Attended the Emergency Department for a mangled foot. Now…read morethis a private hospital and the health funds do not offer reimbursement for this service. They certainly should but any excuse to keep our hard earned money in their hands they will endeavour to find Nevertheless the service I received during a very busy day was outstanding. Since my problem was orthopaedic and there is a Sports Injury / Orthopaedic Clinic on site when I was eventually seen by the ED doctor I was quickly referred to the right folk. Again this is a busy place and not all the patients were as tolerant as they should be. Regardless all the staff were kind, courteous, compassionate and professional. The clinical education and treatment was outstanding. So if you have $380 and want top quality care it's worth the cost. But do be nice to the staff. And remember they will be patients there alot sicker than you.

Adelaide Day Surgery obviously does a variety of day surgery procedures for private patients. You…read morecan go here without private health insurance if you can afford to pay the fee's for the venue, surgeon and anaethetist prior to your surgery. It was purpose built not that long ago so it is nice and new on the inside with all the features to make your stay more comfortable. They definitely get through the workload quicker than the hospitals. They offer opthamology, oral surgery, orthopaedic surgery, paediatric, plastic, reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. In and out in a day and all in nice facilities. Worst part is the parking. There are only 2 drop off / pick up parks out front and very minimal parking other than paid in a high priced city car park. Make sure you have plenty of coins with you in case you are lucky enough to get a street park as it will be ticket parking too and limited time.

We received a warm greeting from the staff and the doctor. A chipped tooth was nicely repaired within an hour. Pricing was a little less than in the US.

Both his children had recently (well at least 2-3 years?) joined him in the practice to enable 'senior' to partly retire. They are all University of Adelaide graduates. Being situated in the Chinatown precinct, the receptionist / dental assistant is well verse in Mandarin. There are 2 treatment rooms and well equipped. Well, I don't know much about dental equipments, but I know that at least the dental chair is not raised by foot pump. The reception area looks comfortable as I didn't need to sit and wait as the dentist was ready for me when I arrived at the appointed time. So important to have that service as I don't want to waste most of my lunch hour in the dental chair. I liked the box of freebie samples of toothpaste on the counter. Nice to take away one for my travels!

The Green Dispensary is a unique concept in pharmaceuticals as it is not averse to providing and…read moreinforming to its customers about alternative natural medications. The majority of all other chemists stock a minimal amount of vitamins and minerals and the staff don't have much knowledge to advise you about which is the best one for you, whereas The Green Dispensary does. Not only that but they are also a compounding pharmacy meaning they can concoct a medication suited to your requirements, a bit like a witches brew service...how cool is that! They also endeavour to be chemical free where possible and all of their hair and body range is free of harmful ingredients, so if you're allergic to non natural chemicals they can advise you which is best for your condition and won't harm you. There are some people so sensitive to chemicals in products they can easily land in hospital, much like people with nut allergies. Cheap chemical bulking agents, SLS and other non natural ingredients are contained in 99.9% of everything we buy for our bodies, even toothpaste, very scary that the 20th century is slowing killing us before our time should be up. In a nut shell they work hand in hand with western conventional medicine and complimentary medicine, having a wholisitc approach to medicine and it's in their best interests to keep you informed and healthy, so it's in your best interest to look out for yourself also. Education is key to gaining knowledge and researching the benefits of complimentary medicine, so don't poo poo it before giving it a try. The Green Pharmacy is a fresh and inviting open space with friendly and definitely helpful staff, short of going to a natropath, this is the inbetween stop to make.

I visited this place a long time ago for a review of some scans related to my shoulder. I received…read morea typical diagnosis, but the doctor was very straightforward and explained my options. What impressed me was that he provided alternatives instead of immediately suggesting surgery, which would have required a six-week recovery. Many years later, after undergoing physiotherapy at Sportsmed, my shoulder has become much stronger, and I managed to avoid surgery altogether. This is what good doctors do; they communicate honestly and provide information rather than just directives. They are candid about recovery times and the overall outlook and implications of the various options. They also have specialisations in different areas of the body, which enhances their knowledge to share with patients. This is crucial for me, as I couldn't afford to take six weeks off from my regular training routine. I give them five stars; I am very impressed.

02/01/2012 Photos Before I start, I'd just like to mention…read morethat when I injured my left knee in the middle of a sports match, it was one of the most depressing moments of my life. I was extremely frightened when I was told by the Sportsmed surgeon that I definitely needed surgery and that I would have to stay overnight at their hospital. Knowing me, all the worst case scenarios and uncertainties flooded my brain. However, after the experience, I would like to exclaim that Sportsmed SA is nothing less than my SUPERHERO. So, my overnight stay at their hospital - I cannot forget that night, even though it happened a few years ago. It was on a weeknight, so I understood that only my Dad, my eldest brother and my best friend could visit, as most of my friends had work. If you ever visit someone close in their hospital bed, you will be like a "knight in shining armour" in our eyes, because there's nothing like a loved one visiting you when you are at one of the absolute rock bottom moment/s of your life. It means a lot to the patient that you are there with them. There's really no other word to describe my experience here other than "Thank God!" I was extremely grateful for all the health professionals that constantly looked after me from start to finish. I love your surgeon who gave me my life back I love how your Anaesthetists and nurses reduced my throbbing pain significantly I love your clean hospital beds I love how professional and honest you were towards me I love how you performed the surgery perfectly I love how I was only there for one night and was ready to go home the next day I love the constant attention and care from several of your nurses I love every staff member who met me and made sure I got out perfectly okay I love how everyone was there for me, supporting me, lifting me back up when I was so down and upset And mostly, I was so grateful to be able to walk out (one x-ray, blood loss, only one surgeon consultation needed, and 24 hours later throwing up massive amounts of fluids into a bucket) with the aid of crutches, albeit on a bad limp, and go back home. My surgeon's diagnosis? I will be back playing the sports I love within 9-12 months. Which did definitely happen, with the help of their physiotherapist, I played one of the best games of my life within a few weeks of my return. God, I am so thankful for being able to walk again. Ever since that life-changing experience, I have never taken my body's functions for granted, and have treated my body with absolute care everyday. (And that's why I have nothing but high appreciation for what surgeons, nurses, physiotherapists and other health professionals do on a daily basis.)
