After one visits I was blown away by how professional and over-and-abovey this clinic was. I’ve had difficult experiences with doctors before, having long term chronic health issues. I can be defensive with doctors, having had bad past experiences. I specifically asked for a doctor with experience in women’s health and was asked if I wanted to see a woman. (I didn’t mind). They recommended Dr. Leung who was the dream doctor. He took a comprehensive history, listened to my reasons for the visit, explained the gaps in his knowledge and even looked up my specialist on the spot to make sure I was getting good care. He explained the pros and cons of any tests he ordered (and ordered a few - with my permission). I’ve never had a doctor acknowledge that an internal ultrasound, giving birth and pelvic issues / surgery can be traumatising, so I really appreciated that, too. Finally, as a woman with extra weight and anxiety in my history it was SO REFRESHING to not have to defend myself. He explained why women can carry extra weight, without asking if I was trying to lose it or passing any judgement. I would recommend this clinic to anyone - especially young women who have been dismissed or invalidated by doctors in the past.
Doctors do not have to respond positively to all questions or requests of their patients, but they must do so in a respectful manner within the framework of ethical rules. It made me very sad to encounter such an insulting,disrespectful ,hostile,derogatory behavior in this health center where I have been a patient for a very long time. There is no medical negligence in this case, but there is professional misconduct. Now I understand better that there was no pre-existing clinical relevance and duty of care . Doctors who formerly took the Hippocratic oath now prioritize money worshipping. Taking into account both their profession and the physical and psychological wellbeing of the patients.If their tolerance and patience for distressing situations, heavy workload and strict time constraints has disappeared, on top of their own health problems,it would be the best way for them to leave the job or take a break. There hasn't been a single quarrel or misunderstanding or personality clash in over 23 years. But no matter what the reason, no patient deserves to be humiliated like this.
I have recently been going to Northcote Medical as my long standing GP had retired. Also, I was referred by a friend. Dr Thomas has been treating me and my family and can honestly say hand on heart what amazing care he provides. Every time i make an appointment to see Dr Thomas he was warm, welcoming, understanding and really does take his time to ensure he listens to you and provides the BEST treatment advice. Another thing Dr Thomas does so perfectly is works with you to ensure you are both on the same page when it comes to treatment options which is very rare now days. I'm extremely thankful to Dr Thomas and also blessed knowing he close by. Furthermore, the reception staff are amazing. So professional, compassionate and truly do go above and beyond. Northcote Medical is truly a hidden gem. Thank you all and please do not change and keep doing what you do.
I have been attending Northcote Plaza Medical Clinic for well over 20 years and The doctors, nurses and reception staff are all exceptional. Dr.Harry Hemley is an outstanding G.P. He is empathic, thorough, listens to his patients and takes the time to explain medical conditions and treatments to his patients using plain English. Over the years I have also had the privilege of being treated by Dr.Zoltan Vilagosh and Dr.Beverley Anderson, both G.P.s of the highest calibre. In recent years some new doctors have arrived, and at times I have seen Dr.Tom, Dr.Austin and Dr.Meredith, each of whom is carrying on the tradition of exceptional care. Shout out to Jen and Dora in Reception who have always been patient, professional and have excellent people skills. Sorry if I have forgotten anyone, you are all stars.
My family have been coming to this practice for many years. The reception staff are lovely and there are some wonderful doctors and nurses. We usually see Dr Tom Leung, who would have to be the kindest doctor you will ever meet. He is compassionate and never dismissive, very thorough and holistic. You might go to him for a simple medical matter but he always checks in and asks how your mental health is. I have also seen Dr Meredith Bates for women's issues and she is also fantastic. The practice nurses Angel and Christine are so sweet, they have done all our kids vaccinations and always make that awful task so much more bearable with their cheery manner.
I’ve been attending Northcote medical for 4 years now and absolutely love it!! Could not recommend Dr Austin enough. He always listens to all my concerns and ensures a sense of care with every visit. Dr Austin has been able to diagnose me with concerns other doctors couldn’t and always wants the best for his clients!! Nurse Kristine is also amazing!! she ensured I was comfortable and stayed with me the whole time for my iron infusion. She walked me through every step and made me laugh every moment. I’ve never left Northcote medical disappointed and recommend the clinic to absolutely everyone!!
