    The best!! I have travelled extensively over the last 15 years and have regularly gone to Dr Deb. Her staff are always friendly, courteous and extremely professional. The quality of service is second to none and her thorough analysis of my needs has meant I have traveled well informed and ready for any problem!! On the odd occasion when I or one in my party became unwell, the products and instructions provided in the travel medicine kit assisted us greatly to ensure a fast and safe recovery. I thoroughly recommend her services.

    A hidden gem. Hard to find but exceptional medical service. Stars are Dr John Sakala & Dr Richard Nobel & super star Dr Sydney Lau. Couple of good lady doctors. Bulk billing available to Australian health card holders including on Sat & Sun. Emergency procedures room for minor accidents (don't whine if you have to wait while an emergency goes in ahead of you one day it might be you). Genuine interest in patients by doctors. Get newsletter at front desk to see which Dr likes to do what. If you go during lunch make sure you allow for might be running behind and ring reception to check.

    I went on a Saturday for travel vaccinations. I have extreme needle phobia (have had panic attacks in the past) and advised the receptionist when making my booking. I think her name is Kristy ..? .. Kristy was very understanding and extremely patient with me. She went through every detail and answered every question as best she could, and placed me on hold while she went and consulted a doctor/nurse if she didn't know the answers. When I went to my appointment with my support buddy, I found that the kind, patient, professional service extended from the doctor, receptionist and nurse. Everyone was amazing! One needle. Zero panic attacks. Highly recommended Dr Deb's services. Thank you!

    Everything and everyone i encountered on my visit to Dr. Debs was fantastic. Dr. Deb and the nurse i saw ( her name i forget) were full of knowledge and happy to share this. Very reasonably priced in compared to other practices i researched. Will be visiting again for all my future travel needs :)

    Excellent service from Dr. Deb, RN Susan and the reception staff. I was counselled about recommended vaccines for my upcoming trip, advised about disease prevention and provided with all required medications and a sheet to schedule the taking of two oral vaccines concurrently. My vaccination booklet was neatly filled out and date-stamped. I received a free flu shot too, and I bought some DEET spray. Other travel-related items are offered for sale as well. I was given a copy of Dr. Deborah Mills’s book, "Travelling Well," which is full of helpful information and reminds me of what I was told during the consultation.

    With fear ( injections ) and trepidation ( doctors) I first visited Dr Deb many many years ago on first ever trip to Thailand back in late 80's . Now with many travel miles under my belt , fear of needles under control , and no hesitation walking into a surgery , I have one person to thank , and that's Dr Deb !! Have travelled on every adventure with her Medical kit packed , which fingers crossed.. Has helped others more than myself ! I couldn't recommend more highly Dr Deb and her team of staff for ( people with fear of needles like me !) great travel advice and knowledge of what to look out for in your travels!

    Excellent and quick service but I found it relatively expensive compared to other GPs. I would recommend asking for a full costs disclosure prior to booking. I was charged a $120 consultation fee, plus a 'treatment room' fee of $35. Vaccine costs were on the high side compared to a popular pharmacy, but cannot fault the great service and the convenience. 4/5.

    I had my second covid booster here and couldn't be happier. Close to work, perfectly on time, clean waiting room and because a nurse administers the booster I didn't have to pay for a GP appointment and the vaccination was bulk billed. No charge. Very happy!

    I recently went to see Dr Deb before my trip to the South Pacific. Friendly, fast and efficient is how I would describe the team. They covered everything that I needed to know and more! I highly reccommend a visit to this practice, they are an affordable, professional 'one-stop shop' that will cover all of your medical concerns with ease. Thanks again guys!

  • 5/5 Linda A. 8 years ago on Google
    We have used Dr Deb's clinic for all our travel health for many years now. Her staff are very helpful and we have complete confidence in their care and advice.

  • 5/5 Warwick F. 8 years ago on Google
    Great Service and speedy results!!! had to travel on short notice, went to see Dr Deb and the crew, and was SORTED! All shots, advice and and Medical Kit (including permissions/authority for other medicines I was taking as well) included. Professional, polite, good advice and speedy - just want you want. Great work guys, will be back to see for the next journey!!

  • 5/5 Renee M. 8 years ago on Google
    I have been a patient of Dr Deb The Travel Doctor since 2000. Dr Deb and all her staff are always professional and thorough. Dr Deb's clinic has not only looked after my family for our pre and post travel requirements but also our yearly flu vaccinations. The Doctors and Nurses are very well trained and extremely knowledgeable about travel. I always recommend this clinic to family and friends and will continue to do so!

  • 5/5 Sophie J. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful, kind nurses and doctor. Very thorough and always on time and even early! I appreciated the staffs' consideration of student budget also.

