When this place first opened over 10 years ago it was more of an A & E clinic and my first…read moreexperiences were late at night or on the weekends with my babies when I couldn't get to my own doctor in Royal Oak. Eventually I realised that this is the nature of sick children (it's ALWAYS urgent, especially when they are your own beloved bubs) and moved the whole family to this clinic. It is discounted healthcare here for members and with some GPs charging up to $95 a visit now, the $17 charge ($10 for the kids) makes a big difference - even when you have health insurance they only cover to a certain amount per visit. You also don't need an appointment unless you want to see a particular doctor which is SO much easier. The downside is that not all doctors are created equal and you can wait for up to an hour a half - although it's usually under an hour. Once you've seen a few you can make an informed choice and I now have a regular GP that I use for standard appointments and know which are the best ones for backup. Unfortunately health care has become the individual's responsibility and a close GP/patient relationship is hard to find these days with doctor's surgeries feeling like revolving door drug factories. I do miss the feeling of support I used to have and the fact that Dr Google is my biggest medical ally in making diagnoses, but I guess it's just a sign of the times. They are all so busy there's no time to get to know everybody. Having said that, relationships grow over time and Three Kings Accident & Medical is definitely a convenient and economical place for your family's healthcare and if things get worse, you can whip them off to Starship.

Work accident. In straight away because I was bleeding badly. Intense Pain but was only offered…read morePanadol. Doctor attended fairly sticky. The nurse who did bandages was outstanding. The receptionist however was very rude, cold and obnoxious. Which is why I decided to post this review

Now that a family member is receiving regular treatment which includes quarterly visits to this…read morehospital, we have come to know a few of its corridors and wards well. Suffice to say, it is a welcoming place, the staff here are super friendly and I especially love the helpers who meet you at the reception area and deliver you through the warren to your place of appointment. I particularly like the days when I am visiting and the mini market is operating on the ground floor. There is an array of items for sale for reasonable prices like knitting, baking and even small plants. The cafe is adequate on days that the wait is long we pop in here for refueling. Of course the pharmacy on site is super convenient as prescriptions can be filled as you leave the hospital, unlike the counterpart hospital in Henderson.

Absolute SHIT SHOW…read more last week I had appendicitis. The doctor originally, and I quote, said "the story for appendicitis doesn't sound convincing to me, I doubt it's appendicitis"..... 12 hours later? You have appendicitis.. like okay! Great! A diagnosis for my pain! That's what i'm supposed to think right? my surgery was then delayed an entire 3 days where I stayed in the surgery prep ward forced to at this point starve because I was constantly told to fast and "oh you'll be having the surgery today/soon!" Now I'm back a mere 6 days later after post op, I have almost identical pain and issues as to when I originally had appendicitis, what do they do in the first 24hrs? Absolutely NOTHING. I came through the ED, was told within an hour (for once I got to see the doctor fast - come at 7-8am or else you'll be waiting a minimum of 5hours) that I needed to get a CT scan done and that it should take 1-2hours. I was like "Great!".... then the ENTIRE day, I get told by the doctors yea yea well do the ct scan, only to then do ABSOLUTELY NO TESTS ALL DAY - not an ultrasound, nothing - make me fast ALL DAY and then decide not to do the CT scan at all at 7pm after I specifically told them id rather do it and go home if nothings wrong than waste a night here for you to not do it at all. 12 hours of being there for absolutely NOTHING because they refuse to get tests done to prove things or diagnose you. They'll have an idea (based off almost nothing) of what your issue might be caused by and then they'll STICK WITH IT WITH NO PROOF. Never ever go to north shore hospital. I've NEVER had any good times here. Unless you have a broken bone or are bleeding you will NOT BE SEEN.

Not sure what your experiences are with emergency centres, but I wasn't very impressed with this…read moreone. I drove my friend here who was clearly suffering a minor asthma attack - she couldn't breathe very well. The very young doctor sees us after the nurse has interrogated us for a full 10 mins. I appreciated her thoroughness, but my friend wasn't in a condition to answer all the questions. Finally they get the bright idea to put her on some air for a while, but they didn't give her anything as a precaution against another asthma attack except a few pills for allergies. A spacer and new ventilator would've been nice? She ended up in hospital the next day. So we should've just taken her there in the first place, instead of spending $60 to watch them puzzle over her for half an hour. At least the receptionist was bubbly and nice. She made up for some incompetence of whoever was on that day. Moral of the story: asthma attack = call an ambulance, NOT go to East Care.

This is local to me, and i have been here many times over the past few years. Although pricey, I…read morealways find the cost worth it in an emergency- the nurses are friendly, caring and helpful, the doctors, especially the regular ones, are great, and the reception staff I have never had any problems with. This place can be busy from time to time, so there may be a wait, but they do prioritise urgent cases, and to my opinion, they do a great job. Happy to go there when I can't get into my regular GP- it's always been a great back-up service for me and my family, and I have never had any problems over a good 10 years or so of using this service!
