I was recently referred to Exact Radiology for a breast u/sound & mammogram. The results of this process required me to return for a biopsy. Although my GP's original referral said they could perform a biopsy if necessary, I was still required to return to the GP & obtain another referral for the biopsy. I was also told it would be a 3 week wait until I have the biopsy. Having never had a breast biopsy before I was anxious as were my family and friends who were concerned for a good outcome & 3 weeks is a while to wait when you don't know what to expect.
I returned for the biopsy & my experience and treatment was appalling.
From the young man who told me to change into a gown, leave it open at the front & then said, well you're not worried about this are you? Ahh yes I was - I said its not normal to have nipple discharge is it - no - he agreed. Lie down, he said, on your side, no your back, no back on your side - all the while my breasts are rolling around & recent unrelated surgery made the movements even more awkward. I'd better find this lump he said, before the doctor comes in & proceeds to cover the area in gel. Ahh yes - I've found it - with the help of the unintroduced student in the room. Clean yourself up love - before the doctor comes in - he says to me. Doctor arrives and disagrees that there is a lump to be found. No biopsy necessary - nothing there he says. Well why does my report say otherwise I say - he says the sonographers take the pictures, make the notes and the radiographers interpret & some pictures can be made to look like lesions or cysts when they're not. Given my family history, the constant evidence in the media of lumps being missed, I asked for another ultrasound - the doctor said to me - you don't look very happy. No I'm not - I don't want something to be missed. Well you've had another ultrasound by me - he says - you're all good. I said they're not your breasts are they! And to top it off when the sonographer casually completed the rest of the ultrasound, he was talking about other topics & when he returned my paperwork & images to me - he included another patient's paperwork as well. Overall my experience was appalling.
Trying to be assertive when you're on a table, with breasts exposed & trying to understand the medical jargon with multiple (arrogant) people in the room is not a reassuring experience. I will return to my GP for a further consult.

Hopefully the final result will be negative, however there was no empathy from anyone in that room, no understanding of the emotional lead up to such an appointment & I'm left with serious doubt as to the reliability of their services.

A caring, thorough and thoughtful deep/trigger point massage by Sam. A lot of sore spots hit and tension relieved. Will be going back. Thank you.

Approximate cost: $63

I found this business through an email from WOMO advising me of businesses reviewed in my area. I'm not normally someone who would spend money on having my car cleaned because I am particularly fussy about the job that is done but in my moment of meltdown I decided to give this company a go. I am very happy with the service that Richard and Jamie provided. The product used really does a great job and has to be seen to be believed and in the recent rains the water has just beaded off my car. Richard is very enthusiastic and keen to have happy customers and in my opinion it is definitely worth giving him a go. I had 2 i30's cleaned and a people mover for a total cost of $360. Both men worked for most of the day on the 3 cars and they were cleaned without water. I was very sceptical but the result was amazing.

I have been seeing Scott at Beenleigh Podiatry for about 2 years. He is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and wont try to sell you something you don't need. He is down to earth and realistic. If you're seeking service with a smile, he is the person to see.

I have used this service twice to hedge the various plants in my garden. This man is reliable, turns up when he says, is reasonable in price, knowledgeable and very helpful. He takes the mess away & is keen to make sure the customer is happy. I highly recommend his services, which range from lawnmowing, pruning, garden maintenance, pressure cleaning and small home maintenance jobs.

This is a great nail salon located within a hair salon in Rochedale. They are 2 Australian ladies who like what they do and are good at it. I wanted a nail care service that could help me deal with my damaged nails from another franchised salon, they have been friendly, helpful and understanding & I would recommend their services to anyone seeking an alternative to the shopping centre salons.

Am new to the world of massage & arrived with very tight muscles built up from years of tension & stress. After 1 hour with Karen I felt significant relief in my shoulders & has really improved my sleeping & relaxation. If you're seeking a firm massage with great relaxation results, can highly recommend Karen for this service in her home based business. She is friendly, knowledgeable, understanding and good at what she does & provides a good service with value for money.

For one on one attention with a bright & lovely lady who genuinely cares and is very knowledgeable, you can't go past this home based Pilates practice. Very reasonable in price and value. Highly recommended.