  • 5/5 Samantha B. 8 years ago on Google
    Easy to book as I left it pretty late in the afternoon to book and Dr Debb is a lovely lady who is very knowledgeable. All the staff there are kind and friendly and the little clinic has a lot of international things in it so you feel like your already on holiday. Highly recommended you go here before travelling.

  • 5/5 Sarah E. 8 years ago on Google
    I just had my second consultation with Dr. Deb's Clinic and couldn't recommend the experience more highly. I completely disagree with Alex's post and was surprised at the negative feedback. My first consultation came about after I questioned my GP about what I needed to go to South America.........she googled it.... she gave me her opinion but admitted that as this was not her "specialty" it was best I seek the diagnosis of a travel doctor. Needless to say, if I took my GP's advice I would have had many more vaccines than I really needed, and even though she is a great GP, she had no idea about travel medicine. And she wouldn't have been able to give me the Yellow Fever Vaccine anyway, which is such a crucial vaccine to have for the areas I was going to in these countries. I didn't realise this, but there are only very few clinics that are accredited to give Yellow Fever vaccines, which is so important if you want to get back in to Australia after visiting certain YF countries!!!!! Im so glad I went to Dr. Deb's clinic and found this out beforehand!!! At Dr. Deb's I ended up having less vaccines than what my GP advised and because Deb's clinic stocks all of the vaccines onsite, I didn't need to get a script.....then go to the chemist...then book another appointment for the GP/nurse to give me the vaccine. It was done straight away, with no fuss. Dr. Deb's staff are amazing, so lovely and helpful. I don't have a lot of money and like to travel very cheaply and after adding up costs of vaccines at other clinics/pharmacies, this clinic is the best! At the end of the day, it is health that is real wealth, not gold or silver! Stoked! Would recommend this clinic to everyone who travels!!!!!

  • 1/5 Alison L. 8 years ago on Google
    Staff are nice, but push vaccinations that are not necessary and charge more than you would pay at your local GP.

  • 5/5 Kevin C. 7 years ago on Google
    I have been going to Dr. Deb's excellent clinic for my medical travel needs and advice for well over a decade and find the staff extremely knowledgeable and efficient. Since I travel to exotic locations on a regular basis, I need professionals who know their business. That's Dr. Deb's - I wouldn't go anywhere else.

  • 5/5 Hilary de B. 1 year ago on Google
    What a lovely experience with The Travel Dr. excellent communication and professionalism from Dr. Lisa Chapman lovely lady and the staff and nurse were excellent as well. Made our trip feel even more comfortable knowing that we have all the information one needs to travel oversea. Thankyou all from us both. Recommend

  • 5/5 Nick R. 7 years ago on Google
    Great service, very friendly staff and Dr Deb is very helpful and knowledgeable - you will even get her own book with all the medical related travel advice you could ask for!

  • 2/5 Tahlene G. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff lovely. Doctor made two errors regarding previous immunisations - did not read immunisation history statement correctly. My son had an unnecessary immunisation as a result.

  • 5/5 Zoe M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very impressed! The doctor took her time, was very thorough and explained each suggested vaccination/medication with me. The nurse was just as wonderful, and went through the details again to ensure I didn't miss anything. The level of care here is oustanding!

  • 5/5 Gigi 1 year ago on Google
    Most amazing service and staff at Dr Deb’s! I couldn’t recommend highly enough. Dr Deb, the nurse I saw and the Admin staff were beyond helpful, genuine and personable. The best I’ve ever been to.

  • 5/5 Morgane M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience, everyone was super nice, we had all the explanation we needed, got all our vaccins done. Highly recommend Dr Deb The Travel Doctor.

  • 5/5 Zoe M. 1 year ago on Google
    This is my second review because I cannot recommend this clinic enough. Their expertise and patience is unmatched. Amie in particular is the loveliest nurse I’ve met, and was so kind and understanding when it came to my fear of needles. I’ve felt so comfy coming here, and feel much less fearful of future vaccinations because of this experience. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Kai B. 7 months ago on Google
    Great experience with super friendly, experienced staff who really want to ensure that you have the best travel experience possible. Couldn’t recommend them any higher!

  • 5/5 Julia S. 4 months ago on Google
    My husband and I have used Dr Deb The Travel Doctor for 5+ years, and Dr Deb is an encyclopaedia of up to date knowledge as regards vaccinations, remote area medical kits and precautions, and she shares all this knowledge in a helpful and clear way. She takes the worry away from planning a trip, obscure vaccinations are available at short notice and her book has been invaluable on several occasions. Her team are awesome too - special thanks to Mary and Christine who bend over backwards to accommodate requests for appointments at short notice. Their follow-up is prompt and efficient. Top marks and thanks to the whole team!

