Hurstville Medical Practice: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Excellent service Friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Dr Carol Ling is professional gp that I met,she is passionate and patient, my previous gp moved out,so I go to other medical center, now I am back this clinic because Dr ling.thanks for her caring .
Positive experience: Very efficient medical center, but they don't like you to ask too many questions, you are not welcome if you stay in one session for more than 10 minutes
Negative experience: The receptionist treated the patient with a terrible attitude, complaining that the new patient didn’t fill out the forms, thus increasing their workload. While I was filling in the emergency contact information, the receptionist displayed racial discrimination due to some differences between Chinese pinyin and English, repeatedly saying things like “you Chinese people” in a derogatory manner. This is the worst receptionist I have ever met in a clinic, and it doesn't even deserve one star. I will file a complaint regarding the discrimination with the Australian Human Rights Commission and Fair Trade.
Fantastic experience: Today I met the best doctor ever. Dr Michael Liu is so patient while listening to my needs and pains. Not only that, he genuinely cares about me and my family as my daughter also attended to him last week which she had a friendly experience. If anyone needs a family doctor, Dr Michael Liu is your priority.
Negative experience: Idk what's the meaning for booking. Everytime you need to wait for more than 1 hour!!!!
Negative experience: Don't waste your time. 2hr+ waiting time WITH a booking. What's the point of the booking? Btw, people arriving later gets their name called first. Great! Who's managing this trash of a place? Looking through reviews they obviously don't care. Gross.
Positive experience: Dr services are good, reception service is a joke when asked to pay for results to be emailed. Never have I been charged or have I charged anyone for emails.
Negative experience: The doctors are good but the wait time is terrible even when you have an appointment. Had to wait 2 hours and receptionists are not helpful
Positive experience: Dr Ivana Lu is an absolute BEAST. She is really nice and sympathetic and really listens to what you have to say. However expect delays of up to an hour especially in the afternoons.
Negative experience: Worst medical center ever I have visited. Suggested everyone stay away from it. I booked myself via their homepage by following the instructions, I selected standard appointment base on time slot with no preference of physician. I have receive the confirmation email and txt to see Dr Tai which I didn’t choose under that name, it just pop up for the time slot I chose.When I turn up for appointment , receptionist stated that doctor only see patient under work cover. I’m very sure I select standard appointment and I didn’t pick that doctor, the system pick up that doctor for me. Receptionist didn’t believe it even I show the evidence on my phone. They did not apologize for their booking system default, and they should not sent confirmation massage. When I ask to see the other doctor , they said it’s not bulk billed , apparently on their website says bulk bill. I received no respect from receptionist, I work as a nurse in RPA hospital clinic, I was shocking by this service here. You have booking , you get turned away even the doctor you booked is here and no apology for their fault, Do not attend this clinic. I Don’t want to give any star.
Negative experience: I booked an appointment to see Dr. Louis Yip at 4:15 today, and I waited for an hour and a half. By 5:00, he allowed someone with a later appointment to cut in front of me, making me wait an additional 40 minutes. When I finally went in, his attitude was very indifferent. The entire clinic is poorly managed, and the doctor lacks a good attitude. I will never come back! So disappointed!! If any of the above is untrue, I can provide evidence at any time.
Negative experience: Worst customer service, very rude staff
Negative experience: Worst medical centre ever visited. Dnt have any sort of customer service knowledge. Receptionists seemed kind of rude. If you dont carry cash with you then stay away from this clinic. They still dont have accept card. Seems that they are still running in stone age. Absolutely ridiculous.
Fantastic experience: Dr Tanvir Rahman is an incredible, kind and courteous professional at his job. I always feel like I've been well-looked after when I see him (or speak to him on telephone consultations). The clinic is clean and well-maintained. The receptionists are friendly and always do their best to assist. I've been recommending HMP to all my neighbours and friends. Keep up the amazing service!
