Do not see Dr Arthur Bablis!

Arrogant and can’t be told! If you or your loved one have a sporting injury, this is NOT your doctor.

Presented 2 sons with sore backs. I requested X rays and MRIs. Was laughed at, and he scoffed “if they had a broken spine they wouldn’t be able to walk”. Proceeded to write ONE son a referral for and X-ray and then said the other son just has a sprained muscle.

I trusted my mother’s instinct and consulted a physio, who wrote to Arthur requesting an X-ray for the other son as well as MRIs for both sons.

Well the results came in, and what do you know…. BOTH kids have a stress fracture in their spine from increased sport load recently. And what do you know, this is such a common injury for kids that do a large amount of sport. And if they gone undiagnosed, they may have risked a slipped vertebrae and had lifelong spinal issues. Thankful I didn’t listen to Arthur and trusted my gut!

I went back for results and to get a referral to my sports specialist and he refused! Said I don’t need a referral to see a sports specialist. So I called another GP at medical one Greensborough and got a written referral and a bloodwork referral all in under 5 minutes on a Telehealth appointment.

Safe to say I will never return to Arthur. He is a hack that is so far out of touch. And does it all with an air of arrogance. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
