Dr Makki was very easy to talk to. He went into detail and explained any issues fully. My only issue with the rooms is the lack of soundproofing. I could easily hear the patient and practioner from the waiting room.

Administration seems disorganized. I had an appointment for Epworth Camberwell 28/04/2025. I received a reminder for my 28th April appointment at Knox. I rang to say I didn't want to go to Knox. I'd had a bad experience with a previous appointment. I was told Camberwell was no longer available but I could go to Balwyn North. As I was changing my appointment I would have to wait until mid June, 24th June, for an appointment at Balwyn North. One week before the appointment I received a reminder for my 24th June appointment at Epworth Camberwell. I sent a return text asking for confirmation for where the appointment was to be conducted, 2 days in a row. No reply. Then on 19th June I received a text reminder to bring a new referral from the GP. I couldn't get an appointment for GP until 23rd June. The clinic is unavailable 19th or 20th. The appointment is late morning and I have a lunch appointment that day. I rang the Respiratory reception and it was confirmed my appointment is for Epworth Camberwell which I prefer. Easier driving and easier parking. Maybe I could have kept my earlier Camberwell appointment on April 28th. It is all stress I could have done without. The change from Camberwell to Knox was done without my knowledge. Same with the change from Balwyn North to Camberwell, without my knowledge. Laurel Luce
