😠 I usually never leave reviews, but feel this one is necessary. I would not recommend this Medical Centre to anyone as my Partner and I have both felt completely ripped off by this place. Personally I never visit Doctors or the hospital, but felt desperate enough that I had to. My Doctor did not ask...

    I usually never leave reviews, but feel this one is necessary. I would not recommend this Medical Centre to anyone as my Partner and I have both felt completely ripped off by this place. Personally I never visit Doctors or the hospital, but felt desperate enough that I had to. My Doctor did not ask me any questions related to my issue, and would not even look me in the eyes when speaking to me. I was charged for a procedure - which after the short 5 mins he spent with me - concluded that it wasn't necessary. He wanted to finalise my visit quickly by asking me if I had any questions..... yet I had just told him how poorly I had been feeling, and after telling him everything he offered no guidance or help... Very strange interaction. Then he prescribed me antibiotics which he said, "Personally I don't think you need them." I felt that my partners Doctor also double/triple charged my partner and gave her misguiding advice in regards to her back injury. After not providing details about what she can and can't do after putting her on light duties (which I'm sure can happen if not asked for), we called them to simply ask for a few words describing what she is able to do safely at work (as her work requested for this)... just a few words, and they made her book another $90 visit (she is a foreigner with no medicare), just to write something along the lines of 'no heavy lifting', in a obviously very short encounter. Previously to this she had come home to me crying about her experience as her Doctor had recommended she change career and consider back surgery....due some back pain from a gym injury, which has never been checked with an MRI or confirmed as anything that bad. Her Chiropractor and Physiotherapist both said that judgment was ridiculous and the last measure one should take. I write this just to express my concerns to people who might go to this place and in hope that service is improved.

    I booked the earliest appointment possible for my 3yo son as he was up all night in pain hoping we would know what was wrong with him. The only doctor available that day was Dr Than Tun, and we were very disappointed with our consultation. Our son who has a high temp and has been complaining about a sore mouth was just told to go home and take nurofen and fluids. The doctor did not bother to check his temperature or even try to open his mouth (even though our son didn’t want to). He did not improve throughout the day so we booked him into another GP where he was diagnosed with Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease. This doctor took the time to check his temperature through his ears and his mouth as well as his body all over. To say that we will not be back to this establishment especially to Dr Tun is an understatement. We were also charged $85 for a consultation less than 5 minutes. (Initial patient consult fee) but still ridiculous. I also called the establishment to let them know. And the receptionist just said that she would “pass on the message” to the doctor. Who knows if she did?

    Highly recommend for knowledgeable medical and nursing staff, efficiency and friendly service. Got our 2 Pfizer COVID-19 jabs here. Saw Dr Mae both times. Very caring and friendly, and went through all possible/probable side-effects and how to deal with them. Could not be happier with their care! Highly recommend!

    Dr Sean Reilly is an outstanding doctor, he is very experienced! Best I have seen in my 9 years of constant involvement with the medical industry. He remembers previous appointments and takes a personal interest in the well being of each patient. I have to travel 45 minutes to see him, but it is well worth it to get the kind of care he is willing to provide. Trust me, he is one of the few doctors who will sincerely put this much effort into each individual.

    I just had an amazing experience at this clinic. I had a full body skin cancer check with Dr Andrew Thant- he is very knowledgeable and also very approachable. I actually had a lot of anxiety about getting my skin checked but the moment I walked in to his office instantly felt at ease. He was very thorough and his personality was really easy going. My partner and I both got checked and when we left we couldn’t stop talking about what an amazing doctor he was and what a great experience we both just had! I’ve already started messaging my friends that they should get their skin check here! It is also really easy to book online so that is definitely a plus!

    Skin check was thoroughly done. Peace of mind with my moles being imaged so we can see if they change with time.

    My husband and I have now had 3 COVID vaccinations each at this medical centre at Chevron Island. Each visit has been a pleasant experience. Yes, there have been some wait times but only minimal - 10 minutes maximum. Each time the centre has been very busy but the staff have taken the time to speak with us and make sure we understood what to expect and to answer any questions we might have. We felt cared for and treated very well. I can thoroughly recommend this medical centre.

    I just wanted to get bloods taken. Ended up with a massive bruise and sore arm for days.

  • 1/5 corey m. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm absolutely disgusted with the Doctor, I had really bad shoulder pain which was sending pain down my arm and into my finger. He wouldn't assess it and just said it was muscle. I went to see another doctor who took scans and it was nerves pinching on my spine. I was in so much pain for months. If he actually took the time to assess me properly it could have relieved my pain sooner.

    I like it when I arrive for an appointment at the given time and don't have to wait longer than five minutes, as was the case today. The attention I received was prompt and accurate from a caring and interested GP. Very good experience.

    Doctor pressuring me into having a covid vaccination which is totally my choice to abstain as quite clearly the vaccine has not solved the problem. He stated that the statistics are successful, that s debatable. Who knows what consequences lay in wait for those who have been coerced, bullied and threatened with the sack for taking a substance that has not been through the rigorous testing before being released into the public. Statistics have not been truly revealed of the drastic side effects and deaths caused by such irresponsible mandating. I went into for a check up and left feeling let down because I have consciously stayed away from having my regular checks.

    My 76 year old husband has Covid, I have cancer; requested a phone app’t today from Dr Thun, promised at 11:45 waited all day no call so no antivirals and no appointments available tomorrow. Either of us could die from Covid but not even a phone call from our regular surgery. Disgusted, Monday will be too late.

    Scam alert. The practice ensured they would help with a 5 minute skin biopsy procedure on the day. I made sure this was the agreement or I would not be agreeing to the consultation. I was greeted by someone claiming to be a Dr Than Tun who appeared to be in his 80s and could barley speak English. When I realised he was trying to explain he couldn't do the procedure that day, I also realised I had been lured into a billing scam, and they had never intended on doing the procedure in the first place. I immediately walked out and had the procedure done instead at another practice in Southport with no troubles. Chevron Advanced Medical had the audacity to post me an unpaid invoice for $85 simply to be told they couldn't do the work ? I do not recommend this practice at all and if anyone experiences same, please write your review and experience here also.

    I visited this center for a booster shot on 21st of Feb. I found Dr Tun very UNRELIABLE. He aggressively changed his word with no apology. I felt intimidated by his manner. I can hardly believe that he is a professional physician. The receptionists were nice, though.

    I'm very happy with any visits to CHEVRON ADVANCED MEDICAL. All the staff are always polite and helpful and any blood tests needed can be done on premises without an appointment..my Doctor... DR Andrew Thant always shows concern & great care for my health and well-being. (Luv him) and Jesse on the desk is always polite & helpful..I wouldn't go anywhere else and it is very convenient on Chevron Island..I also had all my covid shots & booster there..have been going there.for years....Elaine Nuku..😊

    I have been a patient there for over 10 years. I booked an 8.30 am apt today was eventually seen at 9.00 am. How can anyone be running that late at that hour? No apologies for keeping me waiting. I am a Registered Nurse having worked 10 years in private practice and no way would I not apologised for keeping someone waiting

    I never rush to see doctors but after being quite unwell for days I booked an appointment with Dr Than Tun. I was in pain, my throat was so sore I could no longer eat or drink. Dr Tun said to just take nurofen and lozenges (which I had already been doing for 3 days). And then he charged me $90. I left disappointed and knew I needed a second opinion. I took a photo of inside my mouth and I could see the white infection around my tonsils. I went to a different medical centre where they listened, did their job and prescribed the appropriate medication.
