East Sydney Doctors
We have been part of the Darlinghurst community since 1984 when our original clinic opened at 407 Bourke St (formerly known as 407 Doctors). From our humble beginnings (above the Greek cake shop) with just 2 doctors, we have grown into a team of 15 doctors, 3 nurses, 2 psychologists, allied health practitioners and an international medical research team.

All our doctors and staff share the philosophy of providing high quality, caring health care for all patients. We are also committed to providing education for medical students, medical registrars and contributing to medical research. Our current location has been an art gallery for many years and our waiting room is a contemporary art space with regular exhibitions of local artists.

I've had my fair share of dodgy GP's, and finding East Sydney Doctors was a godsend. Every single doctor I have ever seen here has been extremely professional, eager to help and empathetic . This is the first GP where I have had my issues taken seriously. They run late sometimes, but they've always made up for it with appointments that are thorough and not in any way rushed.

I've been visiting this health service for over 10 years and they are so knowledgable, helpful and community minded. The art in the waiting room makes me feel good when I'm unwell. Check it out.

Staff was so friendly when getting my Covid-19 vaccine. It was fast and super easy - no real waiting.

If I only could choose a word.
Although the doctor has verbally APOLOGIZED for what they said, and I can pretend to myself that I FORGOT all about it, and other details, associated with my bookings and visit, I do not think that I would go to this place again. Or recommend it to anyone else.

I'm happy with the doctor but sadly this practice is let down by poor organisation and the most unfriendly reception desk I've ever dealt with. They also seem to hang up on you.

Always professional and friendly. Recommended by my previous GP who moved overseas. East Sydney Doctors has specialist GPs who go out of their way to care. I've now been going there for 5 years and never been happier. I have chronic illnesses and Ercel who sees me most is amazing.
I see some negative reviews from people who complain about wait times but during this Covid19 pandemic the receptionists have been under enormous pressure. Try and put yourselves in their shoes. The phone ringing non stop from 7 30am til close plus rude people at reception. I have nothing but praise for them and the

I can't find any benefits or special treats from this private medical centre.
Patient is the just money for them
This is how I got the Referral from this Medical centre.
1. Meeting GP and get a test- $90
2. Test result meeting- $90 (after the meeting Dr mentioned it he is going to give me the referral anytime)
3. Phone call consultant for 2 mins to get the referral - $90 (I complained and they gave $20 off)
Also, I got the phone call from the reception again after a few days, They want to charge again $90 for mystery consultant fees. So I say I didn't have any other consultants then the reception

I needed a cyst cut away on my neck and found this clinic via google search. This is the only GP clinic that I could find in Sydney that has someone who does this procedure in-house. Dr Nicholson performed the excision professionally with zero hassle. I’m very happy to have found this clinic and Doctor and I highly recommend.

Update: haha oh my. I left this clinic a year ago because there were just too many issues.
Now, a year later it is still bad. This time, I call — 6 minutes on hold... no answer.
I call the bondi sister clinic to see if east Sydney is closed, they say no just try to keep calling.
I call again... 5 minutes on hold... reception answer “thanks for holding how can I help” “hi”.. then they hang up...”
“Try to call again... on hold for 5 minutes and gave up.”
These are the most basic things in a clinic... honestly this is the only clinic I’ve ever gone to where reception is this
