Fantastic experience: Exceptional care and support from Dr. Sugantha and her team” I am truly grateful to Dr. Sugantha and everyone at her clinic. She has not only provided excellent medical care but has also supported me emotionally during a very tough time in my life. Dr. Sugantha listens with so much patience and empathy, and she makes sure you feel heard and understood. Her guidance gave me confidence and strength when I needed it most. The staff are also kind, respectful, and always willing to help. I always feel comfortable and cared for whenever I visit. Thank you, Dr. Sugantha and team, for going above and beyond.

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of this clinic. Dr Sugantha & Dr Madan the husband and wife team who run it are not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled doctors, but they also lead with integrity, warmth, and a deep sense of ethical responsibility. Their leadership shines through in every aspect of the clinic—from the calm, happy atmosphere to the genuinely friendly staff who treat you like a person, not just a patient. If you’ve been there a few times, they greet you by name—it really does feel like the “family village” their name suggests. They offer a wide range of specialties too, from babies and pregnancy care to travel medicine, skin checks and everyday health needs. It’s a one-stop clinic with heart and soul. What’s even more impressive is that they’re also a teaching facility. They generously pass on their incredible knowledge and high standards to up-and-coming doctors, giving the next generation of practitioners the best possible start. I’m so glad I found this clinic and recommend it without hesitation.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr. Madan for seven years, and I feel truly blessed to have him as my doctor. His unwavering care, support, and compassion have made a profound difference in my health and well-being. Dr. Madan takes the time to listen, explains things clearly, and always ensures I feel supported. He is truly an exceptional doctor, and I couldn't be more grateful for his dedication and kindness.
Fantastic experience: I think it's been about 9 years that I've been seeing Dr Sugantha, and even though I've moved to Nth Qld I still make my appointments to see her when I'm in Melbourne. And I travel from werribee across town to Carrum Downs to do so. And I will continue to do so for as long as I'm able. There's more to being a doctor than just prescribing beds, and Dr Sugantha and her staff, along with Madan provide something more than just a diagnosis of issues, there's a professional and comfortable feeling of knowing they care and you are in good hands. I cannot speak highly enough of this practice, there are a lot that could learn from it.

Fantastic experience: Easy going practice with dedicated GPs. Easy access and parking. Highly recommend.
Negative experience: I needed help and went to see a doctor. Took my DVA card in and was requested paperwork that was not needed in order for my appointment. I'm very familiar with the process, having seen many doctors and done this method DVA had told me to follow. Yet this client thinks otherwise. Very bad experience.
Fantastic experience: Dr Selina was lovely and took the time to really listen. The reception staff are nice but can’t hear what you’re saying due to the COVID safe plastic screen. So difficult to communicate through this. I wish there was another option

Fantastic experience: Very professional and knowledgeable GP
Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff and doctors, always well taken care of here
Negative experience: My experience visiting this place today is that it was over priced. They charge $31 on top of circa $45 bulk billing payment they get from the government. I would absolutely have gotten the same consultation at a bulk billing doctor that doesn’t charge the extra money. Nothing special here, mediocre at best.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I are the patients with village family medical centre in Carrum downs since 2016! They have lovely and really friendly staff and doctors too ! Specially Dr Femi , he is so caring and respectful Dr with great knowledge of different area ! My wife is paraplegic from last 6 years and had 4 surgeries for her spinal cord but every time we go to Dr Femi he knows what to do before we even go to any surgeons and he always give best advise in a such a positive way which make my wife feel really comfortable to speak to him for any advice before going to specialist! And also staff are really lovely and they show really good energy every time when we walk into the centre !
Fantastic experience: Fit me in at short notice, my doctor was kind and patient. Will definitely return. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: My family and I have been a patient of Dr. Sugantha for 11 years, always receiving excellent service. We have always found the care provided by the team to be of the highest quality and we have developed a strong sense of trust in their doctors and staff. The practice offers a comprehensive range of services that meet my family and my healthcare needs, and the doctors and nurses have always been kind, professional and attentive to our concerns and questions, as well as making it easy for us to access and manage our healthcare. I feel that the way the practice is managed has always shown how much they care and respect their patients. We have always felt heard and respected. This is invaluable. Thank you Dr. Sugantha and the Village Family Medical Centre team.
Fantastic experience: Dr Sugantha is very caring and thorough with me. Nothing is a bother to her and she takes the time to listen. Also Dr Madden and Sumah are wonderful.
Negative experience: Terrible customer service. Were extremely hard to deal with when trying to transfer information to a new doctors clinic. Told to come in and sign a consent form, so did so. Then when no information had been sent through, we called up and was advised we had to pay $2 per page of information being sent across. Perhaps advise EVERYTHING that needs to be done when initially at the clinic rather than wasting people’s time.
Fantastic experience: All staff helpful and efficient
Fantastic experience: My experience with Dr Jacob has been excellent. I've gone from dreading visiting my GP to wanting to better my health with the advice I've been getting from her. I've switched from my childhood GP and I'm confident that I've made the right choice.
Fantastic experience: absolutely brilliant service
Fantastic experience: Well organised, not overcrowded, the doctor was really good.Thanks.
Fantastic experience: This Medical centre is really good . Dr Wendy is so caring and attention to detail. Reception ladies are awesome.!!
Fantastic experience: Village family medical centre are the best clinic I have ever had the pleasure to attend. They listen and care about their patients and Dr Maddan saved my life, finding something that most doctors would have simply passed off as something minor.The doctors are fantastic with my family and my children who have special needs and they are happy to attend due to the nurturing and caring approach. We trust the doctors 100% and although we adore our family doctor, Dr Maddan, we know if we can’t see him, all of the doctors are wonderful and we will get the best possible care. Every doctor takes the time to explain each step in simple terms and are reassuring. I can’t speak highly enough and words are not enough but my family really appreciates the time and care you always give us. Highly recommend +++++
Fantastic experience: Receptionist, very courteous and helpful and really went out of her way to help us. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and helpful staff and Doctors. Will definitely be back (well hopefully not but if need be ) Chris B
