Gordon Clinic

Awful experience on the phone enquiring about assessment. Receptionist accused me of being one of the ‘half of Australia who thinks they have ADHD’.I was diagnosed in the US and it saved my life. Desperately trying to find care in Sydney after moving back from the US and this woman brought me to tears on my 17th call to a clinic today trying to find a doctor.

HORRIBLE DISGUSTING clinic especially Dr RUWANTHA WEERAKKODY who is one of the most stupid, arrogant, unhelpful and incompetent doctor there is!!! HE DESERVES TO BE HIT BY A FU*KING CAR given his track record of being a very foolish and ignorant person.This doctor is a poor listener and talks over you, minimal knowledge in psychiatry and does not believe personality disorders even exist. Did not believe that I had depression when I have a history of low mood and lack of motivation which is very consistent with depression. He could not diagnose me, told me I ‘don’t have a mental illness’ when I was clearly suffering from severe borderline personality disorder and adhd. Refused to prescribe any medication and was very condescending.He was so bad that I only saw him for three sessions, after finding a better doctor at another clinic who was compassionate about my suffering and prescribed zyprexa which gave me relief, he got angry and challenged me by suggesting the medication is useless and ‘only a placebo’, when it was clearly effective in easing my anger, severe anxiety, psychological distress, and most of the other symptoms of my disorder.I would strongly advise any dissatisfied patients to submit all complaints about this doctor to the Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC).If this clinic cares about its reputation Dr Ruwantha should be fired from the job because he doesn't deserve to work here and traumatize any more patients.

Friendly staff and welcoming environment. Psychiatrist has been super helpful. Easy to get to with or without a car.

Fantastic !I cannot praise Dr Artin enough ! He has helped me for over 8 years and counting .I am a better person through his guidance and help.

I’ve only been to Dr Kumar three times and out of the 16 doctors I have seen for ADHD, she’s the first doctor to not just throw medication at me. She’s giving me mood trackers, mental health support, asking genuine and caring questions and making me feel more supported than anyone I’ve ever been treated by.I was diagnosed when I was 8 (28 years ago) and taking from test, to doctor, to doctor with zero care for my actual wellbeing. Even just sitting with her and having her help me understand my thoughts makes me feel so much better and more mindful of how my mind works.I cannot recommend her enough.

Dr. Vladimir Sazhin is an amazing and caring psychiatrist who goes above and beyond for his patients!I came in for my first consultation today, and I was quite hesitant to come in due to some of the negative Google reviews. However, the clinic is far from what has been described in my experience (I believe some of the harsh feedback might actually be about the adjoining hospital).From the moment I walked into Dr. Sazhin's consult room, I felt safe and comfortable. Throughout the session, he was such a great listener and very understanding. He walked me through possible treatment options catered to my situation and always made sure to hear my thoughts. It is so evident that Dr. Sazhin wants the best for his patients, and I'm so thankful to have spoken with him.The receptionist was also so lovely and courteous - she let me know Dr. Sazhin's clinic days for when I plan to book a follow-up visit.I'm so grateful to have been referred to see Dr. Sazhin. 100% satisfied with the quality of care that the Gordon Clinic delivers. 5/5, definitely coming back if needed!

I have been seeing Dr James on and off for quite a few years now. Both the clinic staff and Dr James have always treated me with respect and kindness.I am so glad I found out about the Gordon Clinic, they really did help and support me through some very tough times.

This review concerns that bad excuse of a practitioner Dr Ruwantha Weerakkody. After seeing him, I was just shocked and in complete disbelief. Half an hour late for the appointment. Talking complete nonsense during the session and doesn’t listen to a thing I said. Massive ego doesn’t like to be challenged. Doesn’t even realise how ignorant he really is. He even had the audacity to state that mental illness is nowhere as bad as physical health conditions - maybe you’re better off working in another speciality if you have any trace of empathy left. This practitioner’s medical license should be suspended because he is a awful person!

I can see what people are saying with these negative reviews. From my experience, I rang to book an appointment and was on hold for a while. When they finally answered I was told the specialist isn't taking any new clients and is the only adolescent specialist in their clinic. So no we can't see her and noone here can. The secretarys tone was pretty harsh/abrupt and she didnt make any suggestions as to where we can go from here. I understand theyre probably very busy, but there's no need to be what seemed rude and heartless. Especially given the situation people are in when they reach out for help.
