Cottesloe Medical Centre

Dr Laura Dotto is a wonderful GP. She is compassionate, understanding, kind and was very thorough.

Had a poor experience with Deb Cowen-Jones but Ben is great and professional, if you come here I do recommend him.

Expect a long wait, at least an hour, although I have sat there for 2 before. Also expect to be charged if your appointment goes over time, (even if you've waited) and to be charged a no show fee if you are too sick to attend.
Some of the doctors are definitely worth the wait, such as Dr Mei June Lim (she is phenomenal and informative and the only one worth the wait), others are absolutely abysmal, with no empathy and treat you as if your problems are trivial; you are just cash in a flesh bag to them.

I went there for very first time today and they gave me an appointment with Laura Dotto. They said the consultation fee is $85 but the doctor ended up charging me $120, because we exceeded the limit time (20min) apparently I had extra 10mins. I honestly didn't count it. I know I was in the waiting room for a while, tho. I found it unfair. As J didn't meant to be there for long time. I only wanted a referral done to see specialist, dermatologist and nutritionist. But she never made the referral at all. And the worst she charged me the extra money apparently for the 'long chat' she was explaining the reasons why she won't give the referrals. I am very disappointed. I don't recommend this clinic to people from overseas like me, specially if you are under a student visa like us. Its very expensive for us and a totally waste of our money and time.

How can a practice be consistently running 45 - 60 mins late! Send your comments people - this is rorting the public health system.stop backing up patients and provide an efficient service!
never again.

I'm a little concerned about the service I received recently from a young male doctor. No real understanding of my situation. I explained I had received physio for a year on an issue but insisted on sending me to an OT but not informing me it was an OT. Kept calling them doctors which they are not. Seemed more intent on referral there because a family member worked there rather than understanding I had travelled two days to get to the city and was seeking a specialist referral. My time in the city is limited but this visit wasted my time. 15min appointment $140. I don't mind paying if the service is there, but this fellow seems hell bent on his agenda rather than understanding his client/patient. Referral notes to OT incorrect. I've been a client of one doctor there for over 30 yrs but he wasn't available. I'd recommend seeing a more experienced doctor.

My doctor just transferred to here and I am happy with Dr C-J thorough medical knowledge and down-to-earth approach. If my regular doctor is not available I reschedule and tough out wait.

Been going here for years with mixed results. Sometimes fantastic, sometimes rubbish. Medical professionals are good, service staff less so. Often rude and dismissive. Also hard to get an appointment.
I'd say give it a go if you live nearby but be ready for varying levels of satisfaction

Dr Cathy Barber was fantastic, helping with both a professional and personal approach. Willing to take that little extra time if needed.
