Professor Michael Dickinson

Haematologist

2 & 1/2 weeks ago I was someone who had lost 10 kg of weight without trying to. But otherwise no obvious symptoms and I'd say that I felt "90% OK". GP ordered an ultrasound of the abdomen, which very quickly (the same day) escalated to a CT scan which showed I had Lymphoma. My GP got in touch with Professor Dickinson the next day and within a couple of days he had called me to discuss - on Easter Saturday! He arranged for me to be admitted to Cabrini on Easter Monday for a couple of days of tests, scans & biopsies. He visited me on "Easter Tuesday" where he went through the basics of what my situation was, what I could expect, probable treatment and so on. So 1 week after I saw the GP with no illness that I was aware of, I was receiving detailed information. I am a "catastrophizer", and was fearing the worst during that week. But to have Professor Dickinson explain what I had and what lies ahead gave me some peace of mind. In my case my Lymphoma is not as bad as these things can be, but the important thing was I KNEW what I was facing and what lay ahead. KNOWING is the critical thing.

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.

Dr Simon Nothman

Fertility Doctor, Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I recently visited Dr Simon Nothman and found the experience genuinely informative and reassuring. The consultation felt thorough and thoughtful, with a strong emphasis on clearly explaining the available options and ensuring I understood them fully. What stood out most was the sense of optimism throughout the discussion. Rather than feeling overwhelmed, I left with a clearer understanding of the path forward and confidence that there are multiple approaches to consider. There was also a real forum for open discussion, where questions were welcomed and different viewpoints could be explored and respectfully challenged. It felt like a collaborative conversation rather than a one-way consultation, which made a meaningful difference. Overall, I felt well supported and in very good hands, with a genuine sense of care and attentiveness throughout the visit.

Dr Joel Rabindran

General Surgeon

I had an appointment with Dr Rabindran today and couldn’t be more impressed with the level of care I received. From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely listened to and supported. Dr Rabindran took the time to thoroughly understand my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines such professionalism with genuine compassion and patience. I never felt rushed, and all of my questions were answered in a way that was easy to understand. I left the appointment feeling reassured, confident, and very grateful to be in such capable hands. I would highly recommend Dr Rabindran to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and attentive Bariatric doctor.

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 Andrew Chong

General Surgeon

Dr. Chong performed my gastric sleeve surgery and I was absolutely thrilled with his work and the outcome. He was professional, extremely thorough, and genuinely caring from our very first consultation. He took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions with patience, and made me feel completely at ease before surgery. The results have truly changed my life. I feel healthier, more confident, and deeply grateful for the care and precision Dr. Chong showed throughout my journey. His skill and compassion are second to none, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering bariatric surgery.

Dr Kostas Syrrakos

General Surgeon

Dr Kostas provided an exceptional experience from start to finish. I felt well informed at every stage, which made a significant difference in easing any nerves I had going into surgery. His calm and confident manner immediately put me at ease, and I always felt that I was in very capable hands. There is a level of reassurance that comes from being treated by someone who clearly knows exactly what they are doing, and that was evident throughout. The entire process felt considered, professional, and genuinely supportive. I am very grateful for the care I received and would not hesitate to recommend him.

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.

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.

Coastwide Eye Surgery - Tuggerah

Ophthalmology

Overall experience from initial consultation, guidance through to surgery and follow up post surgery could not have been better. Ladies at the desk, staff at the Day Hospital were wonderful. All contributed in enabling my experience one which I would happily do again. I thank all involved, especially Dr Douglas Parker for encouragement and guidance throughout.

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.

The Newland Street Specialist Clinic

Roland was friendly, approachable and was genuinely interested in getting my blood sugar levels under control. After discussing how my treatment was progressing he suggested a slight change to my current dosages.and to continue monitoring results.

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

The Glen Endoscopy Centre

Gastroenterology
