This is an old review, many years in the making. I never wrote one back then because I didn’t even know reviews were a thing, but here it is now. This hospital is super haunted 👻 — and I’m not joking. It scared the life out of me. I was lying in the furthest bed in a room with about 10 beds. I can’t remember what I was admitted for, but I was very sick with a bad flu or cold. While I was there, I heard whispering voices and felt freezing cold. The bathroom light kept turning on by itself. I turned it off, but it came back on again. At first, I thought it might have been a sensor, but it wasn’t — it was just a regular light switch. Then, while still in bed, the TV from three beds down suddenly switched on, and the volume went right up. A few other TVs in the room did the same. I turned mine off, but it came back on again. That was it — I couldn’t stay a second longer. I got out of there, and I’ve never been back since. I wouldn’t go back either. It was unreal.

I attended the urgent care clinic after accidentally overdosing on insulin. I was seen immediately and the care was first class - couldn't be faulted. The staff were friendly, understanding and empathetic. My sincere thanks to all involved.

Tricia was an exemplary nurse - professional, empathetic and knowledgeable. My mother came in at 2am for repeated vomiting, Tricia helped us arrange teleconsult and gave us some medicine that immediately alleviated the symptoms.

Took my husband to the urgent care clinic this morning due to a swollen, hot, painful leg. The attention and care he received was exemplary, we did not have to wait at all, seen immediately by a nurse then only waited about 10 mins to be seen by the doctor, both were very caring, professional and efficient. Left with appropriate treatment and very happy with the care. Thanks so much!

My experience; "Calling this place a 'health' service is a joke. After being diagnosed with whiplash and a concussive brain injury, I was basically abandoned—told they couldn’t help and advised to endure a grueling 9-hour public transport trip to a proper hospital. The GP practice is even worse. One of their doctors threatened me, dished out unsolicited and inappropriate legal advice, and had the audacity to warn me not to fight baseless allegations from Victoria Police. They outright refused to treat my injuries, denying they even existed, despite clear evidence from my MRIs. This place appears to be nothing but a nest of corrupt, dangerous individuals who protect each other at the expense of patient safety. Stay far, far away. Your health and safety depend on it."
