I've had some very average experiences here. One of the doctors here pretty much doesn't listen to me, such as me asking for a doctors certificate for work and then he asked me if I was in high school and then telling me to 'deal with it' about something I went to the doctor to question. I have since found a better doctor there who is very nice and knows what he is talking about. It can get very busy also, with 2hr+ waits.

I found this clinic after looking for a doctor in the Essendon area after moving. Specifically I was looking for a Bulk Billing practice that I could move my medical records to from my old doctor in North Melbourne. It should also be near public transport so it would be easy to get to and have extended opening hours so I could go and fit it in around work. A dispensary and pathology were pluses. This medical clinic ticks all of the above Boxes. It's open from 7am til 10pm during the week and is also open on the weekends. There are usually about 4 or 5 doctors on at one time so the wait is not usually more than an hour (it was quite common to wait 1.5 hours at my old GP). They do blood tests on site and have a pharmacy (plus a dentist, xrays, physiotherapy etc - not bulk billing) so they really cover all bases. Each GP is friendly and accomodating and non judgemental. They are all up to date on the latest Australian Medical Technology (One is up to date on international technology and his ideas are very very interesting to hear). It is a short walk from Moonee Ponds train station and has a carpark out the back (you do have to pay though). I've been coming here for over a year as has my partner and we've not paid a cent in doctors fees. I am very comfortable with this practice.
