Clifton Hill Medical Group - Dr. Lora Gurney

Clinic cancelled my appointment the day of, due to their own administrative mistake (Dr had a meeting at the time I was booked in apparently). No other local GP's have any other appointments for four days - I am very disappointed with this.

I would not recommend this place - very incompetent.

We are on holidays here and my 2 year grandaughter became ill. An appointment was given within an hour and she was seen by Dr Young. He was caring concerned and professional. He called the next day to check up on her.
Very impressed.

I attended this clinic for about 5 years. I saw multiple doctors at the clinic. I was trying get a referral for a laparoscopy procedure because judging all of my symptoms I was almost certain I had endometriosis. Every doctor told me it’s probably unlikely I have it. In fact one doctor spoke to me and said “it’s highly unlikely you have it” and prescribed me a packet of ponstan to take each month for the pain. Which unsurprisingly didn’t work. After seeking out support from an endocrinologist elsewhere and finally getting the surgery. I have been diagnosed. It took me 12 years. Almost half of those were spent at this clinic.

This clinic sadly relies on the reputation of a couple of good doctors. The quality of my interactions with them got progressively worse over time. If you’re younger and seeking out doctors who are well-informed on diet, mental health and women’s issues. I would strongly encourage you to go elsewhere.

Very friendly reception and great Doctors and nurses. I really love CHMG and am so glad we are patients of theirs.

I have been seeing dr Laura Gurney since I was a little kid! When she is not available I see other doctors and they are all so calm and helpful!

I have read some reviews on here that rated a 1 most doctors make you wait and that's expected. People go in needing help and you never know how long it will take. I don't think you realise what the doctors process is to set up and see a client! Appreciate that you have a good doctor on hand. Organise your day better so you are not stressing to get from A to B!

Best GP clinic in Melbourne, and Dr Lora Gurney is the best of them. Been a px for over 20 years. Very thoughtful and caring group.

Chronically incapable of setting an appointment time and actually meeting it. Appointments in the evening regularly run an hour late. Don't bother, go somewhere where doctors keep appointments.

I have been with the clinic for many years, even after I moved a few suburbs away, and have seen most of the doctors - from medical certificates to life changing events. All professional, caring, patient. They have provided me with referrals for excellent specialists. And shared-care was great with Dr Hamilton when I was pregnant. Handy pathology collection behind the clinic. Nurses are lovely and take time needed. The only problem might be getting in as a new patient as they often have a full patient list.

Great service and friendly understanding staff. Dr. Christos Papachristos is a great doctor, very understanding and pragmatic. Relaxed environment.

Excellent practice. I've been a patient for 20 years. All doctors and receptionists are pleasant and knowledgeable. Very difficult to get appointments because they are so good!

Great GPs here. Have to wait but there's a reason why - they're thorough and knowledgable. I'm lucky I got in as a new patient

Decent doctors, unfortunately you almost always have to wait at least 20 or more mins after your appointment time before you get seen (usually longer). Also, the receptionists with a couple of exceptions are highly incompetent.

Great GPs and Admin. Hard to get in as a new patient, but worth it.
Overall have found the GPs aren't "script happy"/will focus on lifestyle changes over prescriptions where possible.
Hot tip: when you arrive ask the Admin staff if you're GP is running on time. They'll give you a guesstimate & you can go to a local cafe for a coffee if there are a couple of people ahead of you.

Have been seeing Laura for over 20 years now even though we've moved home several times. Have never encountered a medical professional that's as patient, easy to converse with and trust worthy.

I have been going here for a long time. Always super helpful and professional. The doctor's know there stuff and you can trust them to look after you. Only reason i have to rate a 4 and not a 5 is because its hard to sign up a new patient. Took me 3 years of waiting for my partner to be able to join the same clinic as me.
