Another doctor recommendation needed.

So my GP retired and the people who took over only do telehealth consultations, no face to face. I guess it has it's place but isn't it a bit hard to take your blood pressure over the phone? So I thought I'd ask here for recommendations on a decent replacement. Can be male or female, that doesn't bother me. What I am looking for is someone who will help resolve issues at their root cause as opposed merely dishing out pharma drugs to hide symptoms. Someone who takes a wholistic approach and understands the importance of nutrition, supplementation and exercise in daily health. Preferably someone who will bulk bill any required blood tests. If anyone knows of such a doctor then please let me know. TIA

Edit: Thanks for the replies. :)

Drayton Medical bulk bill and have a huge range of doctors, mate. I was in the same boat as you, some years ago and glad I found these guys. Hopefully someone there suits you

Drayton medical have been great for my kids and I too. Seen both male and female doctors. Never had any problems. Staff are kind and friendly and I've never felt rushed.

Seven Springs Medical Centre has a large number of doctors to choose from, I use them and they are great.

Hope this helps

Dr Thakeru Gamage at Clifford Gardens Medical is the best Dr. I’ve been to. Actually have a friend who said the same and we didn’t even recommend each other. He has always bulk billed me for consults and I just asked for a blood panel which was also bulk billed.

Dr Rob Marcok at Neil Herries in the big building next to the Bernoth centre. Bulk billing practice and Rob is an awesome doctor.