This place is the bee's knees for real. I went in one day with a dead phone and a dislocated shoulder, turns out I had to go to the hospital and the whole team went above and beyond to help me out. They had someone go to Kmart to suss me a phone charger and even called me an Uber. I have had nothing but absolutely delightful experiences with the reception team and have seen them handle difficult patients in the most professional manner. Dr Leung is an absolute mad man, best doctor I've ever had. The nurses are exceptional and the place always smells fantastic. 10/10 would recommend.
Have been to bulk billing doctors my whole life and my girlfriend finally convinced me to go to a paid doctor. Let me say this: it was the best I've ever done in regards to my health. My boy Doctor Riley Smith showed me the love and care similar to what you would expect a mother to show her new born baby. He listened to my issues and showed genuine care and then insisted on a follow up. The limit is only 5 stars but if I could give it 6 I would have. If you are still going to bulk billing doctors you're kidding yourself. Go see my man Doctor Riley Smith and he will sort you out.
The interior of the clinic has a great look and feel as soon as you walk inside. Nice couches, tv, water and relaxing atmosphere. Another review summed it up perfectly: this clinic truly is a hidden gem. The reception team have always been nothing short of professional, and there is always a nurse handy. I really couldn’t ask more from this amazing clinic. Dr Harry Hemley has always been friendly and understanding during my consultations. Most importantly, I have a strong trust that he knows what he’s talking about. Keep up the wonderful work, Northcote Medical. Brendon.
I have faith in humanity again. Despite how busy they are during covid, their friendliness and professionalism are second to none. Our doctor (Dr Leung) has gone way beyond what we expected or have seen from any family doctor in the past. My wife and I are moved not just by his knowledge but his caring attitude and following up with us to see how we are doing. Way beyond what we expected. A huge thank you to Dr Leung and the Northcote Medical practice. We are moving out of the Northcote area but will continue to use Dr Leung despite how far we have to travel.
I have been a very well looked after and happy patient at Northcote Medical for over 30 years. Dr Hemley my preferred GP is exceptional at his profession. I have always felt safe and comfortable in all my GP visits. Since the clinic employed a practise manager who is now been working at Northcote Medical for over 16 years the clinic has never looked better. All the staff are highly educated, qualified and professional. I highly recommend this Medical Clinic. Well done to all the staff at Northcote Medical. Thank you.
My doctor feels like an old friend, because he is! I’ve watched him build his practice up over forty years! He’s done a fine job too, now running many facets of treatment from his much grown surgery. Catering to just about everybody! I wouldn’t go anywhere else|! *BTW Dr Hemley is an O.A.M. recipient, I feel privileged!. Always professional and friendly! Medical care is so much better, when you have a doctor, that you trust and like! They’re all good doctors, but we all have our favourites….don’t we?✌️
I've never had such a thorough, comprehensive, respectful and welcoming experience at a clinic before. Dr Leung was very good at explaining and recommending different treatment options and the pros and cons involved. He had no issues letting me know where his knowledge fell short and recommending specialists for particular issues. He made sure I knew exactly what was happening and what to expect. Both Dr Leung and the reception staff where welcoming and understanding of LGBT+ and mental and sexual health.
Best doctor's clinic in the North. Extremely tidy and organised with extremely friendly reception staff who are more than happy to answer any of your queries. Fabulous doctors who genuinely listen and care about their patients leaving no stone unturned (unlike many doctors I have encountered) as well as being extremely on time with all appointments. On top of this, their pathology clinic is literally 2 steps away in the next room, making it convenient for those who like to get things done on the same day.
I have been coming to Northcote medical for about 18 months now, and couldn’t speak highly enough. Dr Tom Leung manages my care and is patient, thorough, kind and approachable. For women’s specific issues I have also seen Dr Roisin Matthews who is equally lovely, thorough and approachable. The on site pathology is extremely helpful and the staff are always great, plus there is a nursing station available for vaccines etc. The reception staff are consistently kind and helpful. Highly recommend this clinic.
Northcote Medical have a fantastic team of multi-disciplinary professionals working at the medical practice. The practice is warm, friendly and efficient, with dedicated patient care across a number of health, GP and allied health services. The practice is ran expertly by Denise and the entire team go above and beyond in patient care All that visit this medical practice will be attentively and timely cared for as this medical practice strive for clinical excellence an a great user experience.
I needed to have a covid test last week so rang Northcote Medical as it is close to my home. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. I stayed in the car and Dr Riley Smith came out to perform the test. He was also very friendly and efficient. He called me the next day as promised with my results. Thank you for a very easy and good experience (except for the nose swab of course!) at this practice from start to finish. Will definitely go back and recommend to others.
