St Vincent's Clinic

Done my surgery nearly a year ago under dr fenton Lee still have pain I thought keyhole surgery is less invasive supposed to be much faster recovery than open hernia I’ve been back 3 times after surgery he says it’s normal yet I know many many people that have done it with other surgeons none of them are still in pain 1 person told me he was pain free after 3 weeks I was in shock when I tell them it’s been nearly a year and still have pain they look at me in a confused way… not happy at all with this surgery I wish I never did it...

Very busy place parking can be an issue as limited parking and not much parking in the back streets when the parking is full This makes it hard when you are coming from a long distance

Reception lady is rude and no patient. Keep asking what you want to ask but don’t give a chance to let people speak.

I recently went here for an urgent MRI. They scheduled in for the next day on referral from my surgeon. Every single person that I spoke to was pleasant and understanding, in phone calls and face to face, from beginning to end: the receptionists, radiologists and other staff members. I have a phobia of these scans and they talked me through the anxiety, were patient, caring and helpful. They did not make me feel stupid or tell me to ‘suck it up’. They showed me the machines. The room was bright, clean, had visuals on the ceiling. They offered music through headphones. I was really grateful for them helping me to complete the scan successfully. I highly recommend....

The Dr Darveniza just called to give me my results, I asked if I could mention something and the Dr just said bye and hung up. His bedside manner is the rudest I have ever experienced, he has a duty of care to listen to his patients. I would not go back to this doctor. Not to mention the reception never answers the phone and are rude! Extremely hopeless all round. Don’t waste your money or time.... (Show more)

Possibly the best doctors visit I've ever had with Dr Nigel Briggs. He was extremely kind and courteous and answered all my niggling questions and has helped me come to a hard decision regarding future surgery. He was the picture of professionalism and complemented all the Dr's I had seen before him and explained some of the details they had provided me that I hadn't understood. If I needed to see him again I would gladly do so. Well worth every cent for his professional advice. And he said I was interesting Otolaryngology-wise, which made me laugh on a difficult situation. 5 stars.... (Show more)

Receptionist Elise or Elissa, very rude and unprofessional. Called from another medical practice and was not accommodating of our protocol needs. Became very blunt and non complying due to the fact she was driving!

The most expensive and slowest place to get your ultrasound. I made an appointment, not only they made me wait for 45 minutes but I had to go home without any service being provided since I had another appointment in a different place. Oh! also! they lost my doctors referral. No apologies were received from them for being late and for losing my documents!... (Show more)

There is a large selection of medical services available here, and good links to the St Vincent's Hospitals.

A complaint about the reception staff: the impatient and dismissive attitude toward potential patients from one of the receptionists is offputting and unprofessional. Thanks.

This clinic is typical of the kind of arrogant, careless and money-grubbing private health establishments that solely exist to make doctors rich at the expense of the community. My wife was scheduled for a day surgery to remove two benign breast lumps. On admission, she specifically requested to be treated with special care as she suffers from thin skin and gets long-running bruises and tears. She also asked the anaesthetist (Dr. Deacon) to place the canulae in her hand (as it heals much faster) than in her wrist. After the surgery when she woke up, she found that her arms were full of deep finger bruises as she was obviously treated very roughly and without care, despite her prior requests. The anaesthetist placed a thick canulae in her forearm that caused a deep and long-lasting bruise and scarring that still has not healed three weeks after the procedure. this has been a terrible experience and a clear illustration that patient care comes second to financial gain. On what basis do these doctors (glorified tradesmen, really!!) have the gall to charge up three times the Medicare rate and show no care or concern for the well-being of their often frail and elderly patients? Avoid this place at all costs, you will not be treated with kindness and humanity!!... (Show more)

Staff are so just lovely and very professional.

Absolutely 5 stars hospital and services. Providing excellent services from the beginning and end of my by pass heart surgery.

13 th of July 2018. One fine morning I met with an accident which I will refrain from taking your time. I landed with X X L multiple injury in St Vincent Hospital. 14 Broken bones and severe trauma. All I am going to write is that, beside my late parents I love them all. St Vincent Hospital staff members showed me great sympathy probably persuming this patient is going to die. Dr Timothy along with rest of the professional crew members built a broken puppet together. They put all their expertise and knowledge at work hence having kept all my sleeping pills aside for an evetual suicide went frutile. I must thank my Creator for letting me live. I am left to pray those from St Vincent Hospital who helped me survive. Today after 3 yrs I am working as a commercial personnel which requires intensive physical competency. I still have the iron rods in my knees + a metal clam holding the bones. left ankel has posthathic inlays built in. The left arm has metal wirings.... (Show more)

terrible receptionist. through GP I tried to appointment, but I didn't get any contact. That's why I called the clinic. The receptionist said " you already booked." they decided the date without asking my plan. They didn't say sorry. They never said sorry. and too long waiting time. more than one hour... (Show more)

Very friendly staff. Underground car park. Nice cafe. Only issue is there is always a long 10min wait for the lifts. So allow extra time for your appointments.

A step closer to better life ...

Really poor experience with Dr Jennifer Dew who works out of this clinic as a Gynecologist. Was referred there by my GP. I paid $300 to spend 15 mins discussing my very serious concerns about an upcoming surgery, Dr Dew was dismissive, not very present, and spoke over the top of me. She didn’t seem to care to listen and even at one point wrote down incorrect medical history. I have no idea whether she’s a good surgeon or not because I decided to go elsewhere after this initial appointment. I wish I had read the reviews about her on web md first. I never write bad reviews but when it comes to poor healthcare I think it’s important for people to be informed.... (Show more)

The reception at the entrance is friendly and helpful, raffle ticket sellers persistent but the place has this overall cold efficiency about it especially the specialist waiting areas where I was told by a receptionist that I was 5 minutes early and disturbing peoples lunch time. A lack of empathy is how I would describe this clinic.... (Show more)

I can’t praise Dr Bariol and her team in the endoscopy centre enough. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, I was treated with courtesy, thoughtfulness and caring. All the staff work as a team and they seem really happy in their work .
