Peel Health Care, Tamworth

This surgery has a conglomerate of doctors, so if you can't see your own, you can oftentimes see another. Although sometimes you have to wait a week or two, sometimes up to three weeks for an appointment, Peel Health Care has its own nursing bay with duty doctor and if you're in urgent need of medical care, you can generally see a sister straight away or within 24-48 hours; who will oftentimes get the duty doctor to tend you, if needed. This nursing bay also tend to basic injections, pap smears, dressing changes etc., which takes the strain off the doctors' waiting lists.

The nurses and doctors are proficient, efficient and friendly, as are the reception staff.



Doctors don't rush you through, listen attentively and follow-up readily with a phonecall in the event of test results needing further investigation.

Bulk billing available in some cases, with certain doctors.

Comfortable seating, with outdoor benches, a taxi bay at the door and ample facility parking. A small cafe/kiosk across the way if you need a munch. Clean interior public toilets. A hop, skip and jump, across the highway to Northgate Shopping Centre, Coles and chemist.

The only downside of this surgery really is access if arriving/departing on foot or via public transport (bus) - the highway one must cross is terribly hazardous, the traffic fast and prolific - and there is no pedestrian crossing.

Apart from that, a great practice to be with.
