Bulwer Medical Centre

Medical center

😐 The doctor was good and I didn't have much issues with the wait time, but it's the first time I've been charged $10 for being a new patient. That seems like an odd thing to charge for. People often mention time, doctor, wait, Sanjay, recommend, appointment, staff, friendly, Kanodia, good,

    I love the on-time appointment of Bulwer Medical Centre. When you book an appointment time, you will see the doctor within 5 minutes of the time booked. Other medical centres I’ve been to have always made me wait an hour or longer before seeing me, what’s the point of making a booking. Dr Sanjay takes the time to check that his patients are doing health tests every 6 months before a medical issue arises which if undetected will get worse, eg diabetes.

    Bulwer Medical Centre is top-notch! The fact that they bulk bill and offer instant appointments with almost no waiting time is a game-changer. I was able to book a last-minute appointment and was seen right away. The doctor I saw was very thorough and took the time to explain everything to me. I will definitely be returning to this medical centre from now on. Highly recommended!

    New to the clinic, they have a very good service, easy to book into. The GP was very professional and listen to all of our concerns. Got a free flu vaccination ! Had a bloods taken while we where at the clinic. The receptionist also helped us with some paperwork that we needed. Would definitely recommend especially if you are new to the city like us and looking for a new GP. Wait time was minimal

    After waiting 1 hr past my appointment time my name was finally called but someone else put their hand up and went in. After 15 mins I confirmed with the receptionist that I was still waiting to be seen (as I suspected that this guy took my time slot). After 45 mins or so I ask again and that's when the whole situation becomes clear. A 2 hr wait for a simple note :(

    If you have any other choice of a another practice to go to, do it, this was my first and last visit here, I originally tried this practice as they listed they bulk bill after the first appointment, they informed me at the reception there was no bulk billing options at all, even after the initial appointment. The doctor rushed my appointment after I had a waited for an hour (which is standard I find) but I expected to be given the time when it came. I was in extreme pain and expressed that to the dr, and was rushed out the room with a blood test form and they did not give me a thorough check over. $80 for a blood test form.

    First time will not return. Waited 15 minutes before someone asked me if I had filled out a form, receptionist on personal phone call right in front of me the whole time. Then someone who was about to do my blood pressure test came and had a personal chat with the receptionist for 5 minutes before asking me to come through to info room. Once in room the person who was doing my blood pressure test sat almost directly across from me and was coughing through out the whole process no mask and not once did she make the effort to cover her mouth just coughing in to the open in this small room, disgusting. Form had something wrong on it and receptionist comes in makes very unnecessary and very rude comment after making me wait acting like I was wasting there time??? Completely unprofessional and I will be letting people know the attitude and treatment you will receive here.

    I've had a great experience with this GP with very short waiting times. Had a bunch of mounting health issues, managed to get 3 referrals to specialists through them within 2 weeks, entirely bulk billed. Huge relief considering the medical costs I have ahead of me.

    I waited all day for a pre booked GP phonecall. I did not receive a call so I ended up contacting the practice at 16:30 who then told me the GP could not call me today. No apology or explanation. No attempt to contact me prior to alert me that the call was not going to happen. I work as a nurse in GP and understand the pressures but this is basic courtesy and communication.

    First off, the reason i chose this doctor is because of her Health Engine blurb from her other practices (Bulwer Medical is closest to me). It reads "Dr Kanodia enjoys providing her patients with high-quality care, by getting to know them and understanding their individual health needs" I had my first antenatal appt. with Dr Kavita Kanodia. This is my first pregnancy after trying for 3 years, so i was going into this being extremely vulnerable but excited. I was expecting lots of advice and information regarding antenatal stages yet all i was told was what everyone suposedly knows? "take prenatal vitamins, dont consume alcohol, dont smoke". My blood pressure was taken then I was given a referral for bloods and told to come back in a week. I sat for not even 5 minutes?..No brochures, no handouts, no advice outside of the standard common knowledge. Didnt ask about my history (other than if id had any terminations or miscarriages). Even 2seconds of eye-to-eye contact was hard to come by. She was faced into her computer the entire time. All-in-all, Receptionist was lovely and helpful, but I do not reccomend booking with this GP for "antental care".

