WHAT OUR PATIENTS
ARE SAYING

Telecare has made accessing specialists and telehealth appointments so much easier. It’s amazing – our doctors can come in on an appointment with their patients and specialists, something they never could have done if they had to physically leave the clinic. It makes it so much more collaborative.

I had an appointment with Dr Alexey Sidorov this afternoon. I wanted to write to say thank you. Dr Sidorov was kind and compassionate and I really appreciate being able to use the Telecare service to get treatment. I live in regional Tasmania and would have had to wait over 12 months to “maybe” get an appointment.

After having successfully undergone a [procedure], I wish to convey my sincere appreciation to Michael Zhong for his thorough and prompt input and empathy. He was indeed swift, thoroughly professional and caring in all our interactions for which my wife and I will be forever grateful.

Patient
This is going to make things so much easier for our demographic. We have a lot of low socio-economic patients, so the option to bulk-bill is great. And it will make appointments easier. I recently had to take my child to four review consultations with a pediatrician on the mainland, taking a day off work each time, just to receive test results.

Thank you, you're the only one in the end that pushed to help me despite my annoying emails. I'm sure you deal with so many walks of life and so many personalities and its a real credit to you that still do your best to meet the needs of the patient.

I had a really good experience using Telecare first the first time recently. Mum was in a gruelling long wait in ED on a weeknight. By 3.00am, nothing had changed.