  • 5/5 ROB B. 3 months ago on Google New
    Great friendly service from absolute experts in health needs of overseas travellers. Perfect one stop shop for on the spot vaccinations and prescriptions. We would never go anywhere else.

  • 5/5 Jesse T. 3 months ago on Google New
    Excellent. Outstanding customer service and very reasonably priced. The lovely lady on the phone was extra helpful and informative. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Megan C. 5 years ago on Google
    I saw Dr Grey and she gave me a very comprehensive run down on what vaccinations I do and don't need for my trip to Vietnam. Did not rush the consultation or try to scare-monger me into vaccinations that are not necessary. Provided additional advice on first-aid pack to take and other precautions relevant to my trip.

  • 5/5 Gabriella T. 7 years ago on Google
    If I could give more stars, I would! Service was absolutely fantastic, and Dr Deb sincerely does whatever she can to help her patients. I had just come back from overseas and went in for my post-travel consultant. After the blood test which was done on the spot inside the clinic, I didn't need to come back in, because Dr Deb personally called me to discuss my results. This was my first time coming in to the clinic, and definitely won't be my last. I plan on booking an appointment with Dr Deb every time for a pre or post travel consult. The receptionist staff were excellent, and really did everything they could to cater to my needs. In the waiting room, there is plenty of entertainment for kids such as kids books,and this big life-sized toy tiger, which even gave me the urge to want to play with it. There's also plenty of great coffee table travel books. The beautiful ethnic artwork really does give the right atmosphere for anyone about to engage in, or coming back from their travels. There's not a single thing to fault! Both the staff and Dr Deb were terrific!!

  • 5/5 Jill H. 8 years ago on Google
    I have been to this clinic now a number of times and once again always find them knowledgable, thorough and professional. It is great that I was able to have a discussion about prevention of illness travelling and also what to do if I got sick. Vaccinations are incredibly important though only part of the knowledge that you need to have when travelling. I find that having this discussion with the clinic and knowing that they keep up to date invaluable. I have been a GP in the past and I gain enormously from these visits. The convenience is also fabulous. All the vaccinations are available and their travel kits are great providing step by step instructions on what to do.

  • 5/5 caron c. 6 years ago on Google
    My visit to Dr Debs clinic today was one of a very high standard. The nurses and doctors were extremely proffessional and the office staff went out if their way to help me make me feel comfortable as I had travelled a long distance for my appointment here. Thank you all very much and i would highly recommend this clinic to anyone.

  • 5/5 Simon H. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Andrew P. 7 years ago on Google
    I went to Dr Deb to get my shots for a trip to India. The Dr Deb staff were friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They clearly explained all options and consequences of various shots and addressed any concerns I had. The process was very efficient as everything is available onsite. (just a return booster for Rabies from memory) Very glad I chose Dr Deb - it put my mind at ease for the India trip. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Valda G. 8 years ago on Google
    Dr Deb was so professional in giving flu shots to all my staff. Also sent my team members to see her and her fabulous staff before they travelled overseas to make sure they were able to return healthy. When I travelled to UAE and Egypt I was able to use her advice (and preventative medication) to ensure I was well throughout my adventures. The trip would not have been the same without her care and dedication.

  • 5/5 Lexie M. 8 years ago on Google
    Dr Deb provided me with invaluable advice after I had a run in with a monkey in Thailand. Dr Deb had so much knowledge and information regarding post travel vaccinations, after consulting many practitioners it was Dr Deb who was able to put my mind at ease and answer all of the many questions I had. Many Thanks!!

  • 5/5 ros m. 6 years ago on Google
    When being overseas with children its a must to go and see Dr Deb prior. We recently got caught in Vietnam with a sick child and were able to email and call and talk to Dr Deb for advice as we had been to the surgery for updates on vaccines and travel advice before we left. Such peace of mind to have this service - thank you Dr Deb it was invaluable.

  • 5/5 Steve F. 7 years ago on Google
    I had the best experience with Dr Deb, my children (3 boys) and myself are going to a country with very strict Visa and School Immunisation policy. Dr Deb could not have been more helpful. I would highly recommend this business, especially if you have children.

  • 5/5 Jo A. 7 years ago on Google
    Dr Deb gave us detailed and up to date information for a number of our trips. Dr Deb and her consults are experts in the field of what is required for your medical safety in countries where disease is a risk. Our family was given vaccinations and also stomach bug meds and prevention tips. You will also receive a book to which you can refer for all sorts of minor medical complications which might arise on your travels. There are also travel packs available with a range of medications so that you don't have to source them in foreign countries. Thanks, Dr Deb. We will always come to you!
