In Focus Radiology - Cessnock

Imaging (Scans), Radiology, + 1 more

It's hard to answer the overall experience question. I wasn't sure whether to factor in the pain of the procedure so I left it out of the equation. The pain is something that is unavoidable. Everything else was five stars, from the bedside manner of the doctor, to the nurses/attendants and front desk staff. Everyone was friendly and your place is in a convenient location. I have had seven visits to your radiology rooms now and it was really great that this time you were able to fit me in for a scam in the day and the injection the following day. Normally you are a lot busier so that was a nice surprise. The only other thing I could possibly mention is the driveway into your premises. I know now, of course, but those who don't, could easily scrape the bottom of their car duep to the severe dip as you go in. Perhaps a sign on the gate as you go in would be a good idea to warn customers.

Maryvale Private Hospital

Gastroenterology, Gynaecology, + 19 more

Went in for colonoscopy and gastroscopy. Admission preparation perfect. Surgeon Dr Nair . Took it upon himself to band 3 haemorrhoids. I was told 3 to 24 hours of discomfort. Discharged with no pain relief. Put up with heap of discomfort and broken sleep for far to long before I took action to manage my discomfort. 5 days later is the first time I have been able to work. As a Dairyfarmer who was roster to work 24 after procedure. It put immense pressure on my young daughter to take my place on the farm forcing her to work 16 hour days. So in summary I'm extremely disappointed in how I was allowed to leave Maryvale hospital without being informed and armed with medication for my recovery. It has been extremely disruptive to my farm business.

Dr Assad Zahid

General Surgeon

I recently visited this clinic for several ongoing but benign rectal concerns, and I had a very positive experience. The doctor was professional, respectful, and took the time to thoroughly understand my symptoms without making me feel rushed or uncomfortable. What stood out most was their clear communication—they explained everything in a straightforward and reassuring way, which really helped ease my concerns. The examination was handled with care and sensitivity, and I felt I was in capable hands throughout the entire process. The clinic itself was clean, well-organized, and the staff were friendly and efficient I would definitely recommend him to other patients who are experiencing similar problems

Dr Doug Parker

Ophthalmologist

My personal experience was extremely positive, and I was delighted with the outcome as was Dr Doug Parker. Dr Doug Parker took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure and set clear expectations regarding the results. I felt well supported and cared for throughout the entire process, from initial consultation through to surgery at The Day Hospital. My post operative appointment was equally thorough. The entire team, including front desk staff and those working behind the scenes both in the office and hospital, were professional and supportive at every stage. I highly recommend Coastwide Eye Surgery and The Day Hospital for any eye procedures.

Dr Huw Williams

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Dr Williams was very good at explaining the procedure and what to expect regarding recovery and hospital stay. I found Dr Williams very approachable and he was happy to answer all my questions. This helped to alleviate some of my fears and apprehension. I felt that Dr Williams instilled a sense of professionalism and knowledge which found me leaving the consult with no doubt but to proceed. The whole experience from the initial phone call with Tania right through the procedure, hospital stay and my recovery at home was seamless and problem free.

Mugga Wara Endoscopy Centre

Gastroenterology

The staff at the centre were all awesome🙏 My only issue is that after the procedure I got ‘Post-procedural Rhinitis After Intravenous Sedation With Supplemental Nasal Oxygen, or PRAISE SNOG’. Could I suggest your nurses are trained further in this so they can give patients advice before they leave if it happens to them. I was sneezing consistently before I left, so it was pretty obvious I had it. And now I know more, there are ways to minimise the impact, that I would have appreciated knowing earlier.

Dr Karen Paice

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

We had a such wonderful experience under the caring and thorough care of Dr Karen Paice, who safely delivered our daughter in January. Dr Paice never made us feel rushed during appointments and always answered all our questions. It is clear that Dr Paice is an exceptional obstetrician that genuinely cares for her patients — there is no doubt that we’ll be back for baby number 2! Thank you so much Karen and the wonderful staff at Specialists145.

Dr. Mccawley (Mac) Clark-Dickson

Gastroenterologist

Dr (Mac) Clark-Dickson is one of the few drs I’ve come across who is accepting and knowledgeable about the mind/body/spirit dynamics (not woohoo but actual robust science). As such, he is able to have much better insights for deeper diagnosis and treatments. He has a kind, patient and collegiate style of interaction which is soothing and calming for the patient. His training is comprehensive and up to date.

Northern Gastroenterology

Gastroenterology

After switching to Dr Steve Tattersall in 2017, I never thought to leave a review. I just assumed everybody in the know recognised he was the best gastroenterologist in Sydney (maybe Australia?). His knowledge, care, bedside manner and connections are excellent. The staff are great and always treat me well. The treatments I have had have made a huge difference. Thank you team.

PSYCH2U

Psychiatry, Psychology

I personally like coviu for the convenience, living far from the city. It worked well for me. The only trouble was that my Psychologist was new to it and we had to have our appointment over the phone at first. She also takes leave and sick days without letting me know, which had me worried about why there wasn’t a next appointment. I phoned PSYCH2U and they sorted it out for me!

Dr Andrew Gray

General Surgeon

The process from beginning to end was seamless. I could not fault anything. Andy made me feel at ease with his calm and gentle demeanour. All of the other staff I encountered were equally as kind, reception, admissions and nursing staff. Shout out to Dr Hanna the anaesthetist for distracting me with his quirky stories. Overall very happy with the experience.

Dr David Ross

Plastic Surgeon

David has always presented as a very knowledgeable and honest Surgeon. I chose him because of his experience. I saw him for 2 operations and he made a plan with. me and we worked together so I could achieve my expectations but sensibly. We spread out my tummy tuck and breast lift. My gut feeling was right and I am so happy with David and my body

Northern Endoscopy Centre

Gastroenterology

Nurses and Doctors friendly and efficient, giving chance to ask questions.. Very happy with the care. It would be good to receive an email of the histology report rather than have to ask the GP for that report. No wait time which was great Just needed a little more time before getting dressed as felt unstable Otherwise excellent service

Newcastle Surgical Group

General Surgery, Weight Loss & Bariatric Surgery

Belinda and Dr Morris are highly recommended. It's sometimes hard to get through to the office and there is a recorded message which says the delay is due to a large number of calls and the office is busy, please send an email. This did not give me confidence in being and to be treated in a timely manner and I did consider going somewhere else.

Centre for Women's Ultrasound

Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Ultrasonography

Tehani is honestly the kindest clinician - I even wish she could be at my birth! She is just so incredibly supportive and caring towards patients. I know I’m in good hands whenever I have a scan with her. Dr Indika is absolutely incredible and we love her. The services at CFWU is gold standard compared to what you get elsewhere. Katie D.

Dr Shannon Cooper

General Surgeon

Dr Cooper is excellent at explaining the when, why & how of my treatment, and answering my questions. I am thankful for how kind and professional Dr Cooper is. I felt confident about my surgical procedure and what to expect in my recovery. He has made going through breast cancer less daunting for me and my family.
