This is one of the worst doctors I have ever been to when it comes to mental health, I have been twice, after the first time I didn’t go back for two years and found a new doctor, today I went as my usual doctors was booked out.

The first time I went there to talk about possible medication for my depression, I was outright asked by the doctor “well do you want to kill yourself today?” After I replied no, I was then told there wasn’t much he could do for me, he then questioned me about my background saying I clearly wasn’t the ethnicity I put because it wasn’t on my file, after saying it must have been an administrative error by the staff I was scoffed at, after he was rude to me a couple more times I left in tears.

Today (02/12/19) I went for a simple medical certificate and was told that because I was not a regular patient there I was not being bulk billed and would be charged $75, when I asked why I was being charged for a medical certificate and if they offered Medicare money back (this is a bulk billing practice) he told me “I don’t do that but you’re not getting it” he later questioned me about who my doctor was and then checked my prescription to make sure I was telling the truth about who my doctor was, he then told me that I could just be going in on my own terms and not because my boss allowed me the day but requested a MC, he told me reluctantly he will give me a medical certificate but he’s charging me, he then handed me back my prescription and said “take care” without even looking at me.

I went to the counter to pay and the receptionist was confused as to why I was being charged, I said I didn’t know and when she called him she said I shouldn’t be charged and when she hung up she told me it was being bulk billed.
