PRIMARY CARE PRACTICES
PATIENT QUOTES
I don’t write many reviews but wanted to praise the good service I receive at Kings Park Medical Centre in Hillside, particularly with Dr John Nyugen. I know Dr Nyugen takes great care with his notes, and is always very professional and knowledgeable. I stopped centres to ensure my medical needs could be carried out by him. I don’t mean to suggest he is a “soft touch”, but represents the best of a new generation of GPs. like Dr Gradisic at Hillside, I highly recommend people see him.
