Worst doctor ever! Had no idea what he was doing and was clearly only interested in getting more money.

As majority of the previous reviews, he was 50min late. I went in for a skin condition which I was then referred for an abdominal x-ray. When this came back he diagnosed me with all additional ailments to my skin condition and promised me to fix all my problems with a “life changing” treatment but that I needed to go for additional blood tests. Once I got these back he found more “issues” and then said he could offer me this “fix-all life changing $700” treatment that would cure my skin and all these additional issues he has picked up.

Strange thing is a work colleague had also been to see him for a general check up and then he sent her for abdominal X-rays proceeded by blood work and found all these mysterious issues with her whereby he recommended this life changing treatment.

I have reported him to the medical board - however if you have experienced similar issues with him, I’d encourage you to report him as he is clearly being a con-man.

Treated me so badly! I felt humiliated and upset and made to wait a very long time, more than two hours later and in the end I got no results and no treatment at all. The most disappointing experience as a patient in pain can have! I can't believe this is happening in a country where doctors are meant to treat patient well-being as the highest priority. But in this place, money is the biggest priority. AVOID THIS AS YOU CAN!

Frequently told to attend 90mins after appointment time, and still have to wait a further 30mins to see the doctor. Peddling his $700 ‘life changing’ solution.

I wasted years seeing this dr. It wasn’t until he requested a $700 long-consult that I sought a second opinion and found his advice contravened second-year medical student knowledge.

Consultations are rushed, and that is after waiting for 30-60 minutes. Charges for things that other bulk billing doctors don't, such as breathing tests. I get the impression he just thinks of patients as revenue, with no real concern for peoples health.

I have seen him for a medical certificate if I had the flu or a cold, but did not feel he investigated sufficiently when I had a couple of more serious concerns. He books 10 minute appointments, but most appointments do go a little longer than that, hence he is always playing "catch up", and unless you are the first appointment of the day, you will have to wait, possibly for as long as an hour. He did cease bulk billing for a month or so many years ago, & that was the only time you would not have to wait. Very few people were prepared to pay to see him, so he resumed bulk billing. This says a lot. There are a number of doctors that don't bulk bill but still get busy. They are the doctors worth seeing.
