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.

I actually look forward to going to the dentist now because I am more impressed with each visit.. I've never met Dr Harvey, but the other staff are friendly and fun and Dr Lynch in particular is very informative and patient and careful and compared to my other experience and stories from people with other dentists, I've been very lucky. I feel like I'm on to a winner.

We had a horrible first birth experience in Dublin…read moreand were scared of what was to come but more importantly, I felt broken and shattered after an emotionally draining year. Charlotte kindly and patiently answered my million questions (big and small), was calm when I was panicky and bonus she's very funny. Dr Charlotte took all of my worries away. When the time came I wasn't scared to have the caesar, the atmosphere in the operating theatre was great. I was able to welcome my baby the way I wanted to! She even did a bit of plastic surgery on my scar and it looks beautiful! I cannot fault Dr Mooring, she put beauty & fun back into our lives.

I have had chiropractic care most of my life. Originally it was to help a variety of issues but now…read moreit is simply for maintenance. Over the years I've found that chiropractors are like mechanics - there are lots around, but some I feel I can trust more than others. Dr. Hetal has a range of knowledge that extends well beyond that of chiropractic. He has a desire to understand the cause as well as the symptoms. He sees a patient as a puzzle and the goal is to do the smallest intervention in exactly the right place so as the patient gets the best result. He prides himself on his precision. The clinic has a calm and relaxed feel to it. It does get busy but even when busy there is still an air of order. I have watched him work when he has had several patients at once and even though everyone gets all the time they need he seems to move with a relaxed deftness. There will always be better chiropractors around but Dt. Hetal's patience with children through to his extensive life knowledge that allows him to relate relatively complex chiropractic concepts to adults is fairly unique in my experience.

Everton Hills Chiropractic is easy to find, has plenty of parking and the hours suit me well. There is an air of friendliness and cleanliness when entering the rooms and a familiar friendly face to greet you on arrival. Dr Hetal is quick, smart and very accurate. There is no mistaking the precision with which he works. He is an expert in his field (and many others). His work is done in an absolutely professional manner yet has the ability to allow yourself to relax and gain the most benefit from your adjustment. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Dr Hetal for your ongoing chiropractic care.

They always have an excuse for the high charges and take no responsibility. The parking is horrendous and over priced.

I've been going to this doctor's surgery since childhood and I can genuinely say that they're some…read moreof the best GP's I've ever seen. Let me give you a couple of examples. Although Brissie born and bred, I've lived in London until recently. Some years ago, I started to get a horrible rash for no apparent reason. It totally bewildered the GPs in London - one of whom sat there looking up a medical book trying to figure it out. Which didn't exactly fill me with confidence in his ability. After a slight freak out - after all, I was covered in an unsightly rash that nobody had a clue how to get rid of - I rang my Mum in Brisbane from London and she called Dr Harvey (from this very medical centre) to tell him what I'd told her on the phone. He was able to easily diagnose what it was from what I'd told Mum, and then advised what non-prescription ointment I should get from the chemist in London. I followed his instructions, and 2 days later, bye bye nasty rash. That's how good these doctors are! Most recently I went here with another complaint that the doctors in London were also perplexed by. Again, the doctor I saw here from this practice gave me an immediate (and correct) diagnosis and treatment. After 4 years of battling this particular health problem in the UK, all it took was 15 minutes in this Brisbane surgery to walk out knowing what it was and exactly how to fix it. So if you're new to Brisbane and live on the Southside, these are the GPs du jour.

Now at 31 weeks of my pregnancy, I started seeing her again last month due to dizziness and general fatigue.

I have heard from friends who have gone to Jiang in the hope of conceiving. Whilst I have no first hand experience in this, I have had friends who swear by it. Keep an open mind and give her a shot. It's worth the while!
