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 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 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

Australian Cardiovascular Specialists

Cardiology

The cardiologist was excellent. My beef is with the front desk staff. I was left standing unacknowledged for a considerable time! One looked at me for a second and resumed whatever she was doing. After some more considerable time, the eldest muttered something about “ they will attend to me soon “. Eventually the third called me to attend to my appointment. Just because they work for highly qualified medical professionals does not place them above the patients. If they are seated at a reception desk, they need to be trained in basic customer service towards the patients, their customers.

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.

Professor David Gyorki

General Surgeon

I was feeling apprehensive about my visit to the Cancer Specialists clinic last week. Upon arrival I was made to feel welcome by the 2 lovely ladies at the front desk and they both contribute to the warm and friendly environment of the reception/ waiting area. My consultation with Prof David Gyorki removed a lot of my anxiety. Dr Gyorki is very personable and has a friendly demeanour which helped put my mind at ease. I highly recommend this Cancer Specialists clinic. Alan

Professor Peter Silburn

Neurologist

Professor Silburn has been treating me for 10 years , has always been very professional and supportive, he shows an interest in you as a person so you don’t feel like just a number. He has away of distracting you by conversation so I hardly feel the injections. He is always willing to listen to any health issues. Professor Silburn is an amazing human without his help over the years I would hate to think where I would be as far as my health goes .

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!

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.

Brilliant Being

Endocrinology, Medical Weight Loss

I received excellent service. My appointment was to check on the progress of my diabetes treatment. 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

A/Prof Chris Mills

Gastroenterologist

Post op info from Chris was good, only was wanting to know if pathology results were available when received. Rang his rooms about this and there was confusion about results and if I wanted a follow-up appointment which wasn't requested by Chris. I left this as I decided to follow-up with my GP.
