I've had to visit Watkins Medical Centre a few times, primarily to get my sinuses cauterized. Which…read moreis just as sexy as it sounds. Somehow, my parents - two people with the worst sinuses in the world - met, and if that wasn't bad enough, they reproduced. I inherited a pair (is that the delightful term?) of sinuses capable of creating major nasal breathing problems to rival the best of them. This means a trip to see Doctor Anthony Parker every few years to have my sinuses, well, burnt back. The doctor gives you an anaesthetic nasal spray, stuffs a metres-long (but very thin) string of gauze up your nose and 20 minutes later the procedure begins. It then involves the doctor burning away sinus tissue so that when the sinuses are inflamed, they do not meet and obstruct the airway. (I'm no doctor, but the clinic explains the procedure well before you go in.) And yes, he uses a big pointy laser-skewer instrument to remove the nasal tissue. You can only feel the pain when the skewer lingers too long in one area. Walking back out into the surgery an hour after I walked in, the receptionist once said, "I can smell someone's had a cauterisation!". Though a receptionist at an ear, nose and throat specialist must be used to such a smell, I wondered how use to it she is. Sinus problems, or "allergies", are becoming common issues and it wouldn't surprise me if this procedure is performed quite often. The bedside manner of the nurses here is fantastic. One held my hand during the procedure when it must have been evident in my face that the pain was a bit much. Dr Parker himself is also friendly and willing to explain your medical issue and options in great detail prior to an appointment, as well as cost, so you can be sure you're not being ripped off.

I once went to a doctor that prescribed me anti-histamines when I had pneumonia. As a result I got asthma, and I've been very cautious about choosing a cheap, bulk-billed doctor. Central Brunswick Centre is not bulk-billed, but it is rebated by Medicare, so your average cost for a consultation is about $30. The staff are super friendly and you don't have to wait too long when you book an appointment. When it comes to your health you can never be too careful but I wouldn't trust anywhere else.

Central Brunswick Medical Centre is gay friendly, and the majority of doctors are gay themselves. So a lot of the LGBT community are patients here and can get sexual advice and check ups in a comfortable environment. I'm straight but I come here because the doctors, receptionists and facilities are amazing. I've been to a few doctors here. Ken Koh is very helpful, and when I left the appointment he even called me on his private office line to double check whether or not I'd had certain vaccines. Fiona Bishop is fantastic, and is always on high demand. When I first wanted to come to this clinic she wasn't taking on any new patients, but six months later I somehow managed to weasel my way onto her regular patient's list. She's compassionate, but firm, and made me piss myself when I walked in with a nasty virus and she spent our entire consultation with a face mask on. (I was very contagious.) James Kennedy is a sweetheart and has a lovely Irish accent that will make you forget all of your ails. The nurse is also incredibly kind and considerate. My ears get blocked often so I come here to get them flushed out. Having water flushed into your middle ear isn't exactly pleasant and can leave you feeling nauseous, so the nurse sat and chatted with me while the room stopped spinning. Some important things to note: - You're able to claim most of the bill back through medicare, and the ladies at reception can help you set things up so those returns are paid directly to your account. - There's a pathology clinic down the hall so you can get your tests done in one hit. - If you're catching public transport, this place can be a bit difficult to find.

Dr Buttini was my "last straw". After about 18 months of stops and starts on this particular medical issue, I booked an appointment with Dr Buttini and was genuinely surprised at how quickly I was able to see her given her high-level of demand. Within a week of my consult with her, I was undergoing surgery to remedy said medical issue and I couldn't have been in better hands. She's done thousands of this particular procedure, and where other specialists had advised me I'd be in hospital for up to a week, I was home by 2:30pm the same day. Her techniques are innovative and work for you, the patient, to be back on your feet as quickly, and in as little pain, as possible. She is gentle and considerate while being matter of fact and giving you all the information you need. Finding a specialist as "on the ball" as Dr Buttini took me a while, but I'm thankful I did.

She was my back-up physician because my primary physician only works two days per week. Dr Novic now works at Redlands Medical Centre and refuses to continue to treat me, even though I was under her back-up care at Mediwell for approximately 12 months. My primary physician still only works two days per week at a new medical centre in Carindale, so I urgently need a backup doctor who is very familiar with my history. Not only did Dominique Novic refuse to treat me, she chose to relay the message through the practice manager and reception. So, despite having severe, chronic illness, I am now left with no back-up care through a doctor who is familiar with my medical history, with no suggestions from her in regards to continuity of my medical care. This constitutes a gross violation of duty of care and her Hippocratic Oath to do no harm.

Some of the doctors here bulk bill, some don't, so be sure to specify if you don't want to end up with a bill.

Several buses stop here (100, 110, 117, 124, 125, possibly more) but it's a little trickier by train - you have a bit of a walk from either Buranda or Dutton Park stations. There's a Terry White pharmacy right next door, as well as a discount pharmacy across the road. It's also walking distance to various diagnostic services (x rays, ultrasounds, etc.) so it's super handy! They have a registered nurse on the staff for immunisations and the like, and on certain days they also have QML Pathology for any blood or urine tests you might need.
