Clinics by Design help you navigate the ins and outs of a stressful process with ease. I would highly recommend Neale and his team We greatly appreciated the time and effort they spent on every small detail. They explained everything and created easy to understand drawings and renderings along the way, helping bring our ideas to life.
— A/Prof Andrew Teichtahl, Arthritis & Rheumatology Centre
From our first encounter with Neale, it was evident that Clinics By Design's values matched Chroma Dermatology's - an ethical, personalised, quality service in which highly knowledgeable team members work collaboratively to deliver the best possible results. Through their experience in the medical building arena, Neale and his team were able to navigate inevitable challenges and handed over an exceptional centre that fitted the brief. Our team and patients are delighted to be in a such a beautiful space.
Thank you again to the entire team at CBD

We are proud of our allied health-care clinic and would gladly recommend Clinics By Design to anyone considering a future project.

—Nepean, Health Care
Clinics by Design were excellent to deal with. They listened and turned what seemed a formidable task into an enjoyable and positive process. They delivered on every commitment they made to me. We are delighted with the outcome, and look forward every day to walking into our clinic. It has a great casual and welcoming feel but at the same time very professional and modern. Most importantly, our pet owners, patients and staff love it.
—Dr Anu O’Reilly, Melbourne Eye Vet
Despite our site having design difficulties, Clinics by Design made the process stress free. Their extreme professionalism, guidance, expertise, creativity and attention to detail is what makes them different from other companies. The result is a beautiful and functional clinic.
—Dr Edwin John, Maroondah Dental Care
We were seeking to Fitout a premium location in Collins St, in the Melbourne CBD. Clinics by Design responded imaginatively to the brief to plan and Fitout a difficult space. They provided a full service from design, to build through to furnishing. We are delighted with the outcome, and look forward every day to walking into our offices.
— Dr Howard Webster, Dr Face
It was a pleasure working with the team at Clinics by Design through all the stages of our project – concept, design, permit applications, build, and Fitout. Clinics by Design felt like a second family. All aspects of the clinic including access, compliance, workflow and practical aspects were discussed and reviewed many a time, in order to ensure everything made sense. Their willingness to finesse the smallest things, such as choosing just the right shade of white or grey, means that we have a truly beautiful clinic that is a pleasure to work at and our patients love. We would recommend Clinics by Design without hesitation.
— Dr Anita Lasocki, Practice Principal
From the minute I spoke to Neale Cooper about a potential building site for my new clinic, I recognised that his intimate knowledge of the medical build game blew his competitors out of the water. Having never built before, I placed a huge amount of trust in Neale to deliver a project of an incredibly high standard, to budget and to time. His vast experience and ability to design and execute my vision was excellent. This was an enormous undertaking, particularly during a global pandemic. Clinics By Design rose to the challenge however, and surpassed my expectations. I have no hesitation recommending Clinics By Design to anyone looking to develop a medical clinic, and would use CBD again several times over.
—Dr Ryan De Cruz, Director, Southern Dermatology
Clinics By Design are an exceptional and professional team who strive only for the best for their clients. I had a vision for my new osteopathic practice, which was not only brought to light by Neale Cooper and his amazing team, it was shone beyond my expectation. My new clinic is incredible and it is without a doubt due to the passionate work of all involved at Clinics By Design. From Neale the director, to Sam the site supervisor and of course Cheryl in administration, I was supported and concisely informed along the entire journey. I would have no hesitation in recommending Clinics By Design to anyone aspiring to achieve a professional, modern, sleek and unique practice that is tailored to their vision and goals. I cannot thank Clinics By Design enough for their work and am grateful to have experienced this career milestone with them.
—Dr Timothy McCormick (osteopath), Director / Owner Ranges Osteopathy and Performance
I could not be happier to have had Neale Cooper and his team at Clinics By Design complete the design and Fitout of our premises at Coolaroo. It was a complex process requiring co-ordination at multiple levels with many frustrating situations. Neale took full control. He was measured and gave us full confidence. Neale guided us through the whole intricacies of the process with full professionalism and humour. Not only do I have no hesitation in recommending Neale and his team to colleagues, I have already done so! The finished product we have is fantastic and the compliments we have received are gushing! I would have no hesitation in engaging Neale and Clinics by Design on our next project.
—Dr Deepak Haikerwal, HeartWest

