Hi...this is actually a feedback for the Leichhardt Practice.

I consciously chose this practice because of potential issues with pregnancy and this being our first step in seeing a doctor after a long period of hesitation.The doctor I saw was 'nice', asking text book questions and giving me text book answers...which is fine...but being told that I need to consider losing weight to assist in pregnancy...was quite interesting...
She said my BMI was 'normal' under the "Western standards" but for an Asian I'm "considered over, therefore obese"....now for an Asian woman, the BMI supposedly should be 23? I was somewhere around 24. I don't have issues with my body image and knew since I was in my teens that my BMI will always be around 24 due to my athletic lifestyle, hence the slight built. But I just wondered if this is what would be considered a sound professional advice...to tell me that I couldn't get pregnant because I was obese according to a BMI chart? - A chart that many organisations use...but as a guide rather than basing your overall health on?
Considering I went to the practice to receive some good advice or learn something that I hadn't considered before, even as to perhaps to request for an ultra sound just to make sure...I walked out...rather gobsmacked and not knowing what to say....only to be greeted by a cold lady to take my blood test.
I have to go back to get my results and..frankly I'm not sure if I want to. Not only was that morning a waste of my precious time, (I took the morning off to go there), but also got charged $125 for about 25mins consultation.

The reception ladies were lovely though - Thank you.

Approximate cost: $125
