Here’s what patients across Australia are saying about their experience.
Could not have been easier. I'm 66 years old and I have very limited internet skills and often experience difficulty using it. Thank you for making it so easy.
John A
I'm tempted to give a 5 star rating but I need to complete my consultation before making that judgement. The experience so far has been wonderful. The questions are easy to answer and it doesn't take too long to complete. Extremely customer-friendly!
Amy P
The service I have received so far has been excellent. From filling out the online forms to booking an appointment, everything was very easy. The doctor and nurse were very helpful, responsive and friendly.
Nick A
Very easily accessible, clear needs and helpful on resources and information.
Tom G
I've just received my first order today, just 1 week after my first telehealth appointment. Really simple and straightforward process. So far couldn't ask for better service.
Sally S
Simple, straightforward, and (happy to say) much cheaper than the first time I went through this process, years ago.
Sandra N
Alternaleaf is so easy to use. I had a consultation booked within 10 minutes.

Amazing, Dr Mathew was really lovely and helped massively. Every step taken by Alternaleaf has been very professional and reassuring. Thank you also to Mr Mutlib who did my screening and was also amazingly kind and helpful.
