They should use clear signage

June 23, 2023
Dermatology. Staff has been wonderful. Reception directed me to wrong place but then I went to old building and waited for appointment and was told to go back to place I started out. Not user friendly, ended up late for the appointment. They should use clear signage for where to go in appointment link.

You better off not coming here

I had a stroke, I think if something is wrong with you, you better off not coming here. You come with one problem, they give 5 more. I was only fed breakfast, nothing else.

Easy to find a way around

June 23, 2023
Easy to find a way around. Staff are great. It’s just the waiting around for appointments that can take a while. Communication letters sent to say sorry we couldn’t reach you, you have missed your appointment. 3 or 4 letters about same appointments , duplicate appointments causes confusion as to which appointment it regards to.

Not bad

June 23, 2023
Not bad, third appointment. 2 or 3 got cancelled, said they called or texted to say cancelled. Secretary said she tried to call. Rebooked for today. Appointments are usually on time and efficient. Some of the clinics can run late, when they do they’ll say it’s due to lunch break.

I had excellent service with a major surgery operation at QE. I was in hospital for 3-4 weeks and all the staff from the cleaners and canteen staff right up to the consultants were amazing.
