  • warning
    1. Rude Secretarial Staff
    Multiple accounts describe phone interactions with secretaries as curt, contemptuous, or dismissive, including jokes about patient age and abrupt hang‑ups. These experiences contrast sharply with the clinic’s clinical warmth.
  • warning
    2. Perceived Discriminatory Practices
    Some patients felt singled out during identity‑verification requests, reporting remarks that suggested bias based on name or nationality. While the clinic cites legal requirements, the handling of these checks has caused distress for a few individuals.
  • warning

    A few users experienced delayed callbacks, unclear instructions, or overly complex prescription paperwork, leading to frustration and additional stress during treatment cycles.
  • warning
    4. Isolated Doctor Concern
    One patient specifically mentioned Dr. Sergeant’s communication style as unprofessional, describing a negative interaction that stood out among generally positive physician feedback.
  • warning
    5. Documentation Overload
    Repeated requests for identity documents at multiple stages—registration, puncture, transfer—were viewed as excessive by some, though others found the redundancy reassuring for safety.
