Dr Ryan Partridge. Emotional abuser, he gaslit me the entire time (he was my regular GP, so over several months) I saw him for my anxiety and depression, always speaking down to me, dismissing everything I said, speaking like a disapproving father, asking about "work" when I told him I'd just recently suffered a nervous breakdown (confirmed by my psychologist). Even the receptionist at Centrelink could see I needed help, and his comment to this was 'she's not a doctor'. Well neither are you. Doctors help people. I was only able to notice after researching it, and talking to other victims with

Best GP practice in Coffs in my view and I’ve tried nearly all of them I think. My GP Jeremy Allen is just simply the most down to earth, nice bloke anyone could ever meet…and he’s not a bad Dr either😀. Recently, Jeremy had to take some time away from the practice. I have some fairly complex needs, so I spoke with Tara the practice manager (also a… legend), and she recommended I see Dr Kate Heffernan. I was a bit concerned, having had one Dr for so long who understands my needs, but WOW. Kate is simply amazing. A lovely person, fantastic clinician made me feel

I am so impressed and grateful for the time that Dr Hart took with me as a new patient. He was thorough and kind and explained things clearly. The staff at the reception were friendly and helpful, and the whole experience was very easy and positive. Definitely recommend this practice.

The waiting room is very clean and COVID safe. The staff are very helpful. Dr Hart is excellent. He listens to what you have to say, unlike some others I have encountered.
