Collins Street Medical Centre

This Medical Centre is the best Medical Centre I have ever been too and I have been to a lot over the years. The Doctors are thorough, caring and extremely knowledgable. The doctor I see is doctor Kala and she is simply amazing! I feel very blessed to have found such a compassionate, genuine and thorough medical professional. Thanks DR Kala.

All of us need a nice doctor’s office to visit. Since I have lived outside of my home country for so long, I am very careful who I select as my overseas medical care facility.
I can tell you this place is not only professional but also reminds me of home — not the high, exorbitant fees I would pay in the good old USA, but the demeanor and manner of then staff!
Home run for expats or those who live or work in the city. I will stick to this team of professionals!

Very professional facility. The doctor I saw was kind and took the time to help. Also very understanding of my financial situation and talked options with me.

The reasons I like this medical centre are simple:
— plenty of female doctors.
— they do a ‘lunchtime prescription service’ that is bulk billed. you can pick up your script without having to do a full consultation.
— they have a pathology onsite.
— doctors can provide test results via a web based service.
I would recommend this centre to CBD locals.

After ‘shopping around’ a bunch of GPs who were disengaged and aloof about my healthcare, it was a godsend to be recommended this surgery. It’s a private surgery, so upfront costs are between $ 75 – 170 (depending on the length of your consultation), but you can get a chunk of that back from Medicare.
The standard of care is amazingly high. Whatever symptoms you come in with, the doctors will investigate in depth their possible causes (rather than the standard «It’s probably X, here’s some antibiotics!» approach that seems so prevalent), drawing in any ongoing health issues and history. More importantly, they involve you in every stage of the consultation and diagnosis. At no point do I feel lost, confused or out of control — nor condescended to! It’s definitely a collaborative process during the consultation, where everything is explained and I’m involved closely in the decision-​making process.
Most of the doctors in this practice are women, which I personally find important — not only do I have a regular GP for ongoing issues, but if I need to go in on short notice I can see another female GP.
