Professional and helpful visit with Dr Green to get my skin checked this morning. Dr Green explained the process and helped me to understand what I should and should not be worried about as well as what I should do to look after myself. Highly recommend a visit if you want your skin checked

Office is nice and tidy and in line with Covid safety. Staff are helpful and friendly. Just a bit out of the way from train station. Good access if you work in the area (Chiefly/Martin Place).

Friendly and welcoming reception staff, followed by the most comprehensive full body skin check I’ve had. Whilst young, I have a previous history of Melanoma. Dr Green completed a thorough check of any spot that looked slightly unusual, and talked me through the different characteristics of cancer types.Paid $165 for the check, but receive $75 back from Medicare. A low price for piece of mind and brilliant bed-side manner.

I’ve seen both Dr Green and Dr Aldous at this clinic and have had good experiences with both. They were friendly, caring and thorough. The online booking system is very easy to use. It was also convenient to have a pathology in the clinic so that blood tests could be done immediately.

I have been going to O'Connell St Clinic for I think 18-19 years since it was previously at the Gateway Building. The reason I keep going here is because of the staff and also the fact that the clinic is extremely professional and always runs on time. The staff are lovely, the reception staff are always friendly and extremely helpful especially Tom, they are a credit to the clinic. I have been seeing Dr James Chesworth for all this time and he is a very thorough, caring and wise person. He always takes time to explain things, rather than rush through and I feel that he listens really well and wants to get the best treatment possible for me. . I don't work in the CBD anymore but will keep going to this clinic because I've tried others and they are no way as good. Thank you everyone at O'Connell Street for providing such an excellent service.

After the first few minutes of speaking with Nick it was clear his knowledge was right up there! Everything he explained made perfect sense and I valued his honest approach in finding the right solution for my issues. I look forward to continuing my recovery with Nick's help.

I visited the clinic today for my USA Visa medical examination and the staff were just wonderful. Most of my dealings were with Tom and Mark and both were just so helpful and very informative. The nurses who assisted me today were very professional and Dr Rosemary is such a delight and has the most fabulous pair of red boots. I highly recommend this clinic if you are currently going through the USA Visa program and I wish you the best of luck. Susan

Well i don’t want to write this but you guys send me an email asking for a review, well there you goI booked a consultation session through the phone number from Sydney Sports Podiatrist website, it was my first time i have no idea they share the space with the clinic,I went there at 3 pm , i have no idea they booked me with a GP instead of the Podiatrist, in the middle of session I realised something off so i asked her and she said she is not the specialists, so she talked to the receptionist and explain what happened, the clinic still charges me with discounts because i already done the session,clearly understand that’s a human error, i already have referrals from my local GP to see Podiatrist specialists, I don’t have medicare so i am not really happy to pay for information that already know,It was a nice and clean clinic by the way that’s why i still rate 2 stars

I am most impressed by the O'Connell Street Clinic. It is well located in the Sydney CBD and the online booking engine works very well with both bookings and reminders. The team at reception when you arrive are very professional - Tom remembers patients' names - and the spread-out waiting area puts patients at ease. During COVID they have responded very well with their own small hand sanitisers (patents can keep) and also fresh pens in sealed containers for new clients competing forms. Staff have been wearing masks during this COVID time. Appointments occur on time. Dr James Chesworth is excellent and thoughtful and one never feels under time pressure. I find the O'Connell Street clinic to be first class and will continue to use it.

I wish O'Connell St clinic was my local clinic- I had a fantastic experience there. I saw 4 different heath professionals during my visit and each one was extremely kind, experienced and made me feel very comfortable.

Dr Stan Green is, in my experience, the best in the business when it comes to monitoring skin cancers. I have been seeing him for 7 years or more, and find him extremely thorough and very friendly.

I have been attending this practice for several years and would highly recommend Dr Kim as a GP. She has been unfailingly thorough, knowledgeable and empathetic.There is a gap payment (since the cost of consultation is above the Medicate rebate), but it is not excessive and seems appropriate given the location and level of care (for example, my appointments have always started on time and had the full duration of the appointment to ask questions).I was also able to have travel immunisations given by a nurse after an initial consultation with the GP, which was convenient.

Dr Aldous has been my doctor for more than six years and during that time she has never failed to deliver excellent care. She's invariably warm, professional and holistic in her approach. I'm 100% confident I'm getting reliable medical information that's always appropriate to my situation. And the support staff are lovely, nothing is ever too much trouble. Highly recommended.

Friendly GPs and reception team who have supported my family and I over 6 years of living in Sydney. From major injuries, pregnancy and mental health support as well as the usual flu shots and regular check ups, Gemma Kim has been professional friendly and gone above our expectations. Thank you everyone for keeping us so well!

Andrew listened to my foot issues patiently, even though mine was Xmas eve last appointment! He discussed various options for my wide feet, showed me a good exercise, explained a bit of the science behind my problem, taped the worst part of the right foot tightly and neatly, and explained about the type of shoes i should try to buy. All very practical and helpful, and i will go back in the New Year to see what i can do to help my hurt heel area.
