Travel Clinic North Shore

I highly recommend this clinic. Dr Hoosen has 30 years' experience and gives great advice. The consultations are patient led and there is no pressure at all. He even provides his email address in case you need medical advice while travelling. All staff are really lovely, understanding and validate your concerns. I was so impressed with the experience.

After getting what I thought was the complete suite of vaccinations (for travel) from my GP, I discovered that the GP could not provide a rabies booster which Dr Anwar was easily able to provide with no hassle. I should have gone to the Travel Clinic in the first instance as Dr Anwar is the specialist and it was disappointing to establish that my GP clinic was insufficient. Dr Anwar provides great explanations and advice and I would definitely recommend his services for ALL travel requirements.

My husband and friend, who I am traveling with, went to the travel clinic in Newmarket and had a very different experience for exactly the same kind of appointment as me. They had a far more useful and informative consultation than me. I will now have to make another appointment (elsewhere) to get the information and medication I need for my travel. While I did make an appointment for yellow fever it was because I did not know better, I did understand that the doctor would only talk about yellow fever - however he could have explained that I should make a further appointment to have a more complete consultation about the areas I will be travelling in.

Very surprised that people have given this clinic 5 star reviews, but upon a second look many of these 5-star-ers have only posted one review historically - so take their authenticity with a grain of salt. Aside from the condescension (which tbh isn't a big deal because it says more about the class of the person), Dr Hoosan gave me the impression that he didn't care about me but cared a lot about the money he was getting. From some of the other reviews, it's clearly a pattern. It's not terrible service but was a little lacking professionalism-wise. I will say though, to their credit, the high prices you pay go towards speedy communication outside the appointment, so this service may be for you if you have urgent travel plans. //Edit: re aforementioned professionalism, disappointed to see the team (I'm hoping it's not the doctor himself) spends more time savaging and humiliating each negative review and disclosing a disconcerting amount of patient confidentiality than taking on feedback for patient care. An American article on The Verge titled 'Writing Google reviews about patients is actually a HIPAA violation' gives quite an enlightening discussion on the inappropriateness of including details about patients' health in response to negative reviews: "In this case, the dentist (a healthcare provider) publicly shared a patients name, medical condition, and medical history (personal information). As a result, the office was fined $50,000." NZ likely has similar medicolegal systems in place.

I was struggling to find a clinic that conducted an urgent PCR test when I came across travel clinic via a google search. The receptionist recommended I contact the doctor directly, and when I did, Dr Hoosen was very responsive. Despite my abrupt and urgent request, he immediately emailed me a few minutes later that a slot was available. My mother went through a comfortable PCR testing procedure and informed me that Dr Hoosen was very gentle and caring. We received the test results the next day. The invoice was high, but it was worth the service we received.
