It is great to have this service especially as I have young children who tend to get sick quickly. It is in a convenient location just opposite the hospital, and we have been sent across to the hospital when the doctor felt it necessary. It is more expensive though - about $90 with only some of that redeemable through medicare. Don't forget to take your coins though, as street parking requires a ticket even late at night.

I have been really happy with the checkups I have had with Dr Selton Jeyaratnam. He is very professional and gentle, and gave me confidence in his diagnosis. He was happy to refer me to a specialist when I needed it to. I am happy to return to him for future checkups. The only downside is that the practice does send a lot of reminders about pending appointments.

This place is quite nice and makes tasty pizzas and pasta dishes. My tiramisu was still frozen though when served to me. Not the cheapest pizza in town though.

When this pizzaria first opened they made the most amazing pizzas. I think they must have changed management because the pizzas there now are so bad. The last ones we ordered were raw - an Aussie with the egg still runny, and the dough still gooey, raw. I emailed the store to let them know about the terrible pizzas but they never acknowledged or responded to my message. It is really disappointing as they are very local to us, however we just wont risk the terrible pizzas again.

Dr Doris Chiu and Dr Mae Yap are both very nice and helpful. Waiting times are ridiculous - around 30-45 minutes - but they will do their best to fit you in on the day you call for an appointment which has been good for me with two small children who get sick quickly. The clinic is pretty shabby, but medical advice is good. The doctors will refer you to a specialist if they are unable to help.

The best place to go when you are suffering aches and pains. The physios are sympathetic and kind and will get you moving again quickly. I have had some really back back problems that the physios have really helped me with.

We have had many windows in our home furnished by Dollar Curtains. They are not the cheapest curtain and blinds suppliers in town despite what their name implies, but they provide a great service, and beautiful curtains and blinds. We are very happy with a pelmet and curtains we recently purchased from them. We will definitely use them again when we need new curtains and blinds.

Polite young men having a go and running a professional, competitively priced service. They are very well presented - neat and tidy- and they turn up to quote and to do the job on time. We had some fencing repairs undertaken and are very happy with the work.

A very clean and modern facility and the girls working there are all very professionally presented and well trained. It is very hard to get an appointment though at peak times, such as Saturdays and in summer. From time to time they have some great promotions/sales. I like that I can purchase at sale time and bank my treatment for a later date. I've never had any adverse reactions to my treatments.

Approximate cost: $100

I love reading customer reviews on businesses and find the reviews affecting my purchase decisions. However I find the website a pain to use - most particularly the 'Find a Business' function - the 'Where' Box seldom works. I need to try 3-7 times to get the suburb/suburb list to work. Most of the time it tells me to enter a suburb, when I just have.
