Dr Harb, Dr James, Jo and all the other doctors and nurses are professional, caring and give exceptional medical advice. Would highly recommend.
Edit: just reading the other reviews and am shocked by multiple similar reviews clearly left by the same person: "Trav Roo". "Trav ROO" and "Travis Roorda". It is very low and suspicious to create multiple accounts to leave 1 star reviews.

I attended this clinic for my COVID-19 vaccine and all the staff, nurses and doctors were extremely professional, polite and friendly. The whole process was quick and seamless. A big shout out to Jo for being so well organised and ensuring all her patients were comfortable and in good care prior and post vaccination. Can't thank them enough for a great experience. Highly recommend!!

Dr Narges is one of the best doctors Ive ever seen. Have been going there for many years and would highly recommend her service. If you want quality care you can count on Dr Narges. She really puts in 200% to ensure she understands each patient and their conditions. She has great knowledge in her field and would always send you to a specialist to ensure you get professional advice or treatment. Highly recommend if you have a family with young children, she is very specialised with taking care of families.
