Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback reveals a mixed experience with significant variation in service quality across different areas of the practice. Medical professionals consistently receive praise for their clinical expertise, compassion, and accessibility, with patients noting responsive care and genuine attentiveness during consultations. However, reception and administrative services present considerable challenges, with recurring complaints about difficult appointment access, lengthy phone waiting times, and inconsistent courtesy from front desk staff. Prescription processing delays and disorganised administrative procedures are frequently cited concerns, particularly affecting patients with chronic conditions requiring timely medication management.

The booking experience emerges as a major pain point, with patients describing the appointment system as frustrating and complicated, involving multiple phone calls and unclear processes. Phone communication difficulties are especially problematic, with reports of long hold times, disconnections, and staff displaying dismissive attitudes. While some patients praise individual reception team members for their helpfulness and professionalism, others describe encounters marked by lack of empathy and unhelpful responses to patient inquiries.

Online services including e-consultations and appointment booking platforms receive mixed feedback, with some patients finding them efficient and responsive, whilst others encounter technical issues and confusing navigation. The practice appears to struggle with capacity management, with several patients noting that despite accepting new registrations, appointment availability remains severely constrained. Long-term patients tend to report more positive experiences, suggesting service consistency may have declined or that workload pressures are affecting current operations.

Ignored for Weeks with a Painful Lump

Very DISTRESSING encounter - the reception staff COMPLETELY DISREGARDS individuals like myself. I've been waiting three weeks just to be registered, having submitted all necessary paperwork, and it appears my documents have been carelessly discarded. I've made countless phone calls, yet no one is willing to assist me in locating the documents I submitted weeks ago. It's as if I'm completely invisible, treated like I don't matter as a human being. I'm dealing with a painful, infected lump related to women's health issues, and the reception merely promises to investigate my missing documents, but absolutely nothing has been resolved. I remain in limbo, with no callbacks despite their assurances. The entire situation is INCREDIBLY DISHEARTENING. I feel utterly abandoned with my medical concern, which is profoundly depressing. My health is deteriorating, and the overwhelming sense is that nobody genuinely cares about my well-being. The emotional and physical toll is immense, leaving me feeling completely helpless and forgotten.

Adele Made My Quick Blood Test Painless

Super streamlined process for my scheduled blood draw. The nurse, I believe her name was Adele, was exceptional at helping me feel relaxed during a typically stressful situation and skillfully drew my blood with ease, unlike previous experiences I've had. My wait time was minimal, around half a minute, before being seen. I'd absolutely suggest this location for blood tests, particularly because of their outstanding personnel.

Terrible Morning Wait on Customer Service Line

Rang up early in the day and got stuck waiting on hold for half an hour. It seemed like either another caller was getting complex medical assistance or the staff member handling the line was completely disengaged and uninterested in helping.

Frustrating Morning at Dysart Surgery

Today, I visited Dysart Surgery seeking medical assistance due to severe abdominal discomfort. At the front desk, I was directed to book my appointment online, so I proceeded with an e-consultation. However, after completing the online process, I was unexpectedly instructed to telephone the practice. When I called, I encountered a receptionist whose demeanor was extremely unprofessional. She was condescending and critical, scolding me for struggling with the online booking system and attempting to patronizingly "educate" me about the process. Ironically, her own attempt to demonstrate the booking method resulted in the same unsuccessful outcome. When I confronted her about her inappropriate attitude, she offered a perfunctory apology and attempted to justify her behavior by citing limited appointment availability. Her conduct was entirely unacceptable and displayed a serious lack of professional courtesy and empathy towards a patient seeking medical help.

Caring doctors who truly listen and help

The medical staff at this practice are truly exceptional - I've had the pleasure of consulting with most of the general practitioners, such as Dr Ryba, Dr Hart, and Dr Criddle, and they are all incredibly compassionate and dedicated to delivering top-notch care despite difficult conditions. The thought of relocating and having to find a new practice fills me with dread.

Caring Team Helped My Mother Perfectly

The healthcare professionals at Dysart are truly exceptional! My mother, as a patient, consistently speaks highly of the doctors, nurses, clinical pharmacists, and welcoming front desk staff. Serving as my mother's medical advocate due to her language barriers, I've found the team to be incredibly responsive to any email inquiries I've sent, which provides great peace of mind. Both my mother and I firmly believe we've been treated with the utmost dignity and kindness throughout our interactions. We wholeheartedly endorse this medical practice and would enthusiastically recommend them to others.

Frustrating Phone Call Struggles at Doctor's Office

I'm awarding two stars solely because the physician is incredibly competent and provided excellent assistance. However, the administrative staff is utterly unprofessional! I've been attempting to schedule an urgent medication consultation for over a week, and each time I call, they disconnect after making me wait and explain my situation for 10 minutes. I'm planning to visit the office in person soon to see if I can resolve this, otherwise I'll seriously consider switching to a different medical practice.

Midwife, GP, or Econsult Confusion

Absolutely worthless service. I simply required a completed MatB1 form to document my maternity leave in my company's system. I used econsult, which claimed my certificate was ready for pickup. Upon arrival, the receptionist informed me it wasn't available and couldn't be processed, insisting it must be done by a midwife. If that's the case, why wasn't I informed during the econsult? I then contacted my midwife, who explicitly stated I could obtain it from my GP! I explained to the receptionist that I might breach my company's policy if I don't receive the certificate this week, and she callously responded, 'it doesn't matter'. Of course it doesn't matter to her - my stress and potential loss of maternity leave are completely irrelevant! She's simply occupying a position, wasting the tax money I've contributed to her salary! I learned her name is Michelle, and I'm determined to expose those who provide such appalling customer service!

Rude Receptionist Hung Up Three Times

I've encountered the most unprofessional receptionist behavior imaginable, and this isn't a new experience for me. This morning around 11:55 a.m., I attempted to schedule an appointment for my sick baby, who has been unwell for over a month and missed a previous follow-up. From the moment the phone was answered, the receptionist's tone was noticeably irritated, aggressively questioning why we had delayed so long. To make matters worse, she hung up on me three separate times, even when my partner tried calling. I'm left wondering how individuals with such blatant disrespect and coldness can be employed in public service roles. Consider the emotional state of patients: when someone is dealing with medical stress, the last thing they need is to be confronted with unnecessary hostility and harsh questioning. While I've never had issues with the medical staff, the receptionists consistently demonstrate a shocking lack of compassion and professionalism.

Mixed care at this medical center

The reception team is quite commendable, with about 70% delivering excellent service. However, the medical staff is less impressive, with only around 40% demonstrating genuine professionalism. Your experience largely depends on chance - if fortune smiles upon you, you might secure an appointment with a competent physician. Otherwise, prepare for disappointment and frustration.
