Located in Riverwood, Riverwood Medical was founded by three visionary doctors, Dr Elton Chen, Dr Kypros Koutsoullis and Dr Richard Yip who after a long time working in their own private practices decided to come together as a team. Their vision was to create a Medical Centre in which patients would have a wide range of medical and allied health services available in one place.

They were hoping to have more comfortable facilities, patients would appreciate a new “patient centered” approach and if any of the doctors were away there would always be a doctor available to look after them

Patients in our Centre can enjoy and access modern equipment and a modern environment with new doctors and support staff who are willing to provide excellence in service.

We are open 6 days per week and our operating hours are as follows:

Monday to Friday: from 8:00am to 6:00pm

Saturday: from 8:00am to 1:00pm

We provide a range of allied health services, we can mention here the following:

• Physiotherapy
• Dietetics
• Psychology
• Hearing assessments

All our medical services are bulk billed and if you have private insurance cover you can use this in order to pay the gap for allied health services, physiotherapy and dietetics for example.

We kindly invite to come to our center and enjoy a first class quality customer service. If you are a new patient, please make sure to read the section what to bring to your first visit, under FAQ and please, feel free to fill out the electronic “Patient Registration Form”.

We will be waiting for you.
