Looking for a good doctor in Umina/Woy Woy/Ettalong? Thanks I know of two surgeries which take new patients here. One in the clocktower at Woy Woy and one near the Mantra in Ettalong. In my experience Dr. Paula Kavilieros (I think that's how it's spelt) at the Woy Woy medical centre in the clocktower building is great. She is very good with kids too, and seems generally interested in doing whatever she can for the patient. Dr. Louise King is also thorough but a bit too straight to the point and not very friendly from when I've seen her in the same practice in Woy Woy. There are 1 or 2 terrible doctors in there as well though, you'll notice them pretty quickly as they always have free appointments. Sometimes I can see Dr. Paula the same day, but usually have to wait the next day, she is very popular there. Just keep in mind, you are better getting on the books at Woy Woy Medical for something minor. If you've never been before, you will need to go on a waiting list for a few days as they only take new patients every so often, so best not to leave it till you are really sick and in need. Otherwise like me you will be off to Wyoming medical the first time. The less said about the Ettalong doctor surgery the better. It's named by the two doctors (A couple) who both work there. No patients, no eftpos, no bulk billing whatsoever, general rudeness from at least one of the doctors and a very uninviting surgery, doesn't make for a nice experience. I have friends that live two houses away and wont even go there. They didn't even know it was a doctors surgery, just looks like an abandoned building!:ohmy: |

I'm from Woy Woy. There are some great doctors here, some not so great. You will be severley limited in the area on the doctors you can see as most on the Peninsula have "closed there books" and no longer take new patients. A sad fact for the area being full of retirees.

Re: Recommended doctors around Woy Woy Peninsula area
Thank very much billiejoe, that definitely helps. I have heard about doctors having 'closed their books' - I wasn't able to register my daughter in Umina Medical for this reason. Not very helpful.
May need to give Paula a ring. Cheers Sean |

Someone edited my post to delete the name of the Ettalong surgery I was referring to as being substandard above. It actually is only named after the doctors that work there, so I don't see how it is "defaming" anyone. <snip>
Anyway, useful info for anyone moving to that area so thanks. :) |
