After being a patient at Mana Medical Centre for nearly 40 years , I am appalled at how far this practice has fallen. My recent experience with Dr. Karageorge was the breaking point. He was, as usual, unavailable - so I was sent to a locum doctor who, without any consultation, halved one of my long-standing medications.nWhen I called to request a repeat prescription, I explained what had happened and asked for the regular amount to be dispensed. Instead of correcting the mistake - or even continuing the reduced dose - Dr. Karageorge flat-out declined the prescription and demanded another $72 consult to get a medication I’ve been on for many, many years.nThis is not patient care. It’s arrogance, indifference, and a complete disregard for continuity and safety. After almost 40 years of loyalty, I expected respect and professionalism. Instead, I was treated like a nuisance and forced to pay for their own error.nIf you value your health, your time, and basic human decency, do not trust Mana Medical Centre. They have lost their way, and Dr. Karageorge epitomizes everything wrong with this practice. Shameful. Never again.
Went in Dec 2022 and I had no issues on the day. The doctor who appears to have now left the centre was fine. I went to reception to pay on the day, and they insisted I paid via invoice. I did not receive any invoice until January. They added an Overdue Account fee. Genuine scam. When I pointed this out to reception, they ignored it. Moreover, MMC previously unenrolled me without making proper contact. I highly recommend staying away from here.
I had an 8:00am appointment at Mana Medical, but the doctor didn’t see me until 8:05. We briefly discussed two issues, but neither was properly looked at. When I raised a third issue, I was told, “We won’t have enough time for this, let’s book another appointment.” I checked my phone. It was 8:10.nnAn appointment shouldn’t effectively become 5 minutes, especially when the delay wasn’t on my end. It’s frustrating to be asked to book and pay for another visit just to cover concerns that should have been addressed in the first place.
Mana Medical Centre provides an extremely poor level of service. We arrived only five minutes late and they refused to give my baby her vaccines, yet they made me wait ten minutes to see the doctor even though there wasn’t a single patient there. The receptionist was very rude and completely unprofessional, with no basic courtesy. The doctor gave my baby a completely incorrect diagnosis, and the nurse had to google information about the vaccines before giving me guidance. It is honestly shocking that this place is still operating. The service is terrible, the staff lack knowledge, and they have absolutely no sensitivity when dealing with a baby. I would never recommend this clinic to anyone.
Had enough! I am looking at moving from this practice, I do not feel they have my health in their best interests any longer. This practice used to be great when it was run by Vic Allcock and Mike Lyons. Under the new or not so new management things have really taken a dive. I can very rarely get appointments with my regular doctor Karageorge more about him later as he’s booked out weeks in advance due to only working part time. I have asked to be moved under another doctor’s care only to be told we are not reallocating patients at this time. This means I’m persistently bounced between different doctors every-time I need to discuss a new issue. I have the following feedback about this practice -nn1. Restrictive Consultation PolicynThe rule limiting patients to a maximum of two medical issues per consultation, regardless of whether the allocated 15-minute time slot allows for more, is unnecessarily rigid and counterproductive. This policy forces patients to book multiple appointments for related concerns, creating inconvenience and additional costs without any clear clinical benefit.n2. Excessive Medication Review RequirementsnThe requirement for six-monthly medication reviews, when the legal obligation is only once per year, appears unjustified. While I appreciate the importance of medication safety, this policy imposes an unnecessary financial burden on patients and gives the impression that revenue generation is being prioritized over patient care.n3. Professional Conduct and CommunicationnOn several occasions, I have found your manner, Dr. Karageorge, to be curt and dismissive. This lack of engagement and empathy makes it difficult to discuss health concerns openly and undermines the trust that is essential in a doctor-patient relationship.nnOverall ConcernnThese policies and interactions suggest that the practice is operating more like a business than a healthcare provider focused on patient well-being. I urge you to review these practices and consider whether they align with the principles of patient-centered care.
