Absolutely atrocious service and patient care. Go literally anywhere else…read more The receptionist failed to change my patient status on their computer system after I completed their forms. Because of this, the nurse called the patient booked after me and made me wait over 40 minutes, despite being on time and ready. Dr Karl Rodins does not perform a thorough skin check! Even on patients with a history of skin cancer. The examination was over in under 5 minutes. He waved a green light over me and didn't closely examine ANY of the freckles/moles that have been of high concern to other doctors in previous skin checks. When I inquired, Dr Rodins said he "didn't believe in monitoring" except in children. Charged $295 (I was quoted almost $100 less over the phone) and no medicare rebate. Absolute rip off when Dr Rodins didn't even do his job. I don't know how this medical practice is legally allowed to operate as they are not conducting adequate skin checks and they are certainly not building rapport with their patients.

Last year I had to get a suspicious looking mole cut from my leg. It turned out to be an abnormal…read moremole with the potential to become cancerous, so I've been getting regular check ups on the insistence of my doctor ever since. I go to Terrace Dermatology for a full body skin-check every 6 months, which involves stripping down to your undies, and I've never once felt uncomfortable like I have in other medical situations. My dermatologist is Dr Rowland Noakes, who is very thorough and checks between your toes and behind your ears. If you ask (which I did, because I am a crazy hypochondriac) he can even whip out this neat gadget he attaches to his iPhone4, which takes photos of your moles that he can track the progress of at each consultation. He is also the cheeriest person I have ever met in my goddamn life, which is pretty remarkable considering he must spend a lot of time burning warts off people's feet. The bathrooms here are also wonderfully clean and modern, and there's a good selection of magazines and newspapers while you're waiting. There are also usually free samples of sunscreen, etc, on the counter, but make sure they aren't overdue like mine were. Sad face.

He's rude, arrogant & isn't interested in how his patients feel or what their concerns are. He's…read morevery full of his own importance. You get no idea really of cost until you get back to reception, he's not clear on how many treatments you may or may not need. He is condescending, dismissive & doesn't really explain the treatment so you are left feeling like you have no idea what's going on. He whips you in, sticks needles in your face, zaps you with a laser and then leaves the room without even saying goodbye... He's more concerned with getting you out & the next patient in. I for one would NOT recommend him for a split second...

This female does not deserve the title Doctor. She belittled, degraded, crushed and dehumanised my…read moredaughter. She demonstrated NIL compassion, took a phone call in the middle of the consult and then lied about medical details relayed to her. After her acknowledging she is no longer to consult with my daughter she STILL forced herself into my daughter's hospital room, demanding to speak to my daughter WHOM SHE KEPT CALLING THE WRONG NAME. She is a the cruelest form of a bully to people that are sick and vulnerable.
