GastroMed Brisbane

General (Internal) Medicine, Gastroenterology, + 3 more

I attended the gastroenterology service with ongoing abdominal pain and a known history of anorexia, as well as sensitivity to medications. During my care, the approach was primarily focused on symptom management rather than investigation. I was prescribed medications including gabapentin and nortriptyline, both of which I had adverse reactions to, similar to previous experiences with medications in those classes. Due to the spacing of appointments, I often had to wait up to a month to review these reactions. Over time, treatment progressed to opioid-based management (Palexia), despite my concerns about opioids, including limited effectiveness for my pain and reluctance to increase their use. A referral to a public pain clinic was declined by the public clinic, and I was advised to consider private care, which was not financially accessible to me. I also raised that I was struggling with the cost of ongoing appointments and felt uncomfortable continuing care, particularly as I felt my anorexia history had been dismissed based on my body size. Following this, I was bulk billed for one appointment, and there were subsequent inconsistencies with billing. There were also instances where responsibility for management felt unclear, including being advised to seek medication management through another specialist, despite uncertainty about whether this would be appropriate. Communication between providers appeared fragmented at times. Since this period of care, my condition has progressed to include gallbladder removal and diagnoses of chronic pancreatitis and mesenteric panniculitis. In hindsight, I feel earlier investigation may have been beneficial. Additionally, I noticed an administrative issue where an endoscopy result addressed to the gastroenterologist was manually redirected to my GP using my last name with “Dr” in front of it, which raised some concerns about handling of correspondence. I appreciate the complexity of medical presentations and understand that not all conditions are immediately clear. My intention in providing this feedback is to highlight areas where I felt unsupported, particularly in relation to medication management, recognition of eating disorder history, continuity of care, and access to services.

Kinesis Healthcare

Dietitian, Exercise Physiology, + 7 more

I had an amazing experience with Rohan Chavan. He is truly one of the most kind, understanding, and supportive physiotherapists I’ve come across. From the very beginning, he made me feel comfortable and listened to every concern with genuine care and patience. Rohan always goes the extra mile to make sure I’m improving and feeling confident in my recovery. No matter when I needed support or guidance, he was always there with a positive attitude and encouragement. His friendly nature and warm personality make every session feel easy and motivating. What really stands out about Rohan is not just his professionalism, but his genuine kindness and dedication towards his patients. He treats you like a person, not just a case, and that makes a huge difference. I’m truly grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, patient, and highly supportive physiotherapist. Regards, Ashnel

Dr Michael Leitch

Neurophysiologist

Dr Leith was warm, personable and professional. He took time to ask about my history in relation to the nerve conduction study. He didn’t baulk when it was extensive. It was also obvious he’d taken time to read the information on my intake forms. During the test he gently explained what was happening but keep me busy with general conversation and questions. That made something that can be uncomfortable a whole lot easier. He also dealt very well with my complete lack of proprioception. I commented to another member of my medical team, that if they needed somewhere to send neurodiverse patients for a nerve conduction study, Dr Leitch and Neuroscience Queensland would be well worth considering.

Connect My Mind

Counselling, Psychology

I didn’t believe that connecting via zoom would be of any benifit, however I did find that my anxiety was not as heightened and I was lucky to get someone that I was comfortable to talk to first time round. This is very very rare and has been one of the main reasons I’ve never bothered with seeking help, as you grow tired of reliving everything you want to heel from trying to find someone your comfortable talking to. As I said I got lucky so for the first time ever I can say I had a good experience here. I’ve seeked professional help since and have not had the same luck ever again

The Osteo Centre

Osteopathy, Physiotherapy

I visited Molly Clark at the Osteo Centre for a persistent foot problem that was making walking painful. What I loved most was Molly's holistic approach; she didn't just treat my foot but looked at my entire alignment to find the root cause. After a few sessions of gentle joint mobilisation and soft tissue work, my foot feels significantly better, and my overall body tension has decreased. She also gave me great advice on footwear and some easy home exercises. Highly recommend for anyone looking for thorough, professional care!

After waiting weeks to get an appointment with another practice, Neurosciences Queensland responded to my specialists’s referral request within a few days with a confirmed appointment time. My whole experience with Neurosciences Queensland from appointment scheduling to interaction with the front desk staff and the care taken with my exam with Dr. Michael Leitch was exceptional. I would highly recommend Neurosciences Queensland to anyone and will definitely use them again if needed.
