The Mosman Practice

My physio made my appointment for me and managed to push me in the queue for Dr Ged Fowley. Ged is an out and out legend, honest, knowledgable, thorough and gentle.
I had my bloods taken on site as well and he recommended 3 different places for me to have my x-​rays done instead of sending me to his preferred clinic.
I didn’t wait long for the blood nurse who was super gentle. I’m not a fan of having my blood taken but I honestly couldn’t feel her put the needle in my arm. A*mazing.
The waiting room is comfortable, there’s play equipment for the kids and the wait time is minimal. The reception staff are radcakes and there’s a chemist on-​site in case you need to buy meds.
As far as Dr’s surgeries go, this one gets full marks from me.

Very convenient. You can park close by, and with long hours and a host of different GPs to choose from, it is usually possible to make an appointment at short notice — which is what you really want when life is busy and you have far more children than you remembered.
Individual service from each practitioner has been thorough and conclusive, and impromptu follow-​up has been included on several occasions. I wouldn’t say that we’ve yet achieved that intimate personal relationship that I remember having with a local doctor as a child, but perhaps times have just changed.
Handy also that upstairs there are several specialist suites, including a dentist, skin specialist and physiotherapist, and that both basic pathology and pharmacy are available on-​site.
Only drawbacks are that it can be a wait on the phone to make an appointment, and the doctors are prone to running late (though the Practice will usually try and call you in advance if the delay becomes too bad).

The receptionist Sharon knows me by name and I rarely visit, so that speaks volumes about how cared for I feel at this wonderful surgery. I made appointments with a number of different doctors when I first started attending this surgery before settling on the delight that is Dr. Ratna Neville (
). There are numerous male and female doctors to choose from — all of them wonderful and different in their own ways.
The surgery is a one stop shop:
— They have Registered Nurses on site to attend to dressings and vaccinations etc and one Nurse is particular, Marie, is a shining star. She spotted me as a teary new (ish) mother in the surgery and came over to see if I was ok. She was the one to suggest that my son be treated for Reflux (when others had dismissed me as a neurotic new mum) and I am so thankful for her experienced care and attention.
— Douglass Hanly Moir operate from here too so it’s easy to get your blood tests done too.
— They can bulk bill and arrange for Medicare reimbursement direct to your bank account.
— They have an inhouse Chemist called Tony who is very professional, courteous and willing to give advice on medications.
— Oh and they have a Physiotherapist, Skin Cancer Clinic and Dentist on site too. Why would you go anywhere else?!
Saturday and Sunday are drop-​in clinics so no appointments necessary.
