Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience with the practice, with significant variation in appointment access and reception experience. Many patients report difficulty securing timely appointments, with some describing lengthy waits spanning weeks or months, phone booking inefficiency, and challenges reaching the practice by telephone. A minority of patients experienced straightforward appointment scheduling and praised the responsiveness of the service. Reception experience divides opinion, with some patients noting courtesy and helpfulness from front desk staff, whilst others reported discourtesy and unresponsiveness.

Medical care and clinical interactions receive consistently strong feedback across the reviews. Patients frequently describe doctors and nurses as compassionate, attentive, and thorough in their examinations and diagnostic approach. Communication about test results and treatment options is generally praised as clear and supportive. The practice environment and modern healthcare systems, including e-consultation platforms, are noted positively by several patients.

Some patients raised specific concerns about individual clinical encounters, including perceived lack of empathy during certain consultations and issues with procedural care. A small number of reviews highlighted operational challenges such as reliance on outdated communication methods and prescription management processes. Despite these concerns, the majority of feedback emphasises professional competence, genuine care, and a supportive approach to patient wellbeing across the medical and nursing teams.

Tough recovery after routine vaccination experience

I've consistently been satisfied with the medical practice's service throughout the years. However, after receiving my flu and covid vaccinations last Friday, I feel compelled to share my experience. Initially, I endured two restless nights due to severe pain in my left arm where the flu shot was administered, which finally subsided by Sunday. Subsequently, on Monday night, I suffered the most intense sore throat I've ever encountered, which kept me awake for most of the night. Then, on Wednesday, I experienced another sleepless night because of a relentless, persistent cough that continues to plague me, now accompanied by nasal congestion and sneezing. While I want to emphasize that these symptoms are not the fault of the medical practice, I believe this information might be helpful feedback for the vaccination providers.

Terrible service and endless wait times here

I've encountered significant issues with this medical practice and have decided to seek care elsewhere. While the reception team and nursing staff are delightful, my interactions with my GP (Dr Harrison) have been consistently frustrating. The wait time for phone consultations stretches beyond a month, and securing an in-person appointment seems virtually unattainable.

Exceptional care from amc's amazing medical team

I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for the entire AMC medical team, particularly my wife [Barbara] Joy Mitchell's GP, Dr Emma Archard. The reception staff consistently demonstrate exceptional helpfulness, warmth, and professionalism, even during peak busy periods. They invariably follow through on commitments to gather information and return calls, offering tremendous reassurance. The prescription management team is equally outstanding. The nurses who have attended to Joy have been compassionate and displayed remarkable patient-centered care. We both firmly believe that Dr Emma Archard represents the pinnacle of family medical practice in our combined decades of experience. Her approach is remarkably compassionate, making each patient feel uniquely valued. Her diagnostic method is impressively comprehensive, exploring all potential connections and considerations with meticulous attention. Treatment discussions are conducted with gentle collaboration, ensuring patient comfort and understanding, never feeling pressured. Dr Archard's commitment to truly hearing and comprehending the complete spectrum of a patient's health concerns is extraordinary. Simply put, she is unparalleled! Given the immense challenges facing healthcare professionals, this practice's team delivers a level of service that is truly exceptional.

Life-changing healthcare with compassionate professionals

Dr Archard and her staff are absolutely exceptional. Their compassion is remarkable. They demonstrate incredible thoroughness and always make time for me, even with a packed schedule. Where other medical practices failed to address my concerns comprehensively, she approached my health holistically and successfully resolved an ongoing issue. Her communication is precise and her treatment approach is carefully considered. Her listening skills are outstanding. Given the immense challenges healthcare professionals currently face, it's truly incredible that they maintain such a high standard of care - delivering a service that is simultaneously effective, empathetic, and professional. My deepest gratitude!!!!!

Better health care at adelaide medical centre

During my recent visit to Adelaide health centre, I found it significantly superior to Shepherds spring in Andover. The facility was remarkably more efficient, pleasant, and well-organized for patients, from the convenient car parking and spacious waiting area to the exceptional performance of the single receptionist. However, I did encounter a notable drawback with the doctor I saw, who demonstrated a complete lack of empathy and patient care. When my name was called, the doctor stood in the doorway and clearly observed my considerable difficulty in rising from my seat. After three strenuous attempts to stand, it was a compassionate fellow patient who ultimately came to my assistance - not, I might add, the doctor, who left a terrible impression on everyone present.

Fantastic GP practice

I’ve had to have multiple interactions with my Gp practice over the last 2 years and they have always been fabulous. I am always able to get through on the phone and am usually offered an appointment immediately or within an appropriate time frame for my complaint. The staff are fabulous (receptionists, nurses, allied healthcare professionals and doctors). I really would recommend this practice. I feel they go above and beyond and often surpass my expectations.

Caring staff saved the day for me

I experienced a health issue recently... The morning front desk staff was exceptional, handling the situation professionally by coordinating with the physician. The doctor promptly called me back, and we resolved the matter effectively. Their approach was empathetic and considerate, and I never felt hurried or dismissed during the entire process....

Compassionate care amid challenging medical navigation

Scheduling an appointment was incredibly challenging and time-consuming - however, Dr. (Kate) Elliott was absolutely outstanding. Although she needed to refer me to another specialist (regarding Cancer), her empathy and professional approach were truly remarkable. Delivering potentially distressing medical news without being able to provide immediate comfort must be an incredibly difficult task.

Exceptional healthcare with compassionate and attentive staff

The team at Adelaide provides exceptional service that consistently impresses me. Their staff are unfailingly polite, whether you're communicating via telephone or in person. The medical professionals demonstrate genuine care, carefully hearing patients out and offering straightforward, compassionate guidance without any hint of criticism. Andover is truly fortunate to have such an outstanding medical practice. It's evident that the significant transformations they've undergone have been incredibly successful, and the results of their dedicated efforts are clear. My sincere appreciation goes out to them ❤️

Amazing healthcare team with exceptional service

I've had consistently excellent interactions with AMC staff, who have demonstrated professionalism and a genuine commitment to patient care. The electronic consultation system is remarkably efficient, and they excel at scheduling timely appointments when urgent medical attention is required. During my recent private healthcare journey for specialized procedures and specialist consultations, AMC has been incredibly supportive, seamlessly collaborating with external medical teams to ensure I receive comprehensive care. Special thanks to Dr Carter and Dr Pandey for their outstanding support and dedication.

Terrible service and unprofessional medical care

1 star is actually too generous for this establishment. Dr. (Radeka?) - I hope I got her name right - seems more focused on scheduling multiple appointments than providing attentive patient care. Her approach feels impersonal and rushed.
