Blackburn Clinic

"On the day I saw a principal of the practice arrive in a lovely car (googled it, not as expensive as i thought but ~100k) I saw a doctor for 5-10 min, charged $90, sent for a scan. Just called to get the results and they won't provide without a paid appointment. If I do that will be paying more for GP appointments than the actual scan, and the scan took half an hour, so twice as long as I'll be spending with the GP! So I'm not doing that. Lucky the reports are available online, will just wait for that. And probably not go back I think. Anyone know of a good clinic near Doncaster? [edit] Shame because the doctors are generally quite good - should have included that. [edit to owner response] Thank you for your response. You are correct that in the past getting feedback from tests has not resulted in any charges. That was why I was surprised - I thought I may not have made myself clear so didn't make an appointment on call #1 and called back the next day, and did make myself clear, and also specifically asked (paraphrased) "so to get my results i need to make a paid appointment?" with a response "yes". It may be that my question should have ended "i need to make a formal appointment, which i may be charged for or may not, based on doctor's discretion?" but to be honest the thought never crossed my mind, I just let the staff know (calmly) I wasn't going to make an appointment or come back. I will say that within an hour or two of my google review I had two missed calls and a text from your clinic with my results. Based on all the above, am going to upgrade my review to 3 stars - still not sure if I'll be back though."

"As a health professional, I was very impressed with Dr Yeshar's warm manner and patience when seeing my toddler for the first time. He was very personable, comprehensive, empathetic and reassuring. He took the time to discuss my concerns, to make my toddler feel secure and I felt very happy that we booked to see him. I highly recommend Dr Yeshar- he is clearly very experienced, approachable and is an excellent GP!"

"Please stay away from this clinic. I made an appointment for once off. I was told in another call that they aren’t taking new patients. As I kept asking she acknowledged that there is an issue. She then proceeded to lie to me. She refused to help me. She was rude and very disrespectful. She didn’t care and I told her how I felt. Beware. They don’t treat u well and will never bother them again. They don’t bulk bill even for pensioners. Dreadfully and dishonest people. Ask yourself willl u trust a medical clinic that lies to u and are just bullies in a school yard. Horrible people. They discriminate against mental illness. They won’t see anyone that is having depression or other issues. They have refused me becaUse of this. If u are suicidal they won’t see or help u so I strongly suggest u seek other medical clinics that care because these horrible people don’t care about u"

"Sean Das has been my GP for well over a decade. He's one of the best GP's I've met. Always knowledgeable, patient, kind, gentle and an excellent sense of humour, while still being professional."

"I have been a patient at Blackburn Clinic for many years. In all this time I have been treated very well by the staff and my doctor Grant Connoley. They are always up to date on anything new and over Covid they should all be given medals for the way they coped, even though I would imagine they were exhausted. I cannot recommend this clinic highly enough. Thank you Blackburn Clinic for looking after me to well for so long. Rosemary Bailey ."
