Our Practice
We are committed to promoting health, wellbeing and disease prevention to all patients. We do not discriminate in the provision of excellent care and treat all patients with dignity and respect.
Regency Medical Clinic was established by Drs Goode and de Crespigny in 1938. We have grown from a small general practice on the then very fringe of metropolitan Adelaide to the larger, inner suburban multi-doctor and allied health clinic of today.
Originally located at Main North Road, at the site of the current North Park Shopping Centre, we have moved twice. Our move to the current location at the corner of Alice Street and Regency Road occurred 1974.
The present premises were expanded in 1996 by the acquisition of the adjacent property. A further expansion in 2007, after the acquisition of another adjoining property, allowed for the provision of a total of 44 car parking spaces and an expansion to 14 consulting rooms with seating for 56 patients.
The branch surgery at Northfield, originally housed at the rear of the pharmacy, was relocated next door at 325 Hampstead Road, Northfield 5085 and refurbished to provide 3 consulting rooms, a treatment room and reception/waiting area. Further renovations were undertaken in 2016. This branch was closed in December 2018.
The branch surgery at Prospect opened in April 2017, providing 3 consulting rooms, a treatment room and reception/waiting area. This branch was closed in March 2022.
