Camira Family Medical Centre

"Great GP. Always through and helpful. Manages all my conditions professionally and listens. Does complete OBs each and every visit. My wife is still with me because of his care, insight and refusal to guess."

"Dr Marcel has been our family doctor for several years, we first consulted with him when he was in Collingwood and as soon as we found out he changed clinics so did our family. We absolutely love him as our doctor and recommend him to everyone we know. People are complaining about the fee that it's been implemented but what they don't understand is you pay once every 6 months also you get a rebate back so its not fully $80. Even if it was the full amount I would gladly pay. Just so everyone know most medical clinics are implementing a fee."

"We're a family with high risk members who continue to mask and take covid prevention and precautions seriously. When phoned to book an appointment and asked about masking, the Receptionist bluntly stated Dr Briones refuses to mask even for vulnerable patients. This decision and the way the message was delivered shows a complete and utter lack of respect, empathy or care for the well being of patients. Can relate to the other reviews. We used to attend this practice when Dr Ravi worked here and would look past the systemic rudeness and dismissiveness of the long-term receptionist however the masking stance is completely unacceptable. Even if you personally don't take covid as seriously as we do as a family, it is worth considering whether this doctor and practice is right for you and your family given the blatent disregard for individual patients needs or special needs of individuals. We now attend the new medical centre along the road at Rawle Street where masking is the norm and the admin/ nursing and medical staff are friendly, thorough, professional and compassionate."

"This practice has gone from good to bad to the worst of the worst. During the pandemic when state mandates required masking in medical facilities, that a receptionist and nurse here were seen here unmasked (whist insisting patients follow masking requirements) was bad and showed lack of respect for patients and put people like my wife, who is immune impaired at risk. Recently, after not attending the clinic for some time, my wife had need to for a straight-forward matter. To book the appointment, I had to deal with a horribly rude and snarky receptionist called Lesley. After the appointment, my wife was hit with a $80 cost (without being told by the receptionist before hand that this would apply). And my wife is has a pension card. Zero compassion. Poor standards and attitude. Worst of the worst."

"No longer bulk billing. $80 Normal Consult & $120 Longer Consult. No word of this when appointment booked with receptionist."
