stacyamy Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hi, we are currently in the process of arranging a medical. Has anyone had experience with any mcr doctors good or bad? Any recommendations? Also we are goin on a 457 do we have to pay for meds ourselves? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebourvellec Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Have you been requested to do a pedical for your 457 visa? As only certian occupations require a medical. Unless the employer is going to refund medical cost - you will need to pay for them yourself - which is around £300 adult - £100 child (with xray will cost more).

Thanks Hi just being cheeky and hoping you will get some useful replies as we also have to book our medicals and Manchester is the closest. Unfortunately we have to pay ourselves (family of 5!!). We need to have them done in the next two weeks - any useful advice please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cki2011 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hello We had our medicals done in Manchester last August. 2 adults and 3 children which cost us just under £1,000. The doctor was fantastic and very good at what he does he was very thorough but made us feel very relaxed we had X rays down stairs in between the examinations/questions so it didnt take long at all about 90 mins in total and he was very good with the children we would highly recomend him. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteD Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I used Dr Brendon Smith at 11 St John Street, Manchester, very pleasant fellow. Pretty simple test, can you see, can you hear, can you cough, does your heart tick over - job done. I think it was just over £200 for the examination and x-ray for a single adult. All very straight forward and easily done, took three quarters of an hour and they sent the results directly to DIAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cki2011 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hello PeteD Yes Dr Brendon Smith is who we saw he is very good and i would highly recomend using them very proffessional by the time we got home on the train all the docs where uploaded and passed within a few days.

stacyamy Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hi Yes I need a medical my partner and children dont but I do due to my complex health matters :err:. Ive booked with medmigration for thursday, a Dr Million, £260, dont think I need an x ray tho. Im resigning myself to the fact he may request further specialist reports. Keeping everything crossed. Hate waiting! Good luck to everyone in the same boat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacyamy Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Thanks guys really put my mind at rest Its a 501 medical, anyone any idea what this would involve? Are there different kinds of meds? Just want it over and done with now :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal2 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I saw Dr Smith at Bridgewater, no problems whatsoever, anple parking next door at Asda, just check you need to have medicals as not everyone on a 457 needs them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal2 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I have a medical condition, so your medical will be referred most likely, maybe if you have a specialist report to take with you if needs be, but most get through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpodom Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Dr Million at Manchester was great for us, highly recommended Is that his real name, or is it what he earns from doing medicals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bchickpea Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 We used medmigration and they were lovely, fitted us in next day and very much put us a ease.The dr we had used to be based at john street in deansgate- he remembered doing my medical in 2006 but said they had moved as needed to upgrade their premises! Myself,hubby and baby. He told us there and then that he would pass us on medicals just needed results of bloods and xrays - which were on diac system 2 days later. Really nice as i was worried about my weight(being 7 weeks post baby!) and husband was worried about BP. Cant recommend them enough! just book an appt out of rush hour, they're on the main route into manc - our appt was 0920 and took us an hour and a half longer than usual to get to manchester!

thebokke Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 We used the Spire clinic in Manchester - cant fault their service, plenty of free parking and have Saturday appointments too. We paid £260 per person if I remeber correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiganlad Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Is that his real name, or is it what he earns from doing medicals? Both - I believe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiganlad Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Dr B smith Manchesrter, nice bloke, we had full meds done here, straight forward, good luck guys Yeah, very nice bloke. He gave me a "10 out of 10" on the spot. I think that he was being generous actually. I'd have given myself 9 and a half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
