Gawler Medical Clinic

I’ve seen a few different doctors at this clinic and have always had a positive experience.
All my concerns are looked into with care.
My mental health care has been also been great and even when I’ve needed referrals to specialists my doctor is always helping me and giving me the familiarity of her visits to keep me on track

Thank you to the receptionist and the doctor who helped me today, 37 weeks pregnant and suffering from Covid. No one else wanted to help me as I had an ear infection, they all told me to head to finders hospital (I live in willaston not ideal) regardless of me not going to this surgery for years they still made the time and effort to do a phone consultation and got me the medication required. Thank you

Great staff and Drs. Sometimes a bit late. But they have an important job and sometimes have to take extra time to take care of others and yourself. You might meet a Dr that is in a bad mood. They might be Drs but they are still human.

Wonderful Dr’s especially Dr Smit and Dr Marshall ! Alway professional and always go above and beyond ! The admin team are great especially Krissy.

Fantastic services, thank you Dr Marshall, it's not often I feel comfortable or understood by health professionals. Compassion and experience that is greatly appreciated !

Been going here for years now. Always seen great doctors and the admin staff are always friendly and helpful.

Dr Marshall is a fab Dr with real sincerity and empathy.
She is also a great voice for dyslexia.

I attended my usual practice but with a different dr today . I have been sick for past 5 days , fatigued , headaches , fever , terrible cough and loss of voice . Finally decided to see a doctor . Was told to sit outside (it was freezing cold too )because I had “cold and flu symptoms” despite me having two Pcr tests for covid return negative, one just the day before . The doctor came outside and asked if we could do consult outside . I said no , I wasn’t being consulted in the car park . We went inside , she quickly listened to my chest then gave me a form to get covid Pcr and whooping cough test and that was that . Said it was viral and couldn’t give me anything . Total lack of empathy and it appeared like she couldn’t get me out of her office quick enough ! I think we have moved past the “segregating the people with cold and flu symptoms “and relegating them to sit by themselves in the car park out in the freezing cold to wait for a doctor . I didn’t have covid , I was wearing a mask so why was I still being told to sit outside in the cold !!! So disappointed .

Do NOT see Dr Elaine Rodgers. I wanted a long term solution to my health issue (like removal of tonsils) and instead she tells me there is nothing wrong and it must be reflux.. No Elaine! Its reoccurring throat infections! Pretty sure she thought I just wanted drugs when I actually wanted a solution and she couldn't even acknowledge an infection. No one has $40 to waste in this economy so thanks for that..

If you are looking for someone with empathy at this clinic, I suggest you try another practice. My grandson, who has attended this practice in the past with mental health issues, was refused an appointment for on going mental health issues, as he owed them $70.00. Even though his mother, when she found out offered to pay the outstanding amount. He is caring for a 7 month old baby together with his partner. Absolutely lacking in empathy, no regard for the safety of the baby. Avoid at all costs.

Been going to this surgery for 10yrs or more but last few years it's been getting worse wait times staff not helpful doctors not available.
Today I waited over an hour with a 2yr old outside to see a doctor for 1 script. I had to cancel the appointment after waiting an hour to feed and get my child home for her regular nap. So I wasted time fuel etc for nothing. Just wanted a script that iv been on for 8yrs it's just discussting behaviour by the surgery to make people wait longer the 30min for a doctor. Something needs to be done about it very poor