Negative experience: The receptionist was rude and racist. I was not aware that the premises require patients to wear the mask. As soon as I entered, the lady got triggered and started speaking in a rude manner. I paid her a dollar in cash and agreed to buy the mask. Later, two gentleman of chinese background arrived without any masks, and no one mentioned to them why they were not wearing mask.
Fantastic experience: Dr Aldrin Tai is incredibly kind and caring towards his patients. He has great empathy and is very knowledgeable.
Negative experience: Rang to see a doctor, Apparently I would have to register and pay then see the doctor to be bulk billed .. rip off taking money off people my advice is stay away. Pay to see a doctor what a joke in Sydney nsw.
Negative experience: Very rude and unprofessional staff members
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Tai for many years and the experience has been nothing short of fantastic. Dr. Tai himself is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and genuinely cares about his patients. He always takes the time to listen to my concerns and provides me with detailed explanations of any medical issues I'm facing. The staff at this practice are also amazing - they are friendly and approachable, and always go above and beyond to make me feel comfortable.
Positive experience: TINA is very good! The examination is very thorough, the analysis of the condition is very clear, and the medication is explained very well. She is also very polite and respects older people. However, the physician is still young and lacks some clinical experience. The anti-inflammatory medication prescribed didn’t have much effect, so I later switched to the old prescription given by Dr. Auburn, which helped control the condition.
Negative experience: My appointment was at 12:15pm, I waited until 2:20pm. I asked the front desk twice. The first time being that there are still four sets of people in front of me, 11:30, 11:45, 12 and then me. Bear in mind, this was at the time of 12:55pm. The 11:30am patient was seen at 1pm. When it was 2:20pm, I told the reception they 2hrs wait is way too long. They seemed confused and called the doctor (Jin Wang). She then told me to just go inside the room. Now normally wouldn’t the doctor come and invite you in Anyways I went inside and the doctor said she called me. Now that’s a lie because every time she came out of the room, I had my eyes on her and there is no way she would have called my name. I went in, she had her back to me doing something I don’t know on the computer. Out of the 5-8 mins consult, we only had 1-2 mins eye contact. She showed no care at all, just gave me the paper works and that’s it. Worst GP experience when I really needed some help.
Fantastic experience: Thanks for the front desk staff to helped and solved my booking problem today. Thanks for your patience!
Negative experience: This medical centre is an absolute disgrace, they refuse to take my two and halve year old son because they don't take new patients! Someone should close it down so they can stop wasting tax payer's money!
Negative experience: Very disappointed with Dr Ivana Lu. She is impatient at all. After waiting for her over 50mins appointment,she even ridiculed me, "if you are a queen, you will get premium service." We all konw Majesty Queen Elizabeth II passed. How she dares to say so! So rude and so mean.No sympathy and professionalism. Disrespectful to others !! Shame on you.
Negative experience: I find Hurstville medical practice extremely inadequate in their administration and reception service. Their waiting queue is usually always long and appointments almost never on time with a bare minimum of 30-45 mins wait past your booked time based on my past experience. I did not find their reception staff very helpful in multiple occasions, their process is also very outdated and there seems to be quite a bit of disconnect between their doctors and reception at times as well which further adds to the frustration. The only reason why I did not give them a one star (or no star really I could) was because it’d be unfair to some of their doctors who are extremely helpful and provide sound medical advice, namely, Dr Carol Ling and Dr Aldrin Tai especially. I find some of their other doctors a bit too trigger happy with antibiotics even when it is very clear the symptoms and diagnosis point to a viral infection, whereby antibiotics will do no good but to further compromise your health by getting rid of the good bacteria as well not to mention building up resistance to antibiotics. In Hurstville there are many other practices with great doctors to choose from. I would certainly suggest patients to go look elsewhere.
Positive experience: Dr Ling is the best GP I have ever met, I’ve been with her for the last 15 years. If she wasn’t here I wouldn’t come to this medical centre, the receptionists are rude as! They are so unprofessional, can’t talk to people at all.
