Definitely not the fresh food people in this store! Out of date product, rude, young cashiers that can't pack food to save themselves. Long waits. I'm local but won't go there any more.

Approximate cost: $300.00

Staff are extremely helpful and they always have some specials or deals going there so you can save some money. I have show dogs and always buy top quality and to save $50 on occasion is great! The staff are always smiling and giving me a big hello when I visit with my dogs.

Approximate cost: $100.00

This review is for Animal Care, Cranbourne VIC

Avril has been my vet for about 20 years and I will follow her anywhere! She has saved many of my "best friends", her compassion and passion about caring for animals is second to none. When my dog was 2, he had a reaction to medication (previously unheard of - well 3 documented cases in the world up until then), I knew Avril stayed awake at night trying to figure out what it could be because she would call me in the morning asking if I had certain plants growing in the yard etc. With her dedication and tenacity to do every test known to man (and dog!), and then sending us off to see a specialist to do more tests, my "best friend" lived and the specialist told me it was a miracle and I should buy a tatts ticket!. Sarj has just had his 10th birthday! I live 1/2 hr away now but will always go to her first. The staff are just wonderful and genuinely care.

Every time I walk in there I am pounced upon by an over eager sales person! If you specifically ask for something you want or ask for medication they ask very detailed questions and then insist that you buy something completely different. Every time this has happened I have been unhappy with the result and have to go back and ask again for what I originally wanted to purchase. It's taken a while and a whole lot of extra purchases but I'm onto them now and will walk out with nothing rather than listen to them insist I buy something I don't want. Unfortunately they are very handy to where I live and are open on weekends or I would go anywhere else. Beware of over friendly sales people selling you rubbish!!

Approximate cost: $30-$100

Have had concrete delivered a few times. You have to be prepared to wait around for them to arrive or sometimes they come much earlier!!! Driver is always friendly and helpful. Will order again from them next time. Have also ordered roses from their farm.

Approximate cost: $350.00

Very professional approach and Dr Robbie has helped with my back problems. It is a little like a production line with patients using 3 different rooms but he is quick and efficient so your time there isn't long.

Approximate cost: $50.00

I regularly buy feed and horse equipment from here. Very friendly staff who give great service. Can be a little pricey at times but then you often get a discount if you are buying quite a bit!

Great meals every time and well priced, with very friendly staff. I've tried every fish and vegetarian option and love them all. My partner loves the steak and we both order the chocolate mousse every time! Sensational. Can be very noisy as they tend to have lots of functions on Sat night but if you want a night off from cooking I highly recommend it!

Approximate cost: $20-$25

This review is for St Antony Medical Centre, Pakenham VIC

Waiting times 1 hour + every time. I've been there a few times because it's so local but not any more. Doctors don't listen to you and don't even examine. Eg: I had stomach pain so had my blood pressure tested because he could do that from where he was sitting and he didn't even get out of the chair to look any further at me. Pathology is very handy but not when the Doctor forgets to ask for certain (normal) tests and they have to be re-done. Appauling service. One Doctor kept running out of the room to check on someone else in another room in the middle of my appointment!!! I would rather pay out of pocket expense for professional service. I won't be going back.

This review is for Tim's Reblocking, Mooroolbark VIC

verified email - 30 Nov 2011

We had a very old weatherboard house reblocked by Tim. The house had sunk substantially and needed to have all the floors ripped up to lift the house. Tim was completely professional and kept me up to date on any problems incurred. The house was done on time which was very important because we couldn't move in until the work was finished. Highly recommend them. Also quite a bit cheaper than another quote I had!

Approximate cost: $12500.00
