Collins Place Medical Clinic

I work in the medical profession. I have moved around a lot over the years so I have seen lots of doctors and can make some good comparisons.
I have been going here for about 6 years so I have seen a few doctors at this practice. I prefer to stick with one when possible but sometimes schedules and urgent issues don’t allow that. The doctors (Dr Oh, Dr Khoo, Dr Civitico) I have seen are all very good. They provide thoroughness and consistency that you just don’t get at the big commercial chain practices.
They do charge above the Medicare fee and ask you to pay the entire fee up front but they do forward the details to Medicare on your behalf for reimbursement directly from medicare for the standard amount.
They have an onsite collection centre for HealthScope pathology so you can one stop shop if needed.

Centrally located on the corner of Collins and Exhibition in a beautiful old building above the (currently under renovation) NAB — a refreshing and genuine interest in patient health and well being in a professional environment. Thorough skin checks, and a sense if humour to make you feel comfortable.

Until I actually thought about writing this review I’ll be honest and say I never really gave the calibre of my doctor and her surgery much thought. I mean, she’s fantastic and I happily recommend her to people, but can you really get excited about a medical clinic?
On reflection though, I found that it’s possible to think about your experiences in that place to date and realise you have very little to fault.
I see two doctors at this clinic — Dr Trish Civitico and Dr Graeme Edwards. Both are great!
Whilst Collins Place does bulk bill, a regular appointment will still need you to pay a certain amount over and above that. After your Medicare rebate, it works out to be about $ 15. They do however bulk bill vaccinations and the full cost is covered.
I started going to CPMC when I worked across the road… and whilst I no longer work there, I still make the trip into the city because the experience here is consistently great… and when you’re sick, you want consistency and predictability, right?
