Newcomb Women and Children's Medical Clinic

They do their very best to accommodate bookings no matter how short the notice. But most importantly have quality doctors. With a very special shout out to Dr Bernadette who as a parent watching her interact with my child just blew my mind. She has an encyclopaedia of knowledge and a personal touch that not only puts kids at ease but gets the job done with the minimum of distress. Can't talk highly enough of this centre.

Dr Daad Kafi,
Is the most caring dr we’ve had in a long time.
A lot of drs in the past have refused to let me go in with husband ( who is deaf and has a cochlear implant to help him hear at all. ).
So it’s been hard with him coming out not knowing what was said.
Just a pity there aren’t more drs in the group.
An update is they have quite a few drs on board now another lady dr is dr Bernadette Hunt.
And quite few male drs work a few days a week.
So please if you need a great clinic give this a go.

Highly recommend this clinic, especially Dr Daad. Multiple positive experiences with her and found her to be thorough, caring and explains everything clearly. One of best bulk billing doctors I’ve been to over the years.

Was treated nicely and kindly by the staff and the doctors. I didnt have to wait long and I felt the medical care was really great.

I am always looked After and given the Best Care, I have never waited more than 15 mins, 😀⚘😀⚘

Best medical centre in Geelong. The doctors are extremely thorough. You wont find any better.

Best team of doctors in the surf coast area

Great doctors

i recently came here for the first time the other week and dr bernadette hunt was absolutely amazing highly recommended going to her, but when i called to book another appointment to get some tests back i was given a male doctor as dr Bernadette is away, it was a phone conversation and he was so arrogant i cannot believe that is how he spoke to people he talks very quietly and i could barely hear him, i called back to find out something that wasn’t clearly discussed with me and i was confused, he was passive aggressive with me for asking him to clarify something then became very arrogant i unfortunately do not remember his name but i also had a friend who heard the conversation and was also is disbelieve this is how a doctor spoke to a young girl. In no way am i disrespecting the clinic they all seem very lovely but that one male doctor i hope i never have to deal with again.

We had recently moved to Geelong when I chose to visit a GP in this centre after I found out that I am pregnant. I received the least care that I could think of; my referral letter to the hospital was not received and I had to follow up several times. I had a fever of 40 degrees with abdominal pain and the GP sent me home instead of referring to a hospital. They never followed up with my tests and ultrasound results. The ignorance of this service in their care led to loosing my first 13-week baby!

There should be a zero rating. 1 star is to generous. Incompetent Doctor time and time again. Have been going there for years, but NO MORE. When a doctor can't do a simple task. l have given up. If you don't value your health, by all means give him a go.

So extremely disappointed in my last two visits that I will not be returning. This has been my local GP for almost 4 years but I will now be moving on.

The first visit that disappointed me earlier this year is when I saw Dr. Daad Kafi to ask for a private midwifery referral for my pregnancy care. She advised this did not align with her beliefs, and refused to sign the referral. As a patient I should be able to chose how I would like to be cared for during my pregnancy with the support of my GP. So that was really disheartening as she had been my preferred GP in the clinic for years prior.

The second visit I had was with Dr. Farouq Salman which was to ask for a script and referral to get an iron infusion done at a clinic my midwife recommended to me. He saw my blood work results and agreed I needed one, but again, once he realised I had a private midwife he quickly turned down my request. He advised earlier on in the appointment that they could do the infusion there, which I didn’t realise and said I don’t mind where I get it done, I just need it organised. But once he understood my pregnancy care he was not on board for that option either.

The lack of support in care is absolutely terrible. I will no longer recommend the clinic to anyone.

To add though, the receptionists have always been lovely so please keep that up.

Had an appointment here late on a Saturday. Ended up being seen about 5 mins before close.

Receptionist was lovely. Very helpful and friendly.

Doctor obviously had somewhere else to be. Rude. No bedside manner to a scared and ill 4 year old.

Then capped off - he missed an ear infection diagnosis and we ended up with a very sick child the next day.

If I could give 0 stars I would went back to see Dr Suman Teenakoon, his the most rudest doctor I’ve ever come across he thinks he can talk down to women and children.. Also abuses the elderly. Don’t know how he got his doctors license, I think he may off got it from the back of the wheety box! Will not be back also gonna report him and the clinic to the ombudsman.
