Is there a doctor in the house?

Now as you are mostly well aware I have a somewhat complex medical history and while I like my Doctor well enough I would really like one over this side of the city. (This side being the North) So I was wondering if you have any suggestions for places to go. I'm due to start another course of treatments soon (actually I have been putting it off for

I work at a really good medical clinic in carlton. We have a number of excellent Dr's, I know a few know about endocrin, not sure about derm, but they are really good and very adept at seeking out info if they don't have it on hand.

Want to shoot me the details in an email?

thank-you and hope you feel better soon!!

Oooh... I might have to bug arienmir for those details when I see her. The most serious of my various medical conditions is endocrine in nature.

Don't go to the clinic up on the corner of Bell St and Sydney Rd. They do okay for the bog-standard sniffles and prescription renewals (and bulk-bill everyone, so cost isn't a factor with them), but I've been generally unimpressed to the extent that I'll avoid using them for anything terribly serious.

I've considered seeking out a good GP myself, but haven't gotten around to it since the only reason I've been to doctors since coming to the above conclusion has been prescription renewals.

Though, I'll warn that I have high standards for medical care. Before moving to Melbourne, I got used to access to the very best of doctors. It's been quite a while since my parents effectively were my doctors, but if they make disapproving noises when a doctor's name is mentioned, I know I'll do better with someone else.
