Patient feedback reveals a mixed experience with the practice, with notable strengths in clinical care and reception courtesy offset by significant operational challenges. Many patients praised the compassion, professionalism, and clear communication demonstrated by healthcare professionals during consultations, with particular appreciation for attentive listening and reassuring explanations of medical findings. Reception staff frequently received positive feedback for their courteous and welcoming demeanor. However, substantial concerns emerged around appointment availability and booking processes, with patients reporting lengthy waits of several weeks for urgent appointments and difficulty securing slots through phone booking systems.
Communication failures also featured prominently, including missed callback commitments, prescription delays, and instances of disorganised coordination between departments. Several patients described frustration with scheduling disruptions, cancellations, and the impracticality of current booking systems for working individuals. While some consultations were described as smooth and efficient, others highlighted concerns about continuity of care following service changes and occasional unprofessional staff conduct during phone interactions. The practice demonstrates capability in delivering compassionate clinical care but faces challenges in access, organisation, and consistency across service delivery.

Frustrating referral service with poor communication
Referred for myself and my kids in a new location, and after two weeks, I'm completely frustrated. Unable to connect via phone to get an update, and they claim it'll take five days, but I've heard absolutely nothing so far.

Compassionate care for my elderly mother's health needs
I went to the medical clinic to accompany my elderly mother for her routine checkup. Kerry at the front desk and Rebecca, the healthcare professional, were incredibly supportive and sensitive to my mother's specific needs. Given that she is 82 years old, has hearing difficulties, and struggles with vision, they demonstrated remarkable compassion and patience. Both of these staff members truly embody the kind of empathetic and caring approach that makes healthcare a more comforting experience.

Disappointing and unhelpful medical care experience
Consistently disappointing encounters. While the midwives and nursing staff have been excellent, they appear to be external to the actual practice. During my postpartum six to eight-week examination, the physician seemed disengaged and uninformed, which was deeply unsettling as a first-time parent. The doctor displayed minimal interest in conducting my health assessment and showed absolutely no concern about screening for postpartum mental health issues. Without exception, every interaction I've had with the medical practitioners at this facility has been thoroughly negative.

Compassionate care from amazing medical professionals
I am thoroughly satisfied with the medical care I've experienced during a recent health concern. The practice nurse, Amanda, was exceptional and saw me promptly, providing top-notch attention. Subsequently, my appointment with Dr S Wilks was incredibly reassuring, as he offered superb guidance and effectively alleviated my anxieties.

Friendly service but parking frustrates disabled customers
Brief queue upon arrival. Staff were incredibly welcoming and highly professional. However, it was disappointing to observe that all accessible parking spaces were occupied by vehicles without disability permits.

Compassionate doctor provides clear and comforting answers
The physician did an excellent job of walking me through the findings from my imaging study and recent lab work. After our discussion, I left the appointment feeling calm and confident about my health status.

Terrible customer service at local doctor's office
I contacted my doctor's office this morning about a missing prescription component. They instructed me to request the missing item, which I did. I then phoned my local pharmacy to check if the prescription had been sent, but it hadn't. When I called the doctor's office again to inquire about processing it before the pharmacy closed for the weekend, I encountered an extremely unprofessional staff member. She became aggressive, raised her voice, and when I attempted to discuss the matter, she threatened to end the call - which she did. Upon calling back and requesting to speak with a manager, I was told he wasn't available and was dismissively told he'd call me Monday. She then hung up again, leaving me frustrated and wondering how someone with such poor communication skills could be employed there. I'm now waiting until Monday to resolve this issue.

Frustrating and unprofessional medical centre experience
I experienced multiple scheduling disruptions, with appointments being cancelled and rescheduled at varying times, which ultimately led to my 10-minute tardiness. Despite spending around 5 minutes attempting to be accommodated, I was summarily dismissed. The waiting area was virtually empty, and I volunteered to wait, but was curtly instructed to reschedule. In today's world, I consider this treatment completely unacceptable, particularly after previously being disappointed twice with last-minute changes to appointments just hours before they were set. It seems the medical center operates with a clear double standard - had I arrived 10 minutes early and been required to wait, that would apparently be perfectly fine, but the reverse scenario is not tolerated.

Compassionate nurse made my medical visit stress-free
During my appointment with nurse Rebecca on July 16th, she was incredibly reassuring and provided a clear, professional explanation of everything. Her approach made me feel comfortable, and I departed the medical center in much better spirits than when I first arrived.

Confusing booking process but helpful nurse saved day
My assessment stems not from medical proficiency, but from the digital scheduling process, which I found extremely perplexing. Initially, I was uncertain about the exact location of my appointment. Luckily, I had visited the Bradleigh road facility beforehand, where staff clarified I should go to Pall Mall. On the day of my appointment, further confusion ensued. Even the nurse seemed unsure why I was present. Although a blood test was my scheduled service, typically this isn't a nurse's responsibility. Despite this, she graciously performed the test, and I was genuinely appreciative of her help!
