Patient feedback for this practice reflects a deeply divided experience. Medical professionals, including physicians and nursing staff, consistently receive praise for their compassion, attentiveness, and thorough care. However, reception and administrative services present significant challenges that substantially impact patient satisfaction. Appointment access remains a persistent concern, with patients reporting difficulty booking slots, lengthy phone wait times, and a system requiring calls at 8am that excludes those with alternative commitments. Communication barriers are evident through reports of abrupt call disconnections, unhelpful responses, and dismissive attitudes from some reception staff.
While many patients describe welcoming and supportive front desk interactions, others report discourteous behaviour, condescending communication, and lack of responsiveness to patient needs. The contrast between positive experiences with clinical care and negative experiences with booking and reception services suggests inconsistency in service delivery across different staff members and locations. Several patients acknowledge systemic pressures affecting the practice, yet emphasise that professional courtesy during patient interactions should remain a priority, particularly when dealing with vulnerable individuals seeking healthcare.

Terrible service and impossible to book appointments
Complete chaos with scheduling - appointments exclusively available at 8 am, and when you attempt to call, you're trapped in an endless automated phone system, only to be informed that all slots have already vanished. Utterly ridiculous healthcare provider.

Incompetent medical practice fails patient miserably
This medical practice is an absolute farce. From the moment I registered, I've encountered nothing but frustration. My urgent need for medication turned into a week-long battle just to secure an appointment. Their scheduling system is ridiculously inconvenient, with appointments only available at 8am—precisely when I'm stuck in work meetings, making booking impossible. After relentless pursuit, I was advised to email my blood pressure readings for a prescription. I followed their instructions exactly, only to be subsequently informed that they won't prescribe without an in-person appointment—the very thing I'd been desperately trying to obtain all week. I'm now completely out of medication with no clear path forward. Once I finally resolve this prescription issue, I'll be immediately transferring to a different medical practice.

Horrible healthcare experience with terrible staff
Completely unacceptable level of professionalism and customer care. Getting an appointment at this medical office is incredibly challenging, and the front desk staff consistently demonstrate a disrespectful and unhelpful attitude when interacting with patients.
