While there was considerable juggling of spaces with Doctors moving from room to room, the kitchen being re-located, and the front door moving around several times, everyone took it in their stride, resulting in a beautiful new space for patients.

Choosing the Right Adelaide Hills Medical Centre
Choosing the right Adelaide Hills medical centre is crucial to ensure you have access to the care you need. When selecting a clinic, you should consider several factors, including location and reputation. Ideally, you should choose a facility close to your home or workplace. This will reduce the travel you need to do and avoid unnecessary stress.
In addition, you should look for a clinic that has an ample parking area. This will help you avoid problems with traffic congestion and parking. You should also consider whether the clinic offers physiotherapy services.
