Disappointing decline in care and compassion
The medical facilities at Alkrington and Junction have significantly deteriorated following the retirement of the previous partner physicians. Unlike Dr. Thomason, who was attentive and patient, the new partner GP comes across as dismissive, condescending, and uninterested in truly hearing patients' concerns. This approach has made medical appointments feel like an anxiety-inducing experience. In a particularly troubling incident, a letter was drafted regarding a vulnerable family member that contained inaccurate information and was not grounded in their actual medical documentation. After maintaining a long-standing relationship with this practice for more than two decades, I've concluded it's necessary to seek out a different healthcare provider.

Convenient scheduling and friendly personnel. The only drawback is the limited parking area.

Complete waste of medical professionals. I've visited this practice three times regarding my hypertension, and they've done absolutely nothing to address or improve my condition.
