Hi,

I am a mum of two and am thinking of having another baby. I have only been living in Gungahlin for a year and have previous kept my fantastic GP in Tuggeranong. I am worried that with 2 toddlers and being pregnant it will be too far to go. Does anyone know of any really good GP's in Gunglahlin? I would aslo be interested in any ratings of Calvary as I had my other 2 in the TCH.

Thanks

Manda

I have heard that Michael at the Palmerston Doctors is supposed to be really great with Kids. We are going to him the next time the kids get sick.

We go to Dr Michael Gan at the Palmerston Medical Centre and he is fantastic. He is great with our 2 boys and also with DH and myself, we couldn't ask for a better doctor.

Hi there. We go to see Dr Grundel at the Gunghalin Marketplace shops. Never have to wait sto get in to see her if you ring in the mornings (usually can get in that same day) she is good but she is hard to understand (think she is Russian) she just speaks very slowly to me. There is also some other doctors in the surgery (basically 2 pratices out of the one building)

I really like Sandy Viketos at the Palmerston Medical Centre, and the other doctors there have been great when I've needed to get myself or the kids in in a hurry.

They can be really crowded, but I've never been unable to get an appointment for myself or the children on the same day when it's been urgent.

Dr. Tim Watson for the kiddies
or doctor Pahn? (i think it is)
they are great, Dr. Pahn stitched up Carina when she split her chin open (lets not get started on that though) he was really great, waited for probably 1/2 hour for me to come beause i wouldnt let him do it without mummy to be there, I didnt want the stupid <insert some rude words here> nanny to be there and not mummy (oops i got started)
and he waited for half an hour to get there before he did anything.the whole appointment went for a while, 15 mins to see her clean it up, and diagnose stitches, then wait for me, then to give her a local, stitch it up, with her SCREAMING and then waiting for her to calm down.
I feel sorry for the other people waiting to see him though.

Sorry i got carried away.

For me i see dr. Parrarerra ( i cant spell to save my life tonight)