—Cheryl Ye, Director, Speech Ease Speech Pathology
In 2021 Clinics by Design helped me renovate a previous GP clinic into a specialist clinic. The existing practice was on a single dwelling in Ashburton with a medical permit and 8 car park spaces. The project involved gutting the entire inside, re-stumping, new ceilings, knocking out most walls, repainting the exterior facade and landscaping. Neale and Kostas were very knowledgeable, helpful and understood the needs of the clinic. The crew were professional and courteous. Emails and correspondences were promptly attended to. Planning took 5 months (floor plan drafts, choosing materials, contracts drafted and agreed upon after legal assessment, getting council approval), and the Fitout took 4 months. The clinic was operational on time, and all of this was achieved in a pandemic year. The finishing was excellent both inside and outside. Clinics by Design understood the IT, aesthetic, furniture and lighting requirements of medical clinics. The staff and patients are all very happy with the end result. While I am certain they will not be the cheapest Fitout firm in Melbourne, the fact they are competent, efficient and can deliver reduced a lot of hassle for me as a busy specialist. For this reason, they have my unreserved recommendation.
—Dr. Brian Ko, Director, Glen Iris Cardiology
Starting a new business was a stressful time for my wife and I, but once CBD got involved it made a world of difference. Joining us for a plethora of potential site visits, Neale and Cheryl were there helping every step of the way. Then enter Kostas, Matej, Max, and the entire team at CBD for the Fitout! They all took such care and pride in their work and that's evident in the final product. We can’t thank the team enough and we’re so grateful CBD allowed us to be a part of their family these last 6 months.
—ReGen Wellness
We engaged Clinics by Design to provide a full end-to-end design and delivery for our new practice building and that is what we received. We were guided through the design process, with great suggestions of usability and guidance on medical practice standards. Engagement with their team was always easy and was overall a great experience. We are very happy with the result for workflow and usability. Neale’s understanding of building and addressing challenges is exceptional and our end result is high quality. We would definitely use them again which is a sign of a good result.
—Steve McDonald,Complete Skin Specialists
Clinics by Design helped us achieve a beautiful space for our business with exceptional attention to detail and quality.
Neale’s knowledge of every aspect of the requirements for a medical fit out was outstanding.
The provision of a one stop shop for all aspects of the design and build allowed us to complete the project in a timely manner which is so important in our industry.
Highly recommended.
—Joanne S, Flourish Health Group
The Clinics by Design team took us through all stages of a full veterinary hospital refurbishment and extension. From design, permits, compliance and build, everything was well thought out and the process was stress free. Materials used and work done is of a high standard and follow up on any issues is prompt.
I highly recommend Neale and Cheryl and their team of people. We love our new clinic. Thank you.
—Moorabbin Veterinary Hospital
Clinics by Design provided a start-to-finish service from planning and design to completion of the project. Neale Cooper, director of Clinics by Design, was hands on from start to finish. His insight and attention to detail reflected experience and expertise in the operational requirements of a medical centre. From the design stage, through the construction to the post-handover period, Neale and his team remained responsive to any queries or issues that arose. Neale’s design and construction team executed the project in a timely manner. Unexpected issues that arose were dealt handled with a minimum of fuss, and variations due to unexpected changes were reasonable. Administrative matters were also smoothly handled by the administrative staff. Overall, the service provided by Clinics by Design enabled us to get through a potentially stressful project in a smooth and reassured manner, with an excellent outcome. We would unreservedly recommend their services.
—Yong and Tim, Founders "Balwyn Health Medical Centre”
We recently completed a major dental practice renovation with Clinics by Design, led by Neale Cooper. While the project ran significantly over time and budget, I want to acknowledge both the challenges and the positives. The building threw up plenty of unexpected issues—leaks, asbestos, and previous poor renovations—but Neale’s experience and problem-solving approach were invaluable. He never defaulted to “it can’t be done”—he always looked for a solution, and that gave me confidence throughout the process. Rob Littlejohn, our site manager, was excellent—reliable, proactive, and calm under pressure. He played a big part in keeping things moving and ensuring the quality of the build. We had to stay operational and see patients through the renovation. That was tough, but Rob and the team did everything they could to minimise disruption. Their tradespeople were respectful, professional, and easy to deal with—far from the usual tradie stereotype. The end result is a high-quality renovation I’m proud of. The after-care has been great, and I’m confident the practice will benefit from this for many years to come. Despite the delays, I’m happy with the overall experience and grateful for a great outcome.
