This review is for Pie In The Sky, Cowan NSW

Not a fancy place but the pies are great. They have a good range of gourmet pies including Lamb Satay, Lamb Honey & Rosemary, Tandoori Chicken, Thai Chilli Chicken, Pepper Steak and many more as well as fruit pies and Devonshire Teas. I've been here a number of times with family and also with organised groups. Well worth a detour from the F3.

Steve is great! He rings you to check if your lawn is ready to be mown, arranges a day and arrives on that day (weather permitting). His prices are extremely reasonable. Plus he is a really nice person to do business with.

Approximate cost: $quotes for job

This review is for Northside Clinic, Greenwich NSW

Just realised I should be reviewing not just adding a comment, so here is my review. I saw two psychiatrists at the Clinic, both of whom were very good. I also had leave time to visit my private psychiatrist. The various psychologists and psychiatrists who run the Group Sessions are very experienced and provide useful information to aid in your recovery. There is a coffee shop next door for when you are allowed to leave the premises and it is nice to grab a takeaway cappuccino to drink on the outdoor terrace next to the rooms.

Approximate cost: $exp[ensive unless you have full private health cover

Really good pizzas, tasty fresh ingredients, delivered very hot to your door in the local area. The only downside is a long wait at popular times on a Saturday night, but I expect that so I factor it in to the time I place my order.

This review is for Mosman Private Hospital, Mosman NSW

This hospital has a medical unit and a mood and anxiety disorders unit. The mood and anxiety disorders unit is run by well-trained, experienced staff who do everything possible to make your stay comfortable and helpful. They also run day programs to meet the needs of those with mood and anxiety issues. A visit to their website will give more information. The facilities are adequate with both single and shared rooms, but you can't choose to have a single room. The food is hit and miss but I was told they are working on improving it.

Approximate cost: $expensive without private health cover

This review is for Glenorie Pharmacy, Glenorie NSW

verified email - 08 Jun 2011

This has been my pharmacy for over 26 years. During that time there have been a few pharmacists but none have been better than the current owner John Youseff. John and his staff are the friendliest bunch of people you could meet and there is nothing that is too much trouble for them. They are always willing to give you assistance or advice on medicines and other items. The prices are very competitive and discussing what you need with John enables him to offer you his best price on your prescriptions, over-the-counter products, supplements etc. The service is fast and my prescriptions are usually ready in a few minutes, but if you have to wait a little longer John will keep you entertained with his amusing banter from behind his dispensing counter:) This makes shopping for your medicines far more fun than expected.

Approximate cost: $competitive

This review is for Glenorie Veterinary Clinic, Glenorie NSW

I've been taking my pets to this vet clinic for over 26 years. The vets and nurses have helped me care for five cats, four dogs and the odd wild bird that has needed assistance. Some of my pets have had serious illnesses and I've found diagnosis and treatment to be excellent. At times I have been referred on to specialist vets when appropriate, which I consider to be an important part of the service. The vets all have a great way with animals and are good at handling them. The nurses are well-trained, caring and my pets love them!

As well as small animals and birds, this clinic also caters to larger animals who live in this semi-rural area, so they are used to treating horses, donkeys, alpacas, goats, cattle and native wildlife.

This review is for Glenorie Medical Centre, Glenorie NSW

There are a number of GPs in this practice with three usually working at any one time. The practice is very busy and sometimes it is hard to get an appointment when you want one but emergencies are given priority and often you can be squeezed in if you are really unwell that day. The only downside is that you often have to wait quite awhile as appointments don't always run to schedule. However, the doctors are excellent so are worth waiting for!

This is my local medical practice and I see one of the doctors regularly and others when I've needed an appointment with whoever has an opening. I've found that my problems have been accurately diagnosed and that I have been referred to other appropriate specialists when necessary. The practice is also proactive in preventitive medicine and provides help for weight loss, diabetes etc.

This review is for Greenwich Specialist Consulting Rooms, St Leonards NSW

verified email - 08 Jun 2011

There are a number of psychiatrists using these consulting rooms and they specialise in different areas of psychiatry. In my experience the doctors are caring professionals who will try to accommodate your needs re appointment times and frequency of visits. The secretaries are excellent at running the front office, taking care of booking appointments and reminding you of your next appointment. The waiting room is comfortable and never overcrowded, ensuring you some personal space as you wait. There are toilets available on this floor as well and a new takeaway coffee bar in the ground floor foyer.

Approximate cost: $280 per hour
