Getting to our clinic from Double Bay

About eight minutes by car down Ocean Street. Closer to thirty on public transport, because it means a change at Edgecliff.

Walking from Double Bay

Only if you enjoy the exercise. It is about 2.2 kilometres and roughly thirty minutes, and it climbs the whole way from the bay up to the Oxford Street ridge.

Good if you are out for a walk or a run. Hard work if you are not, so most patients drive it instead.

Driving from Double Bay

Head west along New South Head Road, turn left into Ocean Street and follow it up the hill to Oxford Street. Turn right, and the practice is a short way along on your right, near Paddington Town Hall, with Underwood Street running behind it. Allow extra time between 8:00 and 9:30 on weekdays, when New South Head Road and Oxford Street both slow down.

Public transport

  • Bus, then a change. The 324, 325 or 326 run from Double Bay along New South Head Road to Edgecliff Station. From the station it is a 1.55km walk, about twenty one minutes and uphill, or a train to Bondi Junction and the 333 or 440 back along Oxford Street.
  • Straight to the door. The 333, 352 and 440 all run along the Oxford Street corridor and stop by Paddington Town Hall, a short walk from the practice.
  • Honestly? Double Bay to Paddington is one of those trips the car does better. There is no direct bus, and the change at Edgecliff is what costs you the time.

Questions from patients travelling in from Double Bay

How long does it take to get to you from Double Bay?

About eight minutes by car outside peak hour, straight down Ocean Street to Oxford Street. Allow a bit longer between 8:00 and 9:30 on weekdays. On public transport it is closer to thirty minutes, because there is no direct bus and it means changing at Edgecliff.

Where do I park when I drive over from Double Bay?

Underwood Street runs directly behind the practice and is unmetered with a two hour limit, which is what most patients use. Oxford Street outside is metered eastbound until 4pm and unmetered for two hours westbound from 10am. The Gordon Car Park on Newcombe Street is paid, undercover and about five minutes on foot, and it is closed on Saturdays, so aim for the street if you are coming in on a Saturday morning.

Do you do the DEXA scan for a comprehensive health assessment, or is that referred?

The scan is done by an imaging provider, and your GP arranges it as part of the assessment. For Double Bay patients that part is usually on your doorstep, so the imaging happens close to home and only the consult and the results are in Paddington. Reception will tell you what to book and in what order.

Can I get to you from Double Bay without driving?

Yes, though it takes a change. The 324, 325 and 326 run along New South Head Road to Edgecliff Station. From the station it is a twenty one minute walk and it climbs, or you can take the train to Bondi Junction and the 333 or 440 back along Oxford Street to the Paddington Town Hall stop.

Do I have to live in Paddington to become a patient?

No. Most of our patients travel in, and a good number come from Double Bay, Woollahra, Edgecliff and Rose Bay. Most of our doctors are accepting new patients, so you can choose one and stay with them.
