Terrible service causing dangerous medication delays

ZERO STAR!!!! SHOCKING SERVICE On February 12th, I visited the clinic last Friday regarding a shared protocol for my RA methotrexate administration. Despite being told they have two admin staff, it appears no doctor has even glanced at the protocol letter, which was sent months ago. The receptionist claimed they urgently emailed the letter, but when I called today, suddenly there's no trace of the letter or protocol—absolutely nothing. This medical practice is absolutely unbelievable 😳! How can they consistently fail so spectacularly? It's completely unacceptable to keep patients waiting for critical medication and give them the runaround. Now I'll have to personally deliver the letter I was copied on because they can't get anything right whatsoever. OM...G!!! The service is terrible. I understand being busy, but their patient access is a nightmare—no same-day appointments, no callback option, just endless engaged tones until appointments are gone. I called struggling to breathe and was told by a receptionist I couldn't have an inhaler—since when can a receptionist make medical decisions? I received zero guidance about getting help, despite being sick for ten consecutive days and deteriorating. Eventually, 111 advised me, revealing that doctors keep appointments for such referrals—information I was never told. 111 immediately sent me to the hospital, and now I'm at Bardoc because they believe I need medical attention. I am absolutely disgusted by this practice's service.

We are sorry that you've had a bad experience with our surgery. Thank you for you feedback. We are sorry you've found access to appointments online to be sporadic. We try to give online access to half of our available same day appointments, but these do unfortunately get used very quickly each day. Regarding our phone system, we removed our queuing system due to complaints from patients about being cut off. The current system is failing everyone (patients and staff), but we are having to work with the system we have. We are having a new phone system implemented soon (currently half way through installation). Regarding your presenting issue with feeling breathless we will look into this. I'm sorry that this hasn't been looked into sooner. If you could, please email us with further information. Email is [email protected]
