This is a great Medical Practice. I've seen at least 4 of their GP's and they are all fantastic. Everything under one roof - nurses for vaccinations, blood tests with Melbourne Pathology, plus naturopaths, etc... The best feature is that some of the GP's offer after-hours service til 8pm on weeknights, and on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Approximate cost: $65

This review is for Costco, Docklands VIC

Costco is worth the $60 membership just for the "larger than life" shopping experience! (Even the trollies are super-sized!)
Definitely worth going to for:
- Meat and seafood: reportedly very good quality and reasonably priced (but in min. 1kg serves)
- Toilet paper: I always stock up here and buy 60 rolls at a time (!) - one less thing to think about buying when I'm at the supermarket - plus very cheap
- American junk food: huge range, if you're into it
In terms of the prices - as another review stated, many item prices are the same or not much better than what you'd get in a Coles or Safeway catalogue. E.g. I bought 14 bars of Dove soap at Costco thinking that I'd picked up a bargain, only to see it listed at the same price per unit in another supermarket's catalogue (I could have saved myself from storing 13 bars of soap!) Think about your storage space at home before you make your purchases.
The range - they generally offer their own brand (Kirkland) + one or two major brands for each good, and that's it.
Best time of day to go - before midday, weekdays - very quiet, no queues.
Parking - first 2 hours is free
Again, as someone else said - a great place to visit if you're planning a large BBQ or event.

I returned to Albert Square Dental this week, for the first time in 4 years. I was impressed on many fronts - firstly, I could get an appointment within a week or two of calling, despite not having been there for a while. Secondly, I had to visit with my 5-month old baby in tow, and all of the staff were extremely friendly and patient with her. Thirdly, the dentist I saw was very clear in explaining my treatment options for a decaying tooth, with all of the pros and cons - all in plain English. I will definitely return (in less than 4 years' time!).
