"It’s rediculous really. Nearly 1 hour I waited on phone to book the GP appointment to know my test results from last one week. Still I didn’t able to book. But one o f the doctor said, I can call directly to book the appointment with GP."

"Catherine is a super friendly and patient dentist. She explained every single thing to my son before doing anything. Catherine also tried different types of equipment if my son was scared of the others. I am glad that we met Catherine for our first two appointments, so we did have wonderful experience at Cohealth. Thank you again Catherine."

"A relative just came here because their dentures are loose - they are clearly loose, we can see them move when they try to eat for example. They are causing pain and wounds in the mouth but these jokers said they fit and were fine. My relative has already booked into a real dentist. But what kind of treatment are the poor of Australia getting? If you can't afford to go elsewhere, even when getting ridiculously bad service what happens? You just put up with it, wait until things get bad enough that these services will act? Simply pathetic. Cohealth should be ashamed."

"Got my teeth cleaned here for free with a voucher given to me. My dentist was very negligent , he offered this extra treatment because I had braces which was to help avoid plague build up on molars. It was free so I said why not. He was leaning on me with his tools and my lips were hurting so much . I told the dentist and he said it hurts because my lips were dry but they weren't . When I left, I noticed a bruise on my lip and it was still hurting. I prefer to go private dentist for a clean as they are much more careful and considerate. Although it was free I would never go here again .The pain made me sick"

"If you manage to see one, the doctors here are generally wonderful but the management are really failing. Last time I called for an appointment it was four weeks until the next appointment with my doctor, and three weeks until the next appointment with any doctor. It basically means that people who are sick aren’t getting care. How on earth does that happen? Are they failing to retain doctors? Are they taking on too many new patients? Whatever it is, it’s absolutely dysfunctional. A related result is that the doctors are now often stressed and the receptionists treat patients as problems because they know that they can’t offer actual care. And they chose to close the Joslin clinic in West Footscray in favour of a private service that would charge a fair bit above the Medicare rates. It seems unfathomable that right now - amidst all the focus on health in light of COVID-19 - that the local community health service could be so lean."
