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.

This has been my local doctor's surgery for quite a while now, and I've had nothing but great…read moreexperiences from it. Kempsie Road Medical Centre offers your basic General Practitioner's service for those unwanted non-emergencies, as well as a nurse on duty to take care of the even smaller things. Dr Satish Prasad is the doctor and he has over 20 years experience practicing as a medical practitioner and is a fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, as the placards over the walls can attest to. Apparently he also speaks fluent Hindi. What I like about Kempsie Road Medical Centre is that it's still a new practice, and therefore has less patients. Appointments are easy to make; I've found I can usually get an appointment on the day I call (rather than waiting for weeks like you do at some places). Oh, and they bulk bill. Perfect for uni students.

Dr. Prasad and his staff are great. I have been going to him for a few years now and they look…read moreafter our family ever so well. One of the stand outs for us is that Dr. Prasad is awesome at giving injections, that is why he was a natural choice for us when it came to immunizations. It's nice to go to a Medical Centre where they treat you as an individual and not just another number. The personal service and the relationship with the patient is a cornerstone of this practice. I don't know if I do want to recommend it to anyone else, just in case too many people discover how great it is and then it becomes hard to get an appointment! Oh and most importantly - they bulk bill, which is getting rare around here.

Gumdale Medical Centre is in a new location since August (formerly at Belmont) and the new practice…read moreis a little bit fancy. I love lime green and the waiting room has it everywhere but not so much as too hurt your eyes. I only recently started going here and so far, it has been a breeze. The wait time is minimal, the staff are helpful and patient and my doctor is wonderful. I will certainly not be going back to the bulk billing doctors I was previously going to. Sure they bulk bill, but the wait times were ridiculous and the waiting room felt like a death trap. The Gumdale Centre clearly outlines their pricing structure plus exactly what you will get back from Medicare. If that wasn't enough, they also refund you on the spot. The most important thing is of course the doctor and Dr Webster is a gem. Very efficient and obviously knowledgeable. If you find a good doctor, I recommend you stick with them.

The doctors at Gumdale Medical Centre are noteworthy because when we visit, it doesn't feel like…read morewe're being hurried through, and thankfully the wait usually isn't too long; I get really peeved when mismanaged practices scheduling appointments 15 minutes apart get into a lag and don't give a stuff if you're waiting an hour after your appointment - that word appointment means you have an expectation of being seen at that appointed time, doesn't it? Anyway, from one girl who's sick of the churn at some practices, the docs at Gumdale are professional yet relaxed, and one in particular has an excellent reputation for picking up on any scary little skin anomolies, so he's got my vote now for regular mole check-ups - had yours yet?

I have been here a handful of times already from a prescription repeat through to post-travel sickness. Each time I have been seen by Dr Rayar and he has been lovely. He is knowledgeable and doesn't rush you. He is not very smiley so I make it my goal to make him chuckle at my weirdness every time I see him. The front desk staff are always super nice, the surgery is new and clean, I always get an appointment quickly. They bulk bill! And the best feature of all of that you can book your appointment online. It is amazing, why don't all surgeries do this?? So if I am feeling sick at 7pm at night, I don't have to wait til 8.30am to call and hope to get an appointment, I just book it online!
