    I work in the medical profession. I have moved around a lot over the years so I have seen lots of…read moredoctors and can make some good comparisons. I have been going here for about 6 years so I have seen a few doctors at this practice. I prefer to stick with one when possible but sometimes schedules and urgent issues don't allow that. The doctors (Dr Oh, Dr Khoo, Dr Civitico) I have seen are all very good. They provide thoroughness and consistency that you just don't get at the big commercial chain practices. They do charge above the Medicare fee and ask you to pay the entire fee up front but they do forward the details to Medicare on your behalf for reimbursement directly from medicare for the standard amount. They have an onsite collection centre for HealthScope pathology so you can one stop shop if needed.

    Until I actually thought about writing this review I'll be honest and say I never really gave the…read morecalibre of my doctor and her surgery much thought. I mean, she's fantastic and I happily recommend her to people, but can you really get excited about a medical clinic? On reflection though, I found that it's possible to think about your experiences in that place to date and realise you have very little to fault. I see two doctors at this clinic - Dr Trish Civitico and Dr Graeme Edwards. Both are great! Whilst Collins Place does bulk bill, a regular appointment will still need you to pay a certain amount over and above that. After your Medicare rebate, it works out to be about $15. They do however bulk bill vaccinations and the full cost is covered. I started going to CPMC when I worked across the road... and whilst I no longer work there, I still make the trip into the city because the experience here is consistently great... and when you're sick, you want consistency and predictability, right?

    Had two day procedures at Epworth hospital this year. Both times was so impressed with Hospital…read morestaff and care. All staff polite, friendly, called me by name, and care was pretty spectacular. Offered magazines if I had to wait, bought me up to speed, answered questions with clarity and friendliness and even offered to have special meal bought up if I needed it after procedure. Makes you feel rest assured and relaxed. Highly recommended

    I was meant to go to rehab at Epworth for 2 weeks, I wanted to leave the very next morning!! The…read morephysiotherapist I had was really unprofessional & too busy chatting & gossiping with her colleagues to care what or how I was doing. The (male) nursing unit manager was abusive towards me & made it very obvious that he didn't believe I had, had a fall, because none of the staff witnessed it.My daughter came in, at first encouraging me to try & stay the full 2 weeks but a little while after she got there the NUM came into my room & continued to be rude & confrontational towards me (in front of my daughter, and not being aware it was my Daughter, who also happens to be a Nurse), after my daughter witnessed the way I was being treated, she told me to pack & leave with her. The Allied health staff (and a trainee Specialist) tried to tell me that what a Professor & various other professionals had told me was incorrect & that all that I had wrong with me was "a bit of arthritis", yet they never spoke to anyone or obtained any of my actual medical records or test results from the hospital I was taken to after the car accident. I stuck it out for almost the full 2 weeks as I genuinely wanted help but despite my efforts, I didn't get the help I so desperately needed. They completely messed up my bowel care regime & medications (that were not an issue to begin with) & changed me to a morphine based medication after I specifically informed them that morphine makes me feel very nauseous. To top it off after I left, they rang my TAC case worker & told her I needed "tough love", I did not give them permission to speak to anyone regarding my health status, so they in fact breached my privacy. I have a spinal cord injury & am pretty sure no amount of "tough love" is going to fix that. I needed guidance & skills to enable me to me more Independent. I deserved kindness, compassion, patience & understanding not to be bullied, belittled and treated so cruelly. What little self esteem I had left, I lost completely during my short stay. I would never NEVER EVER recommend anyone go to the Epworth for Rehab, or for any reason & would never allow another member of my family to either.
