Dr Stephen Cole

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I cannot recommend Dr. Stephen Cole and his team highly enough. If I choose to have more children, I will absolutely return without hesitation. The midwife assigned to guide me through pregnancy planning (Linsey) was so supportive and spent time to prepare me for birth and breastfeeding. She was very responsive via message and phone to support all my queries along the way. It was very comforting to have her there. I am very grateful and won't forget the great help she gave me. The administration team (Eliza and CJ) were always so thoughtful and helped keep my child entertained during appointments. They did help reduce stress by booking appointments and highlight what is required from me. The physiotherapist (Laura) was very informative, detailed and takes the time to explain her analysis. I did appreciate her honest explanations. I will continue to work with her towards recovery. From the very beginning, it was clear that Dr. Cole is not only compassionate and responsive but also a highly experienced and exceptionally skilled obstetrician. Throughout my pregnancy, he was empathetic, informative, and always quick to address any concerns — often calling me back almost immediately when I reached out through the emergency number. Dr Cole was always open to my many questions and answered without any judgement. His bedside manner was great. When it came time to proceed with a caesarean due to a medical condition, he was incredibly reassuring and gave me full confidence in my decision. Dr Cole was very supportive and helped to ease my nerves before surgery. The surgery itself was flawless for both myself and my baby — remarkably fast, painless, and with a scar that is barely noticeable. It was evident that I was in the hands of a true expert. Additionally, I appreciated his post surgery visit to check in on me and his advice to support my recovery going home with baby. Just 7 days post-surgery, I am recovering smoothly, and any discomfort has been easily managed with the prescribed pain relief. I am deeply grateful for Dr. Cole’s outstanding care, expertise, and skill.

A/Prof Homi Zargar

Urologist

Homi has just conducted a Rezum procedure (alternative to TURP) for BEP and it has all gone very well indeed. Rezum is a relatively new procedure and not many urologists do it. My previous urologist refused to do it on the basis that, after the pre-op exploratory, I contracted a UTI which indicated possible prostatitis. He explained that this would make Rezum more risky because the steam would provide an ideal environment to grow and in nasty cases, could result in septicaemia. Homi spoke to that urologist then rang me to assure me that in his view, the risk was minimal and could be managed with antibiotics. I have provided this background because I was very worried about the operation and I found Homi to be incredibly empathetic, he explained everything very clearly to me and gave me the confidence to go ahead. I'm presently three days in from the operation and everything is fine, no pain as such and no UTI/Sepsis :) Homi is a genuine and likeable guy and based on my personal experience, a very good surgeon. I would recommend him to anyone for this procedure.

5 stars Very professional process, Professor Rosman, Asks how I am going, specifically any changes in how I am feeling since last visit.

Dr Kim Latendresse

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Dr Kim Latendresse is incredible! From initial consultation through to surgery and beyond Dr Latendresse’ service never failed to come across as genuine and caring. My thumb joint replacement surgery with an implant. Has been amazingly successful. The actual surgery is quite new to Australia so so it was quite exciting and daunting at the same time. However, the surgery and the care that I received was superb. Dr. Latendresse’ support team and those that he chooses to work with him in surgery are equally as caring too. All instructions were clearly set out, including the aftercare which included the hand clinic. Today after just six weeks I got the thumbs up all the exercises and advice paid off thank you Dr. Latendresse, it’s wonderful not to have the arthritis pain anymore!

Brisbane South Private Hospital

Urology, Gynaecology, + 7 more

Toe surgury. Was overall easy experience. Felt comfortable. I'm not really "used to" paying for stuff like this but it was worth it. One thing I will say though when I was being sent through the back rooms waiting for surgury I remember there was a song on the radio overhead and at the time I thought hey this is this song I know, and I was listening to the lyrics and I thought it had some different lyrics at the time. I went home and looked up the song I thought I remembered and the lyrics hadn't changed, it was likely just the nerves I was experiencing at the time. The hospital was clean and friendly, parking a little tough but we got there early enough for it to not be a problem.

Dr Nicolas De Luca

Gastroenterologist

Dr De Luca has a deeply empathetic manner. His calm approach allays concerns and inspires confidence. Practice nurse Natalie is thorough, extremely personable and an excellent communicator. Anaesthetist DrRaymond Nassar meticulously checked my history and this made me feel reassured and relaxed. He was friendly and composed. Theatre nurse Natalie was obviously very experienced and was comforting and caring. I received a phone call to ensure that I was recovering well. This was greatly appreciated. The follow up appointment was on time, and the results delivered in a clear, reassuring manner. A great patient experience.

Coastwide Eye Surgery - Tuggerah

Ophthalmology

From start to finish the entire procedure was very smooth, the staff at the practice were both efficient and friendly. The Wyong hospital staff made you feel very reassured and relaxed, in fact my blood pressure was perfect(no white coat syndrome) and that has to be a first. Dr. Townsend was both quick and efficient and I cannot speak highly enough of him and the entire surgical team. My outcome after the removal of my cataracts is beyond anything I could have hoped for.

Dr Cheng He

He thoroughly explained everything not only to me but also took the time to call and explain to my family! His bedside manner is Gold Star!!! I have to say that I have had no pain in my chest or sternum since the op which amazes me -I am on day 10…. His calm, caring manner put all of us at ease in this worrying time!!

My imaging tests were very intensive and conclusive. Even though my pain and discomfort will not be resolved with surgery at this time, I totally respect Dr Finch's professional medical opinion and welcomed me to return should the nerve pain escalate. Dr Finch reassured me with informed communication relating to my condition which was necessary for me to process and resolve going forward.

Dr Sharma was professional, precise and honest in all my appointments with him. He has a lovely calm bed side manner which helped me a lot. I was very impressed with the result of carpal tunnel surgery and his follow up opinion with my ongoing health issues. I would have great confidence in seeing him again if ever need and will happily refer others to consider consulting with him.

EyeClinic Albury Wodonga

Ophthalmology

The staff were fabulous however I did wait a very long time to be seen and I did have an appointment so was not expecting to wait so long, however they were very understanding when I asked if they would be much longer as I had not eaten and was susceptible to severe headaches and they were very accommodating and allowed me to duck out and have something to eat and drink.
