Receptionist Staff are very friendly, but they did fail to let me know that the doctor I was seeing, Doctor NG, does not bulk bill for children. Had I known that, or rather been informed, I would have gone elsewhere as my daughter only had a niggling concern. After our 8 min appointment had ended I was informed by the above said staff that it would be $144 (as both my daughter and I had brief issues for the doctor- mine was a referral). When I asked why I wasn't informed that the doctor bulk billed (as the last time I was there, he had), there was a lot of silence and then, "well not all doctors charge the same, I didn't know your daughter was so young" etc etc etc. Please. The charges are inconsistent (in another case I had needed a script renewal - one doctor didn't charge for the consultation, the next time I got a different doctor and he did). I guess the point to this long winded review is be prepared to be ripped off, have inconsistent charges put upon you and I guess ask upfront before you show up, even if you are having the same appointment as last time, if your doctor charges. We definately WON'T be going back and I am telling as many people as possible to do the same.

Approximate cost: $144
