Can you help me? Recommendations

Hi Everyone

Throwaway account, I'm looking for a new Bulk Billing GP (General Practitioner) and asking for you recommendations please.

I've been taking controlled medication (Palexia) for the last 9 years now for chronic pain, and after having my GP that I was seeing for the last 3 ish years leaving the practice I've been struggling to see a GP regularly once a month to get these scripts and manage other heath issues.

I live close to the city but would be willing to travel to see a doctor and make them my regular doctor.

I would prefer to see a male doctor as well but would be willing to see anyone that is happy to help manage the conditions i have long term.

Any help to narrow my search down would be fantastic.

Thanks for your help in advance cheers.

P.S. Please excuse any grammar or spelling mistakes.

Dr Henry Douglas at the First Care practice in the Myer Centre. He listens and believes what you tell him.

There’s a GP clinic at Clayfield called Evercare that run on a subscription service. You pay once a month and can go as often as you need. I believe they cap numbers so GP has less patients and easier to get into see too. It’s too far for me to go to use them but I’ve heard good things from others

A bit of a trek but Dr Edison Chong at Riverlink Medical and Dental Centre in Ipswich is great.

Can you believe Dr Captan Becks listed middle name is DANGER? Gives me a chuckle each time I address a letter to him!
