Reception staff (Tayla specifically) went out of her way to explain some confusions I had regarding billing. Fantastic reception service. Dr Sarah-Beth Magambo and Dr Michele McGrath are both fantastic clinicians that I recommend to all friends and family.

Always come away well informed. Love that the doctors (all drs) always give you the time you need to address any concerns and treat you like an individual and not a number, which is the reason why I will continue to take my family to IFMC.

Great doctors. Loved the fact Dr Mitchell spoke to my son explaining everything and included him in decisions about his care. Never feel rushed. Have seen three different doctors here now and found them all good. Dr Casey is also wonderful. The reception staff are friendly and approachable and more than happy to answer your questions. I would have no hesitation in recommending this practice to anyone.
