I am writing this review on one particular doctor and not the medical centre as I am very very happy with all other aspects of the centre. My gripe is with Dr Zhong Xiong Wang. I have taken my son to see him a couple of times and I have been upset with his bedside manner.

On the last appointment, I went to get a spot checked on my sons head because it looked like it was getting bigger and darker and he refused to look at it and said "you have no proof that it is changing. Come back when you have the photos to prove it." He was also really eager to see another patient and kept on looking out the door to see if the patient was there. He spoke so fast because he wanted to finish with me to see someone else that I didn't understand half of what he was saying and he was out the door before I could ask any questions.

He also recommended that I put my baby to sleep in the car seat (capsule) at night to help with his cough. This is not recommended by the SIDS foundation because it increases the risk of SIDS. I can not believe he recommended this!!!

He also also said to me as I entered the room without even looking at my son "Oh I know what the problem is here, you are a first time mum" but actually I was referred to the doctor by the maternal health nurse.

As you can tell I am furious with this doctors behaviour and recommend that nobody see him!!! It was a complete waste of time and tax payers money because I then had to go and see another doctor to get some answers.

Sincerely,

Unimpressed
