Patients consistently report positive experiences across clinical and reception services, with particular praise for attentive listening, clear communication, and compassionate care during consultations. Appointment availability and booking responsiveness are frequently highlighted as strengths, with many patients noting prompt access to same-day or next-day slots and efficient virtual consultation systems. Reception staff are widely commended for their courtesy, professionalism, and willingness to go beyond standard assistance.
However, several service gaps emerge across the feedback. Delayed test result review represents a significant concern, with at least one patient reporting unopened test results remaining unaddressed for nearly two years. Phone access difficulties are mentioned by multiple patients, with some describing consistent redirection to voicemail or digital channels rather than speaking to staff directly. Prescription handling issues are also noted, including instances where pharmacy requests were reportedly ignored, leaving patients without medication. Additionally, one patient reported a marked decline in service quality following pandemic restrictions.
A small number of reviews describe unprofessional reception conduct and inadequate follow-up care, including one account of dismissive behaviour towards a disabled patient. These negative experiences contrast sharply with the predominant pattern of welcoming, efficient, and patient-focused service that characterises most feedback. The practice demonstrates particular strength in comprehensive consultations, prompt communication of test results, and supportive care coordination, though systemic improvements in telephone accessibility and proactive test result management would address identified gaps.

Negligent care leads to devastating health consequences
Be cautious: this medical practice routinely sends patients for tests, but they won't proactively review the results unless you specifically request them to open the letter. This is a serious warning sign. In my case, the test results remained unopened for nearly two years, and by the time they were finally examined, it was already too late.