I love this place. Iv been going to northcote medical for over 20 years now and in those 20 so years. Happy to say that they have help me emotionally and physically in so many ways. I am very grateful to all the doctors there. Yes i do have my favourites that i like to see but when there to busy and fit my schedule the other doctors there deliver 110% and i cant find any fault so say about this place..
My family has been coming here for over 25 years and the service keeps getting better. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. From the reception staff to the nurses, the practice manager to the doctors, their professionalism and caring nature is second to none. I could not recommend them enough. Thank you for the many years of care and exceptional service you have provided me and my family!
customer service from the receptionist named MEGAN was horrible, she was incredibly rude and gave my PREGNANT sister the attitude of a adolescent teenager when she was on the phone in a very distressing moment for her. this woman needs to be REPREMANDED she is totally insensitive and does not know how treat patients with the slightest bit of respect. other than MEGAN, this clinic is great !
Northcote Medical provides professional medical services to my family. Dr. Leung is extremely helpful and able to provide in-depth consultation for us. His knowledge is exceptional and we benefited from his advise. The reception team members are also very helpful and knowledgeable to assist us. We have no hesitation to recommend Northcote Medical to our friends or relatives.
Have been at Northcote Medical since I moved to the area 12 years ago! The ladies at reception are absolutely fabulous and display true professionalism! They are all kind, patient and always willing to help out in anyway they can. Can’t speak highly enough of the doctors as they truly do care about their patients! A BIG shout out to Dr Leung who is brilliant!
First time visiting Northcote Medical and I was very happy with friendly and helpful front desk staff, and I saw Dr Patrick Davoren and he was great. Will probably move my medical needs from my old GP (who was also great but in my old neighbourhood, so not handy when you feel pretty average already) to this clinic. Thanks team and Northcote Medical!
Northcote Medical was recommended to me by a friend and I have been coming for over fifteen years. The care l have received has been outstanding as I have been supported through several medical problems. I trust their advice implicitly and am grateful for their wisdom and commitment to the health and well being of all their patients. Teresa Duncan
I've been seeing Dr. Tom for several years now, and he has hands down been the best doctor of any kind I've had the pleasure to see. He is always thorough, patient, knowledgeable and kind, and always makes time for me whatever the issue. The rest of the nursing and reception team and also excellent, greet me by name and are very professional.
Northcote Medical have lived up to their Google rating. Despite being a new patient, they fit my 5 month old in for assessment the same day and followed up with me the next day to check on his progress. After a few failed attempts at finding a family GP in the area I’m happy to say we’ll now be consulting at Northcote Medical exclusively.
Dr Patrick is just really devoted to increasing the ADL's and abundance of everyday life. He really focuses on patient centred care and a universal, holistic approach to needs that I have had over the years that I have been his patient. I am extremely grateful for the support and care that his registry has offered to myself. KR. Tommy
The team at Northcote Medical have been fantastic in the couple years we've been going to them. I've seen a few different doctors and a fair few of the friendly pokey people (pathology and vaccinations), and know that no matter who I'm going there to see - they've been extremely friendly and knowledgeable! Definitely recommend.
Best medical practice ever! I was put onto this clinic by a friend who said "she just loves all the dr's at Northcote Medical". I've seen two Dr's and incredibly happy with both. Austin rocks! Was so great with my son too. From the reception staff to dr's, this clinic is top notch, five stars, caring and super professional.
So blessed to have Dr Harry Hemley and team of Doctors and staff at this practice - caring - thorough and professional. Thank you LORD for them all . PS : can you let Dr Harry live forever because what will happen when he goes home to heaven to you ? Please bless his socks off LORD . in Jesus name
Sitting in the waiting room and astounded by just how much these receptionists have to deal with. I’m surprised to see how rude and demanding some patients can be. You would never know just by looking at this professional team at this clinic. Been a patient my whole life and love this place.
After having Dr Harry as my family Dr decades ago, I’ve been back to Northcote Medical for the past 5 years. Every Dr is amazing, the service is top notch, the rooms are professional and there is a pathology and various allied health onsite. Moved 30 minutes away but still only go here.
I have been going to Northcote medical Centre for about 25 years I've been away recently overseas for 3 years .lhave been back to the medical centre again and it's just better than the last time I was there same people just better service more valueud experiences and lots of help
Recently switched to Northcote Medical and have had a great experience. Dr Leung was very attentive and great at answering all my questions both at the visit and during the follow-up call. The nurse taking my blood was great too and the atmosphere there was very friendly.
