As this place doesn't bulk bill, its best not used for common colds and the like, for which there is a bulk bill practice down the road near Hyde Park. I came here when I needed something checked out and the staff were great. My doctor took time to listen to my concerns and did all the necessary tests. The pathology lab is also next door which is really convenient. Follow ups and referrals were all handled professionally. Its weird but I never felt like I was in some queue and that they had to get as many patients in and out as possible, even though it was a medical centre. So if you need something more serious than the flu to be checked out, I would rather pay the fee and come here as you will get better service.

At least they have a garage so that's something. Just my opinion but, the parking needs to be improved. A lot. Getting in and out of the car park is akin to a juggling act on a trapeze. Terrible and dangerous and whoever designed it should be ashamed......as should the powers that be that approved it. The fees are exorbitant, in my opinion, so if you're on a tight budget, think twice. *This is my only complaint thus, deducted 1star. The public and private facilities are adjacent to each other even though your gps might show you two separate addresses. I don't want to sound like I'm gushing here but, as hospital experiences go, this was excellent! Really! The lobby and reception areas are clean, bright and friendly staff. The day surgery waiting area is light, has chair seating and usually runs like a well oiled machine. Friendly staff members understand you're there for a procedure and probably nervous...and they are friendly and smiling and make it a little better, as smiles do! Once ready for procedure, while it can be redundant they asked several times pertinent questions, which was great because I had concerns that they helped to alleviate somewhat. Fast forward to an overnight recovery and the nurses are incredible, friendly and caring. 'My' nurses included Michelle and DJ. To be honest, they deserve kudos on every level! The food was better than hospital food, better than airplane food and I want to give credit where credit is due....but don't expect it to be 5star restaurant quality because you'll be disappointed. All in all, as hospital stays go, St Vincent's is really wonderful! Runs like a well oiled machine, clean and beautiful, and more importantly to me, excellent staff members, non-medical and medical. If they can improve anything, it would be the car park.

Which is really rude seeing as my appointment with him was already 20 minutes late. I also got a blood test there. The Doctor said i should do a RAST test. Me not being a doctor asked what it was, he explained it was for allergies. I said will it effect my ability to claim my 3 free medicare checks for food allergies as i already know what allergies i have, he said no. I said well still i know that i am allergic to dustmites is it necessary? He said yes lets do it. So yes now i will have to pay $75 for my food allergy tests because not only is he incompetent he is also a liar. And what do you know i am still allergic to dustmites thanks Dr Dips**t. IF you VALUE your health under no circumstances should you go hear. AVOID THIS PRACTISE.

On Friday the 24th of April, I called to make an appointment, and was very clear that I had…read moremultiple issues I needed to discuss. They booked me in for 9:40am on the 25th, for what I understood to be an extended appointment. I went in, and saw a doctor who didn't bother to introduce himself (He was Caucasian, short balding hair and had an accent.) He asked me why I was there, and I started with my most pressing problem... an injured back which had caused me to fly home from a holiday a month early. I needed to be diagnosed and treated, but also I needed a letter for insurance purposes (Not for medical treatment, but for flight changes I paid for out of pocket). I immediately sensed a shift in his attitude, and I felt like he was calling me a scam artist or something. I distinctly felt "judged". Without me even lifting my shirt, he told me it was just muscular, and an insurance company would never pay for it. He did not know who my insurer was, nor had he even done anything more than make a snap judgment on my condition. He had me stand up, and show him my range of movement. I bent forward, backwards, and side to side. I assure you, there wasn't much range. Maybe 20% of what I normally enjoy. He said "I have a good range of movement". Maybe if I was 80... In any case, the move that most aggravated my back was any twisting motion. (Even rolling over in bed proved painful). He didn't check that range of motion. In fact, he still hadn't even asked me where the pain was, or touched the affected area at this point. When I brought that to his attention, he said "I assume this is lower back pain?". It wasn't. It was mid back. He finally inspected the area closer, and stuck to his guns, saying it was "just" muscular. I told him I didn't really care whether I had a broken spine or a sore back - I just needed a doctor to say that it was injured and how, so I could present it to the insurance company as requested. Reluctantly, he typed up a wishy washy letter, printed it out, folded it, and told me I'd have to give the girl at the front desk $50. When I enquired as to why, he said "Medicare doesn't cover insurance claims". I have no idea if there's any truth to this, but I was 5 minutes into a 10 minute appointment. I told him that I had other issues to discuss, to which he replied "you didn't make a double appointment". First of all, I did. Secondly, I actually didn't need to... there was time left in my STANDARD appointment. Thirdly, if a fee was due for the "insurance letter", he should have let me know that BEFORE writing it. Lastly, at no point did he offer me any TREATMENT advice. In the end, I angrily walked out. The standard of medical "care" he provided was atrocious, and the abuse of Medicare was too - Appointment times are 10 minutes, and he tried to hustle me out the door after 5. His bedside manner was appalling, and I could have been forgiven for thinking he was on the payroll of various insurance companies. He seemed more interested in protecting them than treating me. Absolute Scam.

Prince of Wales, Endoscopy at the Billington Centre: I'm guessing it's pretty obvious what you'd be…read moregoing to this particular department for and, yes, you need a referral from your gp. My visit here was very positive! The directions were easy to follow but if you need assistance finding your way, every staff member is happy to help you and very friendly. From the Barker Street entrance just follow the purple path to the elevator, go to the 2nd floor and continue on until you see the sign that says Billington Centre. Easy peasy. Sheree schedules appointments and also checks you in upon arrival. Due to Covid, scheduling was dramatically impacted so I'm guessing Sheree fielded lots of frantic or distressed people wanting to know when they could schedule their procedure. Sheree is friendly and professional and helpful and calm(!). I applaud her and thank her! This unit has several nurses and members of staff, all kind and friendly. Stephen Butler!!! I don't know if I kept him laughing or if he kept me laughing but, I can not thank him enough for his professionalism, friendliness, too. Gareth and Stephen have a fantastic rapport with each other and it radiates to everyone else. Gareth gave me my post-procedure information and instructions, also answered my questions and another friendly face of this unit. Dr Sorayya is the anaesthetists' intern who explained everything, what to expect, and answered all my questions. Naturally, each member of this well coordinated team followed up with me afterwards, making sure I was doing alright. I was pleasantly surprised to have a follow up phone call from Stephen the day after my procedure. The teamwork and professionalism exhibited deserve kudos to every member of this team and of the unit as well as the Billington Centre. Turns what might be an unpleasant experience into a better experience. Thank you Billington Centre and even bigger thank you to Stephen Butler and Gareth (nurses), Sheree and Sorayya.

One of my very close friends (hi Sal!) just punched out a baby (hi Raphael!) and, until I can find him a red eyemask and a pair of sai as a welcome to the world gift, I swung by P.O.W. Private for a visit. For such a monolithic complex it's remarkably easy & straightforward to park, navigate and get where you're going. From car to kisses was about 3 minutes, with a 1 minute break to help a blind man out the front of the sliding doors find a bench to sit down on. The rooms are clean, well-appointed, the nurses nicely starched, and everything had an air of well-looked-after-ness. In place of the jello and custard my patient event had a fresh chicken salad sitting in her food table - hospital vittles have come a long way. Even got to see a bit of boob in the new baby feeding room. Of course, I'm sure they're paying for the privilege, but still. Schmick.
