GP in northern Brisbane suburbs??
Hi,
I hope you can give us some advice on doctors. My missus is 11 weeks pregnant with our 2nd child and we just (last weekend) moved to the North Lakes area. As we haven't made any contact with other families yet it would be fantastic getting some recommendations (by pm or email). We've just seen one (from the Yellow Pages) and it was a huge disappointment...
Any help is really appreciated.
Cheers
Winni

Although some of the Dr's are more happy to discuss your problem than others that is to say you have to take time to ask questions rather than them giving you all the answers - does that make sense??

We are living in North Lakes at the moment and both the missus and me have used the Doctors there (behind the Westfields shopping centre) neither of us have had any issues with them.

Hi,
thanks for your feedback. Are you referring to the medical centre inside the Westfield shopping centre or the one opposite of the car park?

Re: GP in northern Brisbane suburbs??
My doctor in South Australia looked after me for many, many years. He didn't 'bulk bill' but I was very happy with him, very caring. When I moved to WA he told me to shop around until I found a doctor I was comfortable with...he also gave me my printed records. The first doctor I tried was just terrible 
...like a conveyor belt 
. Unfortunately I handed over my records and they wouldn't give me them back...which they were obliged to. I then found a very good doctor who just happens to bulk bill. He phoned the other doctor and they told him they couldn't find my records...I know for a fact that they had put the information on the computer. My new doctor then phoned the one in South Australia who gave him all the information he needed. So I really think newcomers should shop around until they find a GP who they are comfortable with ...by the way, I have to see the doctor every two weeks so it was good finding one which bulk bills...and I am comfortable with
