    15 months I have been a client of this medical centre. After a couple visits I found a doctor who suits me well. This centre has become a lot busier over the last 4 months, I usually need to see my doctor at least twice a month due to ill health. It seems many people are as satisfied as me, hence it is so busy at times! Yes the wait time is long (approx 1 hour) but is this not the norm in Perth now days to wait at least 30 minutes even when you have an appointment?

    I like the fact that when symptoms present them self I can be seen the same day, unlike other practices where there is no appointments for days. My doctor always takes the time to listen to all my concerns, I have never felt rushed ( a first in my experience with doctors now days). This is why I return and of course it is all bulk-billed.

    So common sense dictates take something along to distract yourself while waiting your turn. There is a TV but no magazines. It is a very clean modern centre and the reception staff, practice manageress and most doctors are all civil and polite. Just a heads up that it's best to not leave seeing a doctor too late in the day as by Medicare rules any doctor is not allowed to see more than 60 patients in one shift.

    Worst dr ever. Receptionists are always friendly. That's not the problem, I don't even mind waiting that long to see a dr it's just the way dr treats you when they see you. I suggest you do not see this dr as this is the rudest dr I have ever met!

    I signed up to this to specifically write a review as i was shocked when I read the other reviews on here,I use this clinic regularly along with my partner and children and could not speak more highly of it,the receptionists are as helpful as can they can be and the drs I have come across have been great one in particular I will happily wait to see. On my most recent visit it was a complication with my pregnancy and I was seen by a dr and received an emergency ultra sound within 30mins and it was all bulk billed,I had to return the next day again with complications and was seen instantly.
    I myself have had to wait up to 2 hours to be seen when the clinic is very busy but this is to be expected when you don't need an appointment,this clinic has everything under one roof(GPs,dentists,ultrasounds,xrays,physio,pathology and a very impressive treatment room) its bulk billed and with a pharmacy just round the corner it's great and suits my needs perfectly.
    My advice is if you don't want to wait and it's not an emergency call ahead and see how many drs are in and how many people are waiting or just go find a clinic that takes appointments.

    I went to this clinic as I was recommended by a friend. The clinic itself is nice and the receptionists are very friendly, but I literally waited 2 hours to see a doctor. You'd think maybe 3:30 on a Thursday wouldn't be that busy, but they had 33 people waiting and only 2 doctors available. There's no magazines etc to read while you wait, so definately take your own entertainment because you'll be there for a while. Finally saw the doctor, he'd probably had a long busy day, but after waiting 2 hours, I think I deserved some helpful advice. I left feeling very disappointed. I wouldn't recommend this clinic. The only upside is its bulk billing.

    Even though this is a walk in (no appointment necessary), modern, bulk billed centre, the rest 'most' of the doctors will leave you. One Dr in particular....
    Dr is dis-interestede, looks like it is a chore to be there and when you want some reassurance or information; forget it, Dr is like a blank canvas. Is not worth a free invoice, certainly not a wait of over an hour. There is however a really good Dr there, Dr now there is a decent, normal bed side manner. Just hope that place can keep Dr. Something needs to give there? The front office staff are generally nice however seem confused a lot and the closing hours although stating till 10pm most nights, will be subject to change!

    I've tried to see a doctor twice in the last three weeks at this medical centre and on both occasions I've been turned away. Both times were in the evening, 7pm and 9pm, and the same reason was given: "the doctor is no longer accepting patients today." If the management of the centre are unable to secure the appropriate number of doctors to staff the entirety of its advertised operating hours in a timely manner, I recommend they shorten their opening times and/or change to an appointment system. In either case, they need to stop wasting their clients' time.

    Majority of the doctors are always grumpy / rude and half the time it seems they don't even know what they're doing. Last time I waited approx 1.5 hrs to see a doctor, who told me to see the nurse and that nurse was still available, and when I got to the nurse told me was finished for the night (all I needed was a swab which takes 2 seconds). The least I can say is I was infuriated and the nurse was extremely rude and unprofessional. The only thing this 'medical centre' is good for is bulk billing- though to be honest I'd rather just pay the fee elsewhere than have to wait over an hour.

    Only joined true local so I could write this quick review. I've been going to this medical centre since I moved out of home as it is a bonus that you can bulk bill. Depending on what doctor you get (as you can choose a certain one or the next available depending on how long you wish to wait) the experience here does vary. I went in the other week as my Gutate psoriasis had flared up again and I needed a referal to get into the dermatologist. The first took me into his office examined it for not even a minute told me it was a 'stress rash' and to come back in a month if it had not cleared up. Was in and out of his office within 2 minutes. Not looked after well at all!. A week later I went back as it got worse and this was a Sunday. Another doctor was the next available - he spent half an hour discussing with me the type of psoriasis I had. Gave me everything I required (even a referral) to keep it at bay until my appointment with the dermatologist. its been a week now and it has cleared up SO well. So depending on the doctor you get I say its a good cheap quick emergency centre. you CAN choose which doctor you wish to see and from now on I will continue going back to that second doctor at that centre.

    I have joined this purely to post a review, this medical centre is the worst place I have ever been, rude doctors, one in particular avoids actual physical contact with people, finds children disgusting in particular. One trick pony with prescribing antibiotics for everything, no further investigation required. Useful only for this purpose, make sure you follow up with a proper doctor. BUT incident today was the doozy that I feel compelled to share as a community service. Went in to see a doctor after waiting the minimum 45 minutes. I had booked both my children in for government required 4 year old health check. One is 5, and other is 3and a half, turning four in this financial year (I have a letter which states he must also have one ). I told the girls at the desk this is what we were doing and they said thats fine. Well, I get in and that doctor says he cant do it not enough time. And cant do my 3 1/2 yr old anyway as he is too young (he is wrong). But he relents and will do my five yr old. He says he will also check my 31/2 yr old but not for the government health check (I have no idea why as he was not sick). He grabbed him roughly by the head making both me and my son cry out. I asked the doctor to be gentle with him as I dont need my son being scared of going to the doctors. The doctor continues examining him in a brisk manner for approx 30 secs. No idea why. Then examined my five year old in similar brisk manner, when he asked about problems I explained she has stomach pains and occasional skin rashes. Neither of which he was interested in. Cant imagine this was the intention of the health check when no action or interest is taken in actual health problems. I know that these doctors are particularly terrible and have been there for the last time. As I was leaving the doctor told me that I should tell the girls at the desk not only that this appointment was for a health check but also that they need to check with a doctor, that I cant accept that they say its ok as "I am not a servant".!!!! Bulk billing= second class citizen. Prepare to be humiliated, ignored, neglected and worse off if you dont get yourself a second opinion from a proper doctor.

      I have used this centre twice now, both times when my own doctor had no appointments for 2 weeks! I have been so impressed with the help I have had and the facilities, I can't recommend them highly enough as an 'emergency' service and all at bulk billing! I'm not so sure I would use them as my regular practice as I do like the ability to book with a particular Dr but if I need medication sooner rather than later this practice really fills a need.
