Jamison Medical And Skin Cancer Clinic

Good doctors and well managed (compared to other medical practices) but I agree on the money-making comment above. For example I paid $140 ($70 rebate from Medicare) for a 20 mins visit because it was more than 15 mins! Really?!

The staff are friendly and competent, the waiting times are slightly better than average for a doctor's clinic. No complaints.

Dr Conrad Goonerage was brilliant. Very thorough skin check. Also had three moles removed and he set me at ease for the procedure which was quick and painless.

There was a wait but like most dr's surgeries I had already factored that in, I also called ahead to ensure they were running in time.

Appointment made for 12.30pm.
30 minutes later, I'm still waiting.
Approached receptionist who told me I was next.
10 minutes later, I was called in.
Turns out it was for a nurse who wanted to take my blood pressure.
I told her not to because it would be higher than normal.
Asked if 40 minutes over was the usual wait time and got a hesitant "Sometimes".
Asked if there was someone to complain to since neither the receptionists nor the nurse saw anything wrong with my having to wait nearly three quarters of an hour over my appointment time and was told I could tell the doctor since I was going in to see her next.
By this time, I was supremely annoyed.
I don't mind waiting, as long as I'm told that the doctor is running late. But neither receptionists were forthcoming. Neither they nor the nurse - who kept going in and out carrying disposable coffee cups and magazines - were in any way sympathetic with the wait times.
This leads me to believe that a long wait time is normal. Why make appointment times at all if they can't be kept? Unprofessional!
This also leads me to believe that the staff are all apathetic to patients' needs. Great industry to be in when you're like a robot.
Don't waste your time here - find somewhere else more professional and prompt.

This Himali GP, I waited more than an hour to see her, only to check on me for a couple of minutes! She seems rushed and runs everywhere. I wasn't even in her consultation room. She will just suck the money out of you. DO NOT BOOK UNDER HER!
