My wife has had a horrible experience in the cardiac ward with some of the nurses and head nurse…read morelast Saturday morning after having a breast rebuild from breast cancer and having been in icu for 3-4days was transferred to a ward that doesn't deal with patients with cardiomyopathy it took the surgeon to get her to be transferred to the cardiac ward in miller after being transferred ther she asked if she could have a private room from the response was from one of the nurses saying you got what you wanted. on Saturday morning the sur came in to check on her and got her into her private room the nurse came in and told her to move the large chair and to pack her bags mind you after having major surgery then said to her she can walk to her private room mind you she was in room 3 and all the way to bed 15 all the way to the other end of the hallway. My wife asked is that punishment for getting mov to a private room the nurse snugged with a smirk this is disgusting behaviour from the nurses

My wife was rushed, in an ambulance, to Hospital with Chest Pains... we could've gone go Maroondah…read more(public) but the Ambos thought we'd get better and more urgent medical attention at Knox Private. The Knox Private Emergency Department care rated 3 /5 at best... they would've scored lower if not for one particular nurse who was fantastic. The other nurses couldn't care less and the doctor on duty was must've spent all of 90 seconds talking about her medical condition... instead he was more focused on persuading us to check-in to the ward for monitoring and an angiogram that same evening. No sooner we signed the paperwork, the angiogram was pushed to the next day and after 8 hours of virtual neglect (no doctor, nurses had no clue what meds were prescribed and administered, etc.), we were told that the angiogram was only going to be a couple of days later... the assumption being that we would be happy to sit in hospital and charge our stay to our Private Medical Cover. The medical care at the Ward gets a 0/5 score, only because we give the a lower score. Not once did a Cardiologist see the patient, who was rushed to emergency by Ambulance. Knox Private is a business first and a hospital second. Stay away.

The Wantirna Medical Clinic on Harold Street has been my local doctors for years. The doctors tend…read moreto rotate pretty frequently - enough so that I've never really had a regular doctor but a string of random practitioners who I am unlikely to see again. This works out pretty well sometimes as it means I can ask whatever embarrassing medical questions I want with no fear of having to face them again in three months time. On the other hand it's also pretty annoying as it means that you have to catch each doctor up with your medical history each time you go. This practice never seems to be running on time with appointments with very long waiting times even when you booked well in advance. My advice is to book one of the first sessions each morning to avoid this. They have a kids play area in the waiting room and plenty of magazines and books for older people to look at. There's also a small television in the corner to keep you entertained. There's about four or five doctors who work here at any given time so they also accept walk-ins without appointments- however except to wait a really, really long time. On site they have a second building, which is equipped for blood tests, injections and x-rays. The staff in this building are really friendly and very good at dealing with people who are scared of having needles. Despite the waiting around, the service here is generally pretty good and because it's so local to me I really cannot complain.

Very professional & welcoming. Went here to get stitches following a sporting injury; the doctor…read morewas very skilled & we had a great conversation about the premier league to help distract me, as I'm not great with pain. Definitely would come here again

It is so much fun. There is heaps to do here, it is just fantastic fun for all ages. It's so good…read moreit's a wonder they don't charge admission to get in. A real something for everyone place and the staff are so friendly and helpful. First class tea, coffee and food await you during your stay and the amenities are of course world class. Try to book ahead as there are very long waits on arrival. Please ignore the sign above the door that reads 'abandon all hope ye that enter this portal'. Seriously, they do a great job here with very limited resources.
