Dr Paul Thornton-Bott Hip & Knee Orthopaedic Surgeon For many years, I lived with persistent hip and leg pain that gradually worsened to the point where I could no longer walk, sit, or stand without significant discomfort. I was hospitalised four times for pain management and was repeatedly told it was simply an arthritis “flare-up,” with strong pain medication prescribed as the only solution. For over a decade, I experienced ongoing aching, and six years ago the pain began waking me at night. In the last two years, I suffered in silence. From February 2025, I was unable to sleep for more than four hours at a time—and even that was only possible with medication. Despite seeking care through POW Hospital, I was advised to wait for the flare-up to pass. By October, the pain had become debilitating. Everyday activities—walking, sitting, even something as simple as using the bathroom—became overwhelming. Eventually, my body simply stopped allowing me to move. The pain was completely life-altering. At my lowest point, friends encouraged me to seek another opinion. That decision changed everything. I contacted East Sydney Private Hospital and spoke with Michelle, whose kindness and compassion were evident from the very first call. She listened, acted quickly, and arranged for me to see Dr Paul Thornton-Bott that same day. From the moment I met Dr Thornton-Bott, I felt reassured. He was humble, thorough, and honest. He didn’t overpromise, but he clearly explained that a hip replacement could relieve my pain. For the first time in years, I felt heard—and more importantly, I felt hope. Michelle coordinated all necessary imaging and documentation seamlessly, and the entire pre-operative process was exceptionally well organised. I always knew what was required, and communication from both the hospital and Michelle was outstanding. I am now two weeks post-surgery, and I can say with absolute certainty: I have no hip pain. I can walk, sit, and stand without the debilitating discomfort that once defined my daily life. While there is some mild post-operative soreness, it is minimal and entirely expected—it is nothing compared to what I endured before. I only wish I had pursued this surgery sooner. Dr Paul Thornton-Bott is an exceptional surgeon, supported by a highly skilled team, including outstanding anaesthetists and specialists. You are treated as an individual—not a number—and your care is directly managed by him throughout the process. This is not a paid review—simply my genuine experience. I would not hesitate to return to Dr Thornton-Bott for future treatment, and my husband will also be seeking his care for a knee replacement. If you are living with chronic pain, please know there are options. You do not have to live this way. 10/10.

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

Mugga Wara Endoscopy Centre

Gastroenterology

The nurse who did my admission was not friendly and didn't complete the checklist properly. She ticked no to the question about hypertension even though I said had high blood pressure, and she then just ticked no for all the other questions without asking me any of them. She really didn't seem to want to be there or care about doing her job professionally. After my procedure the same nurse came and asked if I had finished my sandwich and drink and when I said I hadn't she picked up the tray anyway and then stood over me until I quickly finished my juice. She then told me to go and sit in a recliner. When I stood up I was quite dizzy and almost fell over. She was a short woman wearing glasses and a face mask. I don't know her name. The other nurses were excellent - friendly and professional.

Fertility North

Fertility Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I’ve given my experience the highest ratings. The reason for this is because the staff were all super friendly and helpful with my appointments. The Clinic was clean and professional, and the staff ensured privacy when dealing with sensitive information. The Lab Staff were very helpful with explaining everything and the results following the appointments as well. I should note that there was ‘Technical Difficulties’ within some of the rooms, but this didn’t cause any issues for me, it’s more just to point them out.

Brisbane South Private Hospital

Gynaecology, Dentistry, + 6 more

I waited overcan hour in the prep room in a chair by the door. I asked the attendant when I would proceed to the next step. She said the doctor was having lunch adding that she told the other people in chairs by the window and that I was there then! I was to have cataract surgery and could not wear my hearing aids .... ! perhaps she needs to make sure everyone hears her. I've absolutely no issues with the doctor having a lunch break but why slot someone in for 12:40 surgery when it was to be over an hour later?

Dr Swati Mukherjee

Cardiologist

Dr Swati is very professional and knowledgeable. She referred me for a Coronary Angiogram. I was unsure if I'd had this exact procedure before. I now believe I hadn't and found it a bit of an ordeal. This is not the Doctor's fault but a little more explanation of how the angiogram was to be conducted would have been helpful in my planning on the day, as the hospital was 75kms away and I required transportation to and from.

Dr Anmar Mariud

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I was referred to Dr. Maruid by my gynaecologist just a few days before my hysterectomy, and I truly feel it was a blessing. From the start, he was professional, caring, and reassuring. He performed my surgery with great skill, and I felt safe and confident in his care the entire time. I’m so thankful to have had him as my surgeon and wouldn’t want anyone else. I highly recommend Dr. Maruid.

Dr Joshua Hammerschlag

Josh is great surgeon. His approach to the situation and understanding of the likely medical issues before surgery was excellent and he was able to communicate in a very calm manner to put the patient at ease. The operation was also successful and the recovery is tracking ahead of schedule thanks to Josh’s guidance and post surgery care.
