Patient Experience Summary

Feedback reflects a practice with significant operational challenges, particularly around appointment access and booking systems. Patients consistently report difficulties scheduling consultations, with barriers including lengthy phone waits, unresponsive booking platforms, and staff directing patients to try again later without resolution. Reception experience emerges as a key concern, with multiple accounts of discourteous and dismissive interactions that contrast sharply with the professional medical expertise patients acknowledge from clinical staff. Phone system accessibility presents a particular problem for elderly patients unable to access digital alternatives, with some reporting extended hold times without human support.

Medical practitioners are frequently praised for their professional knowledge, dedication to patient care, and courteous clinical approach, creating a welcoming atmosphere during consultations. Several patients highlight continuity of care and the reassurance that comes from seeing the same doctor. However, these positive clinical experiences are undermined by organisational failures in appointment availability, responsiveness to patient needs, and the overall booking experience. Recent reviews indicate some service improvements, particularly regarding online appointment systems and front desk warmth, though access difficulties persist. The practice demonstrates capability in clinical delivery but requires sustained attention to reception courtesy, phone system functionality, and appointment availability to meet patient expectations across all service areas.

Rude receptionist mars positive doctor experience

The medical professionals at this establishment have consistently provided satisfactory care. However, the front desk experience leaves much to be desired. The receptionist's demeanor is notably discourteous and condescending, which is particularly perplexing given her apparent dearth of basic reasoning skills. It's a shame that such an encounter mars an otherwise competent healthcare facility.

Nostalgic critique of digital appointment systems

Ah, snagging an appointment these days! It's like you've got some sort of lightning-fast machine at your fingertips. Meanwhile, I'm stuck here with my trusty old clunker, reminiscing about the good ol' times when you'd simply ring up a real person to schedule your visit. Those were the days, weren't they? When a friendly voice on the other end of the line would pencil you in, no digital wizardry required. Now it's all about who can click the fastest, I suppose. Makes you wonder if we've really "progressed" or just traded one set of challenges for another.

Improved surgery experience: A patient's review

The recent enhancements at the surgery over the past couple of years have been truly remarkable. Scheduling appointments has become a breeze, and the online platform is now user-friendly, offering swift responses from medical professionals. While it was disheartening to bid farewell to Dr. Gami last year, as she was among the many exceptional physicians who served at both locations, there's a silver lining. I've observed a welcome consistency in seeing the same doctor for my concerns, which has significantly bolstered the doctor-patient rapport. The front desk staff deserve special mention for their warmth and willingness to go above and beyond. Their dedication to providing excellent service is commendable. I encourage the surgery to maintain this impressive standard of care and continue their trajectory of improvement.

Exceptional care: Dr Gami's outstanding service

Dr. Gami's exceptional care over the past year has been nothing short of remarkable. Her dedication to going the extra mile sets a standard that other physicians would do well to emulate. This practice is truly fortunate to have such an outstanding professional in their ranks, and her presence would be an asset to any medical team. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and expertise, Dr. Gami!

Frustrating healthcare with endless appointment delays

Scheduling a consultation here is a nightmare. Their staff consistently advises you to attempt booking again tomorrow, with no actual resolution. My recommendation is to completely avoid this establishment.

Declining medical care frustrates long-time patient

Been with this practice for over three decades. A decade ago, I would have highly recommended them, but recently their service has drastically declined. My elderly mother, who is 80, was forced to endure a two-week wait for an appointment while experiencing excruciating back pain. This is an absolutely unacceptable and disgraceful situation.

Terrible interaction with the front desk staff. Completely unhelpful and displayed an incredibly dismissive attitude. This isn't an isolated incident. The team desperately requires improved customer service training.
