Patient Experience Summary

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.

Amazing care from a compassionate medical team

I recently became a patient at this medical practice, and from the beginning, my experience has been truly delightful. The staff member who initially answered my phone call on the 13th was incredibly welcoming, supportive, and empathetic. On the day of our appointment (14th), the receptionist remained equally pleasant and accommodating, even as we arrived in a hurried state. Dr. Thavarajah was remarkable - her expertise, empathy, and attentiveness were outstanding, and she genuinely paid attention to every detail of my concerns. It's disappointing to hear she'll be departing soon! The entire team is simply outstanding - I'm deeply grateful for the positive impact they've made on my healthcare journey!

Compassionate doctor who truly listens and cares

My interaction with Dr A Koziah was outstanding. He attentively heard my worries about my son and championed the pursuit of a referral. Regrettably, the other physicians at the practice have left me feeling they are less committed to comprehensive care and prompt handling of this referral. I am grateful to the Doctor, as I genuinely needed to feel understood today, and I am immensely comforted by the steps you've undertaken.

Compassionate doctor helps patient feel truly heard

I found the physician I consulted to be exceptional and incredibly supportive. The appointment felt unhurried and thoroughly comprehensive. He followed through by responding promptly the following day as he committed to doing. My only critique involves the front desk staff. I suggest they modify their greeting to include requesting date of birth along with name, rather than just demanding a name. It requires minimal effort to demonstrate basic courtesy, especially when interacting with patients who might be elderly, fragile, or experiencing health challenges. While I understand staff may encounter difficult individuals, it seems unfair to approach all patients with the same impersonal attitude.

Caring receptionist saves the day for worried parent

The medical practice's receptionist went above and beyond when my child's blood test results were missing. They diligently tracked down the paperwork through multiple email communications with the hospital. This was especially important because my child was extremely anxious about potentially needing another blood draw. I deeply appreciate their commitment to resolving the issue and ensuring we received the necessary medical information. Their dedication made a stressful situation much more manageable. 😊

Quick and easy blood test experience

I've been meaning to get blood work done for quite some time but was hesitant, assuming it would be a complicated and time-consuming process. However, Dr. Miller provided me with the necessary forms during my appointment, and to my surprise, scheduling was incredibly straightforward. I booked my test online the following morning, got seen immediately that same day, and received almost all my results today. St Andrews has truly delivered an impressively efficient and seamless experience.
