Ellen Pye Review of Adams at La Trobe

I visited this clinic, back when I lived on campus at La Trobe university.
Upon making my first appointment, I arrived to be greeted by dismissive staff. I waited for half an hour before getting to see my doctor. Upon going in I was asked what I thought was wrong with me, rather than asking what brought me there today.
I had come in for a female health checkup, as I have ovarian cysts which need to be monitored regularly to make sure they are not at risk of bursting. I have had these check ups many times before at my old GP's clinic and was fine with what it entailed.
But during that appointment, I was bossed about, had my body touched in unneccessary places without warning or consent and treated in a patronising manner, before being given a misdiagnosis and sent off for blood tests.
I had always had good experiences with doctors before this visit and am usually fine with physical examinations, even if they are uncomfortable, because I have been treated with dignity and respect.
Coming home from La Trobe Medical Centre, I felt violated. No one should ever be treated as I was here. I recommend you find any other clinic than this one to get treated.