I love Dr Mattinson she always takes the time to give thorough consideration and care to me. The reception staff are angels really welcoming and friendly even though they are often really busy they still make the time to be polite and courteous and personable. Thank you
Staff is friendly and helpful. Doctor Roisin Mattinson has been so caring for my family with her medical experience and amazing personality. She is an amazing doctor, she also is the best doctor I have found for my children and we just hope to have her for as long.
Pleasant waiting room with gentle calm music and a subtle pleasant scent to keep patients calm. The reception staff and Dr. Angel were lovely and my covid-vaccine barely hurt going in, which hasn't been my experience with most of the other doses! Highly recommend
Dr. Tom Leung is by far the best GP I have ever met. Really warm, caring, knowledgeable, thorough and down to Earth. I will not stop singing praise about fantastic he is. The clinic and entire medical field is blessed to have such a wonderful Doctor among them
This practice is efficient and absolutely spotless, so glad I found them.. Telehealth apps on time and very little waiting for face to face app. Oh and the Doctors know their stuff and happy to spend a little time with patients. My new GP clinic for sure.

Amazing doctors clinic! Dr Tom Leung I couldn't recommend more. As someone who doesn't really like going to the doctor, I find him extremely easy to talk to, caring and his communication A+! Reception staff are also very friendly and helpful!
I had my second Pfizer vaccination today and I have to say I was riddled with anxiety before coming into the clinic. Angel is seriously an ‘angel’ she calmed me and reassured me and the process was very smooth in the end! Thank you Angel! ❤️
We have been attending Northcote Medical for many years and couldn't recommend them highly enough. The medical staff, particularly Dr. Hemley are outstanding, very caring and compassionate. The reception staff and nurses are excellent.
I highly recommend Northcote Medical. All the doctors are friendly and knowledgeable. All the staff are welcoming and pleasant. It's a well-kept and modern surgery. I travel over 40 mins for an appointment. I won't go anywhere else.
Kind, thorough and professional experience all round. Reception was lovely, my doctor Dr Roisin Mattinson was so kind and thorough and assisted with a follow up needed. One of the best I've been to in Melbourne - Highly reccomended

Dr Hemley and his team at Northcote Medical are absolutely fabulous. A wonderful team that is knowledgeable, experienced, friendly and compassionate. I strongly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a long-term GP.
Dr Harry Hemley has been my family doctor most of my 43 years. I have trusted him with some of the most crucial decisions in my life. All the women and men at this clinic are friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

Another great review for Dr Leung. Have been seeing him for a few years and greatly appreciate his patience, as well as his attention to detail and a genuine care in the well-being of his patients.

I’ve never had a bad experience here, everyone seems to actually care about humans and communication is really great which makes such a difference when you’re feeling sick or vulnerable.

Dr Sonia, made everything so much easier and was absolutely delightful to have as my dr. I genuinely felt so comfortable in her presence and am glad I came here. Will definitely return.
We have seen a number of doctors at this practice and they have all been excellent. Very professional values driven care. Would recommend to anyone, but especially people with kids.
My first time at Northcote Medical centre and had the most caring, inclusive and understanding doctor attend to my needs. Feeling I have found my new place for my medical needs.
Very caring and lovely staff. All of the GPs are professional and of the highest quality for my medical needs. Thanks Northcote Medical for being so accomodating and caring.
Everything went well despite my delay in arriving. I had a doctor's appointment and all a flu shot and both were done with the usual high standard of professionalism.
Friendly and very helpful reception staff. Delightful nursing staff. The doctors I've had dealings with have been caring, efficient, thorough and great to deal with.
I have seen Dr. Srinivasan and Dr. Bates. Both such respectful and knowledgeable doctors with incredible patient care. I would recommend this clinic to anyone.
Very nice doctors and admin staff. I would recommend them. My first time there and i will return. Hardly any waiting time and very calm and clean offices.
Really lovely family doctors. After years of going to bulk billing superclinics, the care they put in at Northcote Medical is such a welcome change.
Always good service. Sometimes a short wait for appointment but this is because the doctors take their time and really care about the patients.
First time to this clinic and l am happy with the service. It was easy to book online. The staff were very helpful and l will be back again.
The staff are friendly and helpful and I’ve never had to wait long to see a doctor. Dr Davoren is very easy going and accommodating.
