Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience with significant operational challenges alongside pockets of clinical excellence. Appointment access and booking remain persistent pain points, with patients reporting lengthy waiting times for consultations, difficulties reaching the practice by phone, and frustration with non-functional online booking systems. Phone responsiveness is a recurring concern, with callers experiencing extended hold times and instances where calls go unanswered. Reception experience varies considerably, with some patients praising courteous and helpful staff while others describe dismissive attitudes and poor communication. Several patients noted that service quality appears to have declined, with some attributing this to staffing changes.

Where the practice receives consistent praise is in clinical care delivery. Patients highlight skilled medical professionals who demonstrate attentive listening, compassion, and thorough engagement with health concerns. Communication from doctors is frequently described as clear and supportive, with patients appreciating the time taken to explain treatment plans and address questions. The practice environment and facilities are noted positively by those who have visited. Some patients acknowledge that while appointment scheduling presents challenges, once seen, the quality of medical attention and care experience is strong.

Continuity of care and responsiveness to patient needs emerge as areas requiring attention, particularly around prescription management and follow-up processes. Despite these operational constraints, patients who have established relationships with specific practitioners often express high confidence in the service and demonstrate loyalty to the practice.

Compassionate care that truly makes a difference

During my husband's persistent medical challenges, he has consistently received compassionate, dignified, and expert treatment. The medical professionals at King Street, including the welcoming reception staff, skilled nurses, and knowledgeable doctors, have been exceptional. I genuinely have no criticisms of this medical practice.

Disappointing medical care that left me frustrated

Disappointing medical experience where the physician seemed disinterested and distracted. Felt like just another number on their schedule, with minimal engagement or meaningful dialogue throughout the entire consultation. Communication was severely lacking from start to finish.

Negligent clinic destroyed my child's health forever

This clinic epitomizes medical negligence and gross irresponsibility. We arrived with our child, placing our trust in the doctors' care, but their sheer incompetence and lack of action directly led to severe health complications for our child. The medical staff systematically disregarded clear symptoms and flatly refused to conduct essential diagnostic tests and examinations. They repeatedly assured us everything was "fine" when urgent, professional intervention was critically necessary. Their hollow reassurances and cavalier approach ultimately resulted in a devastating outcome. Consequently, my child is now enduring health complications that are unequivocally the result of this clinic's reckless treatment. Crucial time was squandered, permanent health damage has occurred, and we are now confronting prolonged, challenging, and expensive medical treatments that could have been entirely preventable. Even more infuriating is how the doctors attempted to conceal their errors, provided evasive responses, and displayed complete emotional detachment. It was abundantly clear they harbored no genuine concern for their young patients' welfare. I am absolutely convinced that such "medical professionals" must be held strictly accountable for their destructive actions and willful inaction. We will pursue comprehensive legal recourse, and this matter will not be dismissed. I emphatically warn all parents: do not entrust your children's health to this facility. There is no professionalism, no ethical standard, and no fundamental human responsibility. This place represents a genuine threat to life and health.

Terrible gp practice ruining my health and life

Hello, I consistently experience terrible service at this GP practice. They acknowledge my low iron and ferritin levels, and despite my request for an injection, they continue prescribing alternative treatments that only worsen my condition and leave me feeling increasingly unwell. I've reached a point where I can barely get out of bed, and I've even lost my job due to my declining health. Each time I seek treatment, they provide pills instead of referring me to a specialist for proper consultation. My life resources are diminishing, and my health deteriorates daily. These doctors seem completely indifferent to my well-being, and as a result, I've developed three chronic diseases because they failed to provide timely treatment and proper screening. Their approach is so inadequate that this review doesn't even deserve a single star - it deserves a massive negative rating.

Dangerous medical lab with careless staff and lost samples

I had a terrible experience with this blood testing facility. The staff did not wear gloves while drawing blood and failed to properly disinfect the puncture site. They misplaced my samples multiple times, causing me to wait two weeks for results. When I inquired about my test results, they claimed they had lost them. This is absolutely the worst place to entrust with your health. The personnel clearly lack basic medical knowledge. I'm forced to return to my home country for treatment because these healthcare professionals show no empathy or understanding of my medical struggles. I feel so distressed that if I hadn't planned to go back home, my condition might have worsened. The doctors are incompetent beyond belief - I've never encountered such poor medical care. This ordeal has cost me significant time and potentially jeopardized my health.

King street medical practice exceeds all expectations

I genuinely have no complaints about King Street - whenever I require an appointment, I practically secure one within just a few days at most. Any questions I have, the receptionist is incredibly accommodating, and I'm certain I must be quite demanding, yet nothing ever seems to be an issue for them. I truly cannot find a single fault with them; they are an absolutely outstanding medical practice.

Great doctors and staff at king street medical

Dr Druce was fantastic, but when she departed and Dr Stag stepped in, she was equally wonderful. She's an attentive listener, incredibly professional, and gives you a sense of complete confidence. She's truly delightful. Additionally, on Fridays, they have a physiotherapist named Tim, who we found incredibly impressive and supportive - he's definitely a tremendous resource for the practice. We want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to Tim, along with all the nurses and receptionists at King Street Medical, especially Marco and Susan Carrieri. xx
