Excellent

Long-term care with helpful online consultation options

I have been a patient at this practice for nearly a decade and have consistently found the administrative team, clinical nursing staff, and clinicians to be highly professional. They provided excellent support when my child required medical attention during infancy, arranging appropriate specialist referrals, and they continue to provide ongoing care for my chronic health management. Following the pandemic, like many general practices, the telephone lines have experienced increased demand, and booking same-day appointments can involve waiting on the phone for a considerable period. However, the practice offers an efficient online consultation system that typically provides a response within a working day, with face-to-face appointments arranged if clinically necessary. Telephone consultations can also be booked through the online platform, and I have regularly secured appointments within a week. I believe there would be value in providing additional support to help patients access digital services, as not everyone has the necessary technology, connectivity, or digital literacy to use these systems effectively. That said, I think expanding access to online services would help reduce pressure on in-person appointment slots and make them more readily available for those who genuinely need them.
