Receptionist kept passing me to call back tomorrow
Around seven months ago, I experienced what I felt was a diagnostic error at Hillside that had serious consequences for my health. Following this incident, I decided to pursue private health insurance. I currently have a shoulder issue and have been calling Hillside repeatedly requesting a referral, only to be repeatedly told to call back the next day. I also contacted my insurance provider, who advised me to request an open referral from the practice. When I made this request, the receptionist informed me that no one was available to assist and asked me to ring back in four days due to a bank holiday period. Overall, I found the experience frustrating and felt the service fell short of expectations. In a follow-up note, I received my open referral approximately a week after submitting this review. I felt that the staff should have possessed better knowledge of available options than I did as a patient. I was also disappointed that no apology was offered for the earlier situation or the difficulties experienced in obtaining the referral.
The clinical team provided good care, however the administrative staff seemed uncertain and provided inconsistent information, which was quite frustrating.

Attempting to reach the practice by telephone results in lengthy wait times, which is quite frustrating.
