Reviews are mixed. Nurses are mentioned most often. One reviewer says the doctor gave accurate information during a health crisis, and another says the doctor was kind, answered every question, and they waited only a minute. Another describes the practice very harshly, saying staff could not give basic information such as when the doctor would return from leave. Appointment booking, fees and rudeness also come up. The only other doctor listing within a kilometre has no rating on Open Locally.
