We recently moved to this practice as we LOVE the service Dr. Marta Matic provides. I can't fault her care and knowledge. Very accommodating with our newborn and genuine care.
The doctor I saw Marta Matic was excellent and had a friendly presence to her. She showed genuine care towards my child. I highly recommended Rouse Hill Family Medical Practice.
Good doctor, very gentle and patient with children, and very kind. Excellent practice, will always recommend for family GP.
