ABOUT US
Our Practice & Core Values
Coolaroo Clinic was founded in 1989 by Dr John Hodgson and Dr Andrew Ramsay. Dr Dominic Yong then became a partner in 2000. Together they continue to own and operate the practice.
The clinic consists of general practitioners, medical specialists and ancillary allied health practitioners who complement each other and strive towards our objective of providing quality health care. This gives our patients a full range of services, conveniently in one location. Our doctors have many years of experience and come from a diverse range of skills in General Practice.
Our clinic is also well known for providing Occupational Health Care. Our services include Pre-Employment Medical Examinations, Work-Related Injury Management and Onsite Services to your workplace.
Coolaroo Clinic is a bulk billing medical clinic. Our Practice bulk bills all patients with a valid Medicare Card including:
✓ Centrelink Concession cards
✓ Veteran Affairs entitlement card
✓ Under the age of 16 years
Patients of our practice are able to access a doctor by telephone to discuss their clinical care. In non-urgent situations, patient calls need not interrupt consultations with other patients and a message is left with the doctor.
Most tests take a few days to be returned to the Doctor. It is standard practice that patients make an appointment to discuss their results with the Doctor in person. Our Doctors will not provide this service over the phone unless in cases of emergency.
Our clinic is recognised for its caring doctors and friendly staff. We pride ourselves on our excellent medical services, and are committed to providing you with the best quality care and level of satisfaction during your visit with us.
If you have any words of appreciation in praise of the care provided to you by the staff or Doctors of this clinic, or are dissatisfied in any way with the care of service delivery provided, we would encourage you to document your concerns and give the form to our reception staff. These forms are available at front reception. Downloadable forms are also available on this page for Compliments / Complaints Form and Privacy Brochure.
