Medical Corner Doctors 237 High Street, Rangiora, Canterbury 7400

"I go here a lot for appointments. The Receptionists are always quite rude. Amazing doctors, but the receptionists are appalling and seem to have a lack of respect and common sense in some regards as to how others may feel."

"The Dr's are all fantastic but the reception staff are just rude. I get they are busy but I was hung up on twice after I was booked for an apt I did not make. The nurses are great too! It's a shame such a lovely practice is fronted by such unempathetic women. I actually have had 1 very nice receptionist over the 10 years I've been going to this practice but unfortunately I cannot recall her name."

"Had a chest Xray and blood test, nurse called me with the results and advised i had high CRP, indicating inflamation or infection, and she would get the doctor to call me. No call from the Doctor, so called and spoke to Michelle on reception, who said she would get the nurse to call me, i explained i had already spoken with the nurse, and she said the doctor would call, Michelle was pretty rude tbh. I'm now in a situation were i'm struggling to eat and drink, and do not know what is wrong with me. Pretty dissapointed with this outcome, and will probably need to go to A&E if Medical corner can't help me."

"Appalling rudeness from the receptionist when I last visited. I have a mask exemption, have been to see my doctor three times during the “pandemic”, each time without a mask and each time I waited by Reception until my doctor called me. This last time I was told “one size fits all” regarding mask wearing and I had to wear one. I refused, pointed out that on all the previous occasions my exemption was accepted so why not now when almost all the mandates had been cancelled. A few weeks after my visit I received an appalling letter supposedly from a doctor and the practice manager, this was unsigned!!! I have not been provided with any scientific evidence the masks they are forcing on patients stop the spread of anything “contagious” actually work. If they are double vaxxed, boosted and wearing a mask, what part of all that is not working? I guess removing the Perspex screens from Reception is saying that they did nothing to “protect” people either but accepting masks are useless is a step too far. All those “vulnerable” people coming into the medical centre are mixing with unmasked folk everywhere they go - supermarkets, cafes, shops, in the street etc. Stop bullying people and let each individual decide whether to wear a mask or not as is their right."

"Doctor Mctaggart was wonderful! He was happy to see my daughter even though she wasn't enrolled at the practice as no one else could see her. He even offered to transfer my daughter and i to the practice as i wasnt satisfied with my current GP. If it was just him, I'd be rating 5 stars. Receptionist let it down though. I went in to pick up the enrollment forms that had been approved and she promptly told me that they weren't accepting new enrollments. After explaining the situation to her she looked very rude and judge as she told me "well if Dr McTaggart says it's okay for you to enroll." I've never thrown out enrollment formally so quickly."