Fantastic experience: Great GPs and very polite, friendly and helpful receptionists.
Negative experience: Bad doctors. They seem very rushed and in such a gloomy mood.
Negative experience: Quite disappointed by my experience at Hurstville medical centre. I was a new patient and had dr Ivana Lu. I had to wait 3 weeks for my results back when I was told I would get a call back the following week (visited June 6). Doesn't make me feel valued as a new patient at all.
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Dr Aldrin Tai for many years, he is a very experienced, patient and kind doctor who always takes time to listen. The receptionists, Vicky and Celia are very helpful and accomodating.
Negative experience: A medical practice not even equipped with needles for stitches. Ridiculous.
Fantastic experience: Dr Ivana Liu is the best doctor I have seen in my 52 years in this Planet. I am confident I'll live up to 103 under her care!
Fantastic experience: Dr.Chin and Dr.Tina Zhu are the best. Very easy to make a booking on Health Engine and bulk billed if you have MediCare. Professional and efficient in everything.
Negative experience: Very disappointed and long waiting time over 30 mins. I came here a bit earlier prior the appointment time.
Negative experience: i booked in an appointment, got there and waited at least 20mins while both receptionist ladies were on the phone, explained when and who is my appointment with and ended up waiting for almost an hr until I got up to speak to them and ask when I’ll be next. only did I find out that they needed to check me in which they didn’t do when I was speaking to them because they wouldn’t listen to what I was saying. bad communication, wasted my time and makes me not want to go there ever again.
Negative experience: Worst GP, long wait and rude receptionist
Negative experience: Very poor adherence to appointment times. Making an appointment here is a joke. I have to wait almost two hours even when I'd an appointment.
Negative experience: Avoid Dr Michael Zhu at all costs. While I understand the pressure and stress that health professionals have been under due to the pandemic, its no excuse to be unprofessional and treat any patient with any less respect they deserve. We were rudely dismissed because Dr Zhu found it too time consuming and annoying (his verbatim) to answer legitimate questions we had regarding a recent medical procedure during the consultation. Perhaps Dr Zhu should consider a profession that requires less patience and empathy given that he certainly seems to be lacking both.
Negative experience: I made a 10am appointment for my 4 month old baby to see Dr Jing Wang on 31/12/21. We didn’t get seen until 11.50am. Given I have a young baby and there is coronavirus everywhere, I want to minimize the unnecessary waiting time at the medical center. I had to ask the receptionist twice to see why it was taking so long as I didn’t see the doctor come out of her room. If the previous patient needs a procedure, please allocate a longer booking window. Otherwise, other patients will have to wait longer. We waited almost 2 hours with an appointment. I feel the practice is disorganized and unconcerned about the welfare of patients and no empathy for parents with young children. Will reconsider seeing another doctor next time. Very disappointed with the service. A bit of a wait is acceptable but 2 hours for someone with an appointment is ridiculous.
Negative experience: Worst experience ever.. Only gives priority to their private patient. Better to hire someone who speak proper english. Receptionist told the blood test can be done on friday and later after an hour wait , she told the test cannot be done today. Gp is even worst… Zero communication skills.. Worst clinic ever. What a waste of money and time
Negative experience: Most of the doctors are very good and professional except the receptionist, they are all super rude and never follow the rules, they let other patients jump the queue without making appointments, I booked for 3pm today arrived at 2:45pm the old lady came 1min before me, said didn’t make any appointment and the receptionist let her go in before me at 3:07!! I have to wait for another 10min to go in. I don’t understand what’s the point to ask ppl to book in advance as anyone can walk in and jump the queue! Really bad experience, every single time!! If I can find other clinic around here with doctors I like, I won’t come back for sure!
Fantastic experience: Dr Chin is a very caring and patient doctor. Thank you for your professional service !
Positive experience: Most doctors and receptionists are professional and friendly.
