Reviews
"I've been to this clinic numerous times with my son for urgent respiratory care/asthma/viruses and illnesses. Each and every time we were seen almost instantly and the doctors and nurses are wonderful. Each time we left with care advice and encouragement to return if symptoms persisted. Highly recommend"
"I’m only giving one star for the friendly receptionist and the lovely nurse who i spoke to. They were both easy to talk to and very understanding with good knowledge. However, I would give 0 stars for the GP who saw me (Dr Ong?). Not only does he need to work on his communication skills within the healthcare team, he also needs to brush up on his medication knowledge before handing out prescriptions to patients. I questioned a script he gave me as I knew the medication on it interacted with one I’m already on for a chronic condition. As a registered nurse myself, I also have knowledge about medications. Dr Ong refused to give me anything else and left me in excruciating pain. I could barely walk in and out or the clinic, and left in even more pain than I had when i booked the appointment"
"I had the most excellent care here by the doctor and the nurse. Both very warm and attentive. I was seen instantly with no wait. I feel lucky to live so close by to such an exceptional care service."
"Came here for a tetanus vaccine after a small bite from my cat as I could not find an available GP on the day. I was seen by the nurse and doctor pretty much straight away, given vaccine and antibiotics within 10 minutes! It’s an amazing service for semi-urgent care that does not need to go to hospital."
"There are plenty other priority primary care centers, go to another one. This is based on the doctor's (Dr Youssef) bedside manner, or lack thereof, and his dismissive misogynistic attitude towards my wife. Earlier on in the day my wife had taken our toddler to our family GP but his condition had deteriorated that evening so we took our toddler to this centre for the first time. We chose this centre even though it was not the closest to us due to good google reviews. We were seen by two doctors, one with a mask (presumably student doctor) and Dr Youssef (mask-less). Two times my wife spoke up and both times were shut down and dismissed by Dr Youssef. I have a teaching background while my wife works in healthcare and is the primary carer of our son. After a quick examination the two doctors left the room. Dr Youssef returns alone to give us a prescription and proceeds to tell me the instructions. I tell him "please tell this to my wife" but he points his finger at me and said "no I'm telling YOU, I will tell you again". Then we were discharged. The student doctor chased us out the door to ask what Dr Youssef had prescribed. Dr Youssef's bedside manner and his communication/teaching style leaves much to be desired. We were appalled by the misogynistic behavior of Dr Youssef and would not return as a result of this."
