AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Patients say the staff at Upper GI Surgery are friendly. They explain things and help with paper forms. Reviews say clinic rooms are nice and nearby parking is easy. Many mention these simple steps for weight management.
I have been a patient of Professor Talbot’s for a while now and I have always felt well informed about my treatment. Reception staff have always been supportive.
The staff were very generous in resolving an issue with my referral and dealing with them was a pleasure. Doctor Daniel Chan then saw me and the whole experience was dealt with very professionally, and all aspects of my current position and a pathway forward were very clearly articulated.
It was my first time seeing Proff Talbot. Very nice person. I found him to be very down to earth and gives you the truth. He explained things as well and I walked out feeling relieved
All good, the doctor and the receiptionists are very nice!
Excellent experience in all areas. Karen in Wollongong is so friendly and is a delight. Miss Dr Yee though but all in all a great experience.
