Patient feedback reveals a mixed service experience with notable strengths in clinical care but significant operational challenges. Medical professionals consistently receive praise for their attentive listening, compassionate approach, professional expertise, and clear communication during consultations. Patients report feeling genuinely understood and well-supported during appointments, with doctors taking time to address concerns thoroughly and provide reassurance about their care.
However, reception and administrative services present recurring difficulties. Patients frequently report challenges with appointment booking, extended waiting times on phone lines, and dismissive attitudes from front desk staff. Issues include difficulty accessing appointments, lengthy delays when calling, and unhelpful responses to routine inquiries. Additionally, patients describe problems with prescription handling delays, operational inefficiency, and communication breakdowns regarding appointment confirmations and test result follow-up.
While the practice demonstrates strong clinical continuity and responsiveness from medical staff, improvements in reception courtesy, appointment availability, phone service responsiveness, and administrative organisation would significantly enhance the overall patient experience. The contrast between positive clinical interactions and negative administrative experiences suggests that operational processes require attention to match the quality of care provided by the medical team.

Efficient test but zero communication from doctor
I managed to secure a prompt appointment and swiftly undergo my blood work, yet I've been left in the dark, with Dr. Alexander providing zero communication or direction about my results for what seems like an eternity.

Exceptional care during pregnancy and beyond
I enrolled at this medical practice in November 2024 during my third trimester of pregnancy. Since then, I've attended both pediatric wellness checks for my baby and my own medical consultations. Throughout the past 9-10 months, my interactions have included: - Consultations with 4 different physicians - Multiple vaccination appointments with the primary nurse Each medical professional I've encountered has consistently demonstrated excellent qualities: they arrive well-prepared by reviewing my triage notes, display genuine warmth, conduct comprehensive examinations, and excel in their respective roles. After becoming familiar with the triage form process and understanding the optimal times to complete paperwork or contact the practice, everything runs seamlessly. I've found their communication straightforward and their scheduling remarkably punctual. There was one isolated scheduling mix-up, but the staff handled it professionally, offering a prompt and sincere apology while quickly rectifying the situation. My appreciation for their service.

Compassionate care from a stellar healthcare professional
A brief expression of gratitude to Malaika today. She demonstrated intelligence and empathy while handling my inquiry. Recognizes that patients are frequently stressed and not at their most composed when reaching out to a medical office.

Prescription nightmare at local pharmacy
Absolutely no sense of responsibility or prompt service. I submitted a request for a repeat prescription medication five days ago and made multiple phone calls throughout the day, starting at 10am. Initially, they acknowledged their error and promised to resolve it immediately, assuring me they would call back. However, an hour passed with no communication. Each subsequent call resulted in repeated assurances that it would be handled within the hour. My final call at 5pm was met with a promise to complete it before closing time. Their lack of urgency is appalling. The following day, when I called again, they claimed the request was in a queue but "understood" its urgency. This level of service is completely unacceptable.

Incompetent front desk ruins otherwise great medical practice
I've consistently had positive interactions with the medical staff, physicians, and administrative processes. However, the front desk personnel have been a continuous source of frustration. After submitting forms to the front desk as my doctor instructed, I called to follow up and discovered they had misplaced them. Their dismissive response of "you'll just have to redo everything" seems to be their version of an apology, which falls far short of professional customer service.

Compassionate care that truly helped my recovery
I consulted Dr Mendonca, who organized all the necessary diagnostic procedures and set me up with two rounds of physiotherapy. I truly appreciated feeling heard and cared for throughout the process, and I'm grateful for the support.

Frustrating service with zero helpful appointment booking
Repeatedly, I've tried to schedule appointments for my children, but I'm consistently redirected to the walk-in clinic. I'm left wondering about the purpose of this general practitioner's practice.

Great service and smooth medication process
Recently transferred from Longrove Surgery. When it comes to medication prescriptions, they've been quite prompt and streamlined. Optimistic that this level of efficiency will extend to all aspects of their service.

Terrible service and unprofessional medical experience
I spent more than 60 minutes waiting despite having a scheduled visit. Once called in, the physician was skimming through my medical records right in front of me. They ultimately informed me that I would need to return for an additional consultation. The entire experience felt far from satisfactory or well-organized.
