurance they only cover to a certain amount per visit. You also don't need an appointment unless you want to see a particular doctor which is SO much easier. The downside is that not all doctors are created equal and you can wait for up to an hour a half - although it's usually under an hour. Once you've seen a few you can make an informed choice and I now have a regular GP that I use for standard appointments and know which are the best ones for backup. Unfortunately health care has become the individual's responsibility and a close GP/patient relationship is hard to find these days with doctor's surgeries feeling like revolving door drug factories. I do miss the feeling of support I used to have and the fact that Dr Google is my biggest medical ally in making diagnoses, but I guess it's just a sign of the times. They are all so busy there's no time to get to know everybody. Having said that, relationships grow over time and Three Kings Accident & Medical is definitely a convenient and economical place for your family's healthcare and if things get worse, you can whip them off to Starship.

Whenever you make an appointment with RRMC, you may as well tack 30-50 minutes on to the end of the quoted time, because they are constantly late. Take a book (or maybe even a tent) for the waiting room; you're going to need it. That said, if you can get an appointment with Dr Phyll (I am not kidding), it's worth the wait. Being seen by Dr Phyll was one of the very best experiences with the medical profession I have ever had in my life. She is a wonderful doctor with a great presence and genuine care for her patients. Whenever I tussle with the idea of getting a new doctor, I'm reminded that she is the reason why I stay.

They have several doctors on the staff here, both men and women. There are also several nurses so if you need to come in for something small then you can see them instead of making an appointment with a doctor. All the staff I've ever dealt with were friendly and professional and reassuring (an important attribute I any medical profession). Unfortunately my doctor no longer works in Avondale, so I don't know if I'll keep coming here. I would still happily recommend the place to anyone else though. It's a popular clinic and often busy, so do bear in mind that sometimes you might have to wait a little while.