    Dr Kavita at Bulwer medical centre is not only professional but extremely empathetic to my situation. She diligently escalated the situation in securing me a specialist appointment that I wasn’t able to get. Dr Sanjay also has been instrumental in prescribing me the right medicine to get rid of a skin infection that was going on for 18months for which I tried multiple creams. Thanks to both Dr Kanodia couple for genuine care they have shown towards me and my family supporting after hours and weekend support. I am lucky to have them as our family GP and highly recommend them.

    I went to this clinic recently for the first time, and it was just amazing. The doctors were really friendly along with other staff members. I didn't have to wait much either. I will 100% recommend this clinic as it provides the best service i have experienced.

    very happy with my service at Bulwer Medical Centre. I barely waited to see the the dr and Dr Sanjay Kanodia was great and made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend going to Bulwer Medical Centre.

  • 1/5 J R. 2 years ago on Google
    Waited 45 mins past my appt time and then once I went in I felt so rushed by the doctor I didn’t feel like I got to speak to her properly, as she was obviously rushing through each appt to get through everyone. Everyone who went in only seemed to go in for about 7 minutes so I don’t understand how they were so behind unless they were seriously overbooking. I then had to go to the nurses for something and had to wait again for about 30 minutes. Don’t go here unless you’re prepared to sit and wait all day. Edit - they texted me saying I had some non urgent results so I called them multiple times, and when they finally picked up they said they’d have the doctor call me and she never did. What a waste of my time.

  • 5/5 Rose N. 11 months ago on Google
    My review is solely for Dr Sanjay Kanodia. Dr Sanjay Kanodia has been mine and my family's GP for many years. Not only is he kind, but he's also quite spot on with his diagnosis and appreciates my involvement in mine and my children's health care. He listens to my concerns and is always reassuring. He is reliable and will not forget to call if you have a phone consult and always remembers to send through any request forms and referrals. On the business side of things, I feel comfortable discussing any issues regarding any other health care professionals in the practice and he is always willing to better his medical centres by listening to honest feedback. He is a very hard worker; I appreciate his work ethic, his time and his service.

    Dr Kavita Kanodia did a great job with my health assessment. She explained everything to me in a very clear manner. She was also very kind and empathetic

  • 4/5 Gogo M. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been a patient of this clinic for the past 34 years and they have always been great I would usually be able to get booked in no problems for same day or could go in and wait which was also amazing but the wait times were pretty long depending. This was understandable though as they do their best to see every client who needs them and to provide the best care as they can. Also considering how it seems 80percent if medical centres are now going private. Bulwer Medical centre is one of the select few that provide a good service being bulk billed. Thanks to the team and doctors at Bulwer Medical Centre

    Dr Sanjay has been supporting me with weight management and general wellbeing. He’s always very supportive and has helped me to reach my goals and get my life back on track. The practice is very easy to utilise and I don’t mind travelling from Morley to receive their high standard of patient care!

  • 5/5 Ravi J. 1 year ago on Google
    Dr Sanjay Kanodia is very good doctor. He calmly listen to you and diagnosis and treatment as needed to get recover my self. He is not rushing like some other doctors that i some time visit. Now this will be permanent doctor for all our family members. I strongly recommend him to get his appointment.

    I only go here for my blood test as it’s convenient to my home. However, they are in need of a gardener ASAP the outside is disgusting, very overgrown and dirty. The outside would put you off going in.

  • 1/5 Ash I. 8 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Worst GP I’ve visited by far. First of all; the receptionist was on a personal call while myself and someone else were standing in front of her for legitimately ten minutes, waiting. I’ve read the other reviews (which is why I came here to begin with), and really can’t identify with them. Perhaps Dr. Sanjay was having a bad day. First time here, and honestly the one star I’ve given them is generous. Went in to discuss sleeping troubles and frequently becoming sick. The doctor, saying next to nothing, hastily printed me a blood test referral and hurried me out of the room without probing at all as to whether I had any further questions or concerns. I was in the room for sixty seconds at most. I asked about sleeping assistance, since I am currently struggling with it to both recover well, and remain safe at work, and he just ignored my concern and essentially made me feel like I was just trying to get my hands on something. I was quite surprised. Felt like just a number through the door. I’ll have to use their practices resources to retrieve these test results to take somewhere professional, remotely proactive, and aren’t a waste of my time.

    This surgery looks like a derelict building from the outside and not much better inside. When I wanted to leave after waiting 40 minutes, I was told I'd have to pay $40 to cancel. Zero customer service. Won't be returning.
