Apart from often having to wait ages for your appointment (as the doctor's are running behind), the Ormond Medical Centre is a fantastic place to receive medical treatment.

My daughter started at the creche this year and we have been very happy with the care she has received. The carers in the room are very friendly and obviously care about the children they are looking after. The creche serves plenty of healthy and fresh food every day so there's no need to bring your own. And they supply nappies for the younger children.

The practice is located in a purpose built place and is very modern - including tv screens on the roof so you can watch while your teeth are being examined. The staff are all very friendly. In the last 1-2 years they have introduced more dental hygenists so that you have your appointments with them for normal teeth cleaning and then the dentist comes in towards the end to give your teeth a quick check. I think they do this so they can charge more! It's not a cheap visit to this dentist even if you're only going for a clean.

I have had both eat in and take away food from here and it is always consistently good. The price is average for what you'd pay for good thai food.

The food is consistently good quality and fresh. They make great Sushi platters for parties (at reasonable prices). They always have lots of staff working so that you don't have to wait too long to be served.

The food is very tasty however we ordered curry puffs and half of them were still cold in the middle. Then when it came to the main meal, my husband found a hair in his dish. The menu is not like your typical Thai restaurant as it doesn't have all the old favourites on it.
We also ordered a dish and asked if it could be made less spicy but when it came out i could barely eat it as it was so spicy.
On Fridays, Saturdays and Public holidays they have a note in their menu saying it is a minumum of $35 per head. Their food is on the expensive side for Thai food (considering the serving sizes are small) so you can easily reach the minimum if you order an entree, main and a drink.

I have shopped here many times as they have great specials on health and beauty products. Their pharmacy section needs a lot of improvement.
I went there to get a prescription filled and they didn't have it in stock so told me to leave the prescription there and they would phone me when it came in. I waited 4 days and didn't receive a phone call so i went in there and was given a lower dose of the drug i was after (as i needed it filled straight away by this stage). And i was told just to take several pills to make up the required dose. Then after another week i received a phone call from them saying my initial prescription could be filled. I told them i no longer required it as i'd been given the lower dose.
Anyway, once the new packet of pills was nearing its end i went to another pharmacy to get the repeat prescription filled only to be told i didn't have both sheets of the prescription and had to go back to Chemist Warehouse to get it. So i went there and the pharmacist said that it had been filed away and she would look for it and phone me when she found it. It has been another 4 days and i am still waiting for a phone call back. It is just lucky i had another prescription of the same medicine so that i could go to another pharmacy to get it filled!

I have been here many times as it is walking distance from my home. The have a huge range of pantry products and also a lot of ready made meals that you just heat up at home. The lamb shawamas are amazing!

I purchased a small jaffa cake to serve for afternoon tea when i had family coming over. It was great to know i didn't have to order the cake in advance and could just pick it up on the day i needed it. The cake was very moist and tasty and i have had the same cake in the past at a friend's place and it tasted exactly the same.
I agree with barbaram3 that the range of cakes for sale could be extended.

We recently used Sandscan to sand and polish our floors after we ripped up the carpet. They did a very bad job at the preparation and left sections that were not filled in properly. The sanding was not done consistently as you could feel the ridges between the floorboards, they did not sand all the way to the skirting and they didn't sand off addional putty that they dropped on the floor.
As the floors had previously been polished in sections by the old property owner it meant our floors were different shades. When i complained about the different shades of colour of the floorboards one of the workers just told me to cover that section up with a rug or furniture.
After the job was completed I complained to the boss who said that there wasn't much they could do about it. He offered to redo some sections but strongly advised about resanding as he said it would weaken the boards.
We have since hired a different company (at an added expense) to redo the whole house. They stained the boards before they polished them and we now have a floor which looks all the same colour and has been sanded smooth. I don't know why Sandscan didn't suggest they stain the floor to start with!
