Definitely the best medical centre we've found. Friendly, organised reception and great practitioners. My wife and I have seen Dr. Chetty, Dr. Maja and Dr. Rani Putta. They've all been happy to listen and answer our questions. It's obvious they really care about their patients and because of this I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. Highest recommendation from us!

Approximate cost: $Bulk Billed

I rang today to get an appointment, was told to be there before 2pm to be first in. The guy behind the counter looked like he had just came back from BDO. Not professional. I waited till 2.33pm with no comments as to why my doctor was running late or anything. This hasnt been the first time she has been late for her appointments. I believe that if you are booked in for a time, then they should see you at the right time. Unacceptable in my books!

Jason, i appreciate your review, though it is negative.

I also apologize for being under dressed, this was because i had to fill in at late notice for my admin staff who was sick, i do not normally work at the front desk. I can assure i had been working all day helping sick people and not at Big Day Out, like you say.

I remember you clearly though; you should have told me you had been waiting "too" long, i would have rescheduled your appointment, it actually caused further disruption that you had simply left.

I also remember clearly that 4 other patients waited patiently to be seen by a doctor; and were happy to seen despite the wait because they were unwell.

I am sorry you had an unpleasant experience, in future i recommend that you communicate with staff at the clinic, as we are busy and cannot always communicate with you; and also to have some appreciation for the work that doctors do and understand that they are very very very busy; also, different patients have different needs therefore appointment book is only a guideline that we do our best to adhere to, but it is not always possible due to unexpected medical emergencies or if for example; we must triage young children ahead of scheduled appointments; or for a myriad of other reasons.

My apologies again Jason,

We will try our best to do better for you next time Jason.

Regards,

hari

I definately wont be returning. Under NO circumstances should a person need to wait over 30+ minutes from a booked and confirmed appointment. I am making arrangements for my file to be transferred to a new doctor surgery. I understand that people have problems but I ended up in Emergency with a blood sugar of 36 over 5 times its normal level. I did make it quite clear when I called I was in need to see a Doctor urgently.

By the way the positive comments mostly come from their friends not patients.

Yes I agree, Waiting time os not acceptable and professionalism does not exist, especially with recption staff, it is all about the bottom line with these guys, only interested in money, money and money, not the patient. Dr Chetty is supposedly interested in Mental health, actually the $$$ involved maybe, and only sells vitamin IV therapy and lectures about the "BRAIN".....what a joke, if you want a laugh attend her evening lectures, where she gloats about her adult children and how much she loves them (well does all parents PLEASE) and how she has HELPED so many people......WOW a real piece of work this Lady. She attends USA to see Dr Amend (great doctor and out there theories by the way especially in ADHD) so she can pretend to be the same and on-sell mental health support as another money spinner. Do you remember you Hippocratic Oath Dr Chetty....a reminder below......
Hippocratic Oath:

I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures which are required, avoiding those twin traps of over-treatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.
I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.

This is also for all doctors at GCMP including Dr Haider.....also a big let down.

Dr Chetty is a wonderful doctor and has cared for her patients for many years. I highly recommend this practice for any medical needs.

Attentive, efficient, one stop shop for family medical care. The surgery consists of a GP, pathology services & also couselling services. Our experience has been second to none. Dr Chetty is caring & precise with her services & recommendations & we hold her in high regard. We would not hesitate in letting the Gold Coast know what a fantastic service the Gold Coast Medical Precint offers. :)

I have been a patient of Dr Chettys for about 10 years and have followed her all over the coast as she is the very best in her field. Dr Chetty has seen me through 2 children and diagnosed 2 life threatening illness and the follow up care. I trust my children's and my own life with Dr Chetty and won't go anywhere else. Dr Chetty is very thorough and never dismissive of your concerns. Bulk billing and never kept waiting if she can help it is always a plus. I highly recommend Dr Chetty !!!

Thank you for you kind review. Dr. Chetty is very grateful that you appreciate her so much and for your continued support over the years. We hope we can continue to help you and your family for years to come.

Dr. Chetty is the best doctor I have ever seen. This doctor has been able to help me with specific problems that no one else had been able to do.. SHe is the opposite of most practices, I have been to. Her goal is not to maximize the number of people seen. But to make sure you are healthy , and to leave with a smile on your face. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Chetty for the best choice a patient could make. She is a very compassionate and caring doctor. If you really care about your health, you'd make no hesitation in booking in to see her.

Thank you for your kind review, Dr. Chetty very much appreciates your support and she is so happy that she was able to help you with your concerns and hopes that you might visit her again in future.

I was in desperate need of a Dr and went to this clinic, although I was told they were fully booked for the day they asked me to come back at the end of the day so they could help me, which I did and the Dr there was so very kind, caring and helpful. Bulk Billing was another plus, and the fact that there was a chemist next door to fill my prescription immediately was another huge plus.

I am so glad we were able to help you when you needed us. We do try to be flexible and i am happy to know you appreciate our services. Thank you for your support, please visit us again any time.

Dr Chetty has been my doctor for over 4 years now. She is very professional and helpful. It is great that it is bulk billed. They moved to a new premise in Varsity Lakes in 2009. It is easy to get a park and they have a pharmacy next door.

Just a tip but they are closed down now, not sure if it is permanent.

jennifers14 27 May 2012

She has reopened around the corner from her old premises now.

We hope that we can continue to provide high quality primary health care services to our patients. Thank you for your support.
