Centre Health Medical Centre - Barrack Heights, New South Wales

Michael Cook

I like this place cause it has all your health needs under one roof… well most of them. They have plenty of doctors to see patients and the desk staff are pretty nice as well.. cost varies depends on your visit but rebate comes back right away after un pay.
Plenty of parking ?️ for people and there’s also an IGA supermarket, cafe etc as well at the place.
Appointment is pretty easy to get as there will usually be someone available and 8-7pm means lots of slots available. Even open 8-4 on weekends so makes getting your health needs seen to pretty easy

Those times are for the doctors, the other places in there will have their own times..

Seems to be a lot of frustration and complaining about this medical centre directed at the wrong people. Maybe it's the government's fault there's a lack of drs and extremely overworked reception. I rang first time answered quickly, and friendly and offered an appointment the same day or when ever I wanted through the week.
After reading these negative reviews I was nearly not going to try this medical, but out of curiosity I did and no problem with booking or the Dr I seen.

Sometimes admin staff are a bit rude and not very welcoming or forthcoming with assistance such as directions. You may miss an appointment if you are sitting in the wrong place. Doctors are ok and there are certain services on premises which is helpful.

Very rude reception staff
Not attending patients just sitting on chair and getting pay without doing anything

Horrible, you will never get into an appointment unless you know you are going to get sick 3 days in advance. Receptionists never try to assist with help or check if any there ha been a cancellation, most doctors at the center do not listen or seem to care. The good G.P's are booked out for weeks so they do not see emergency patients at all.
I have a shocking experience of incompetence with a GP doing stitches on a finger without a scan and causing tendon damage so now it does not bend correctly.
If you care about your health I would highly recommend anywhere but Barrack heights.

After relocating to the Illawarra the concern of finding a decent doctor was at a prominent high. You would be hard pushed to find a doctor within this medical centre (and there ARE many) that wasn’t worth a positive review. Professional, thorough and friendly.
Dr Harry is a wonderful doctor and all of the receptionists are simply beautiful. Sandra, in particular, goes way above and beyond, to ensure the patients of this medical centre are all at a maximum level of comfort from the moment they enter until the moment they leave. All the while dresses herself in a beaming contagious smile. No matter how unwell you are feeling. The pharmacy within the centre is convenient as well as Skin Clinic, optometrist, dentist, physio, and pathology. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Worst place to ever go. The doctors do not care about you or anything. Booked an appointment for 1pm and I didn't receive a call until about 2pm. I was told that I would be receiving my script within an hour which never arrived. I called back a couple hours later and was on hold for about 5 minutes before being hung up on. Called back and was on hold for 2 minutes and got through to a receptionist which I was told she would fax my script to a pharmacy within 5-10 mins which was also not done. Do not go here they do not care about their patients.

Receptionists need more help! Doctors will see you but don’t care for your health as they would much prefer to holiday, if you are not well and are able go to dapto you just might be able to get to see the same doctor all the time there. Unfortunately the same can not be said for this medical centre! It’s definitely more of a case of how many patients a doctor can see (for the money) then a duty of care for the patients in that area the doctors are severely lacking in they’re duty of care to patients, the money for these doctors is far more important!! Rather sad really
