A good experience alround, no stress.
5 days later my cat is fully recovered from his ìnfected wound.
The reception staff are always very pleasant.
I have never in all my life known such a rude receptionist. This is a person who is suppose to represent front of house in an industry that requires warmth and compassion but instead treats you indignantly. Aside from being rude in general, there have been stand out instances when this receptionist has been really difficult to speak to. One time this receptionist overcharged me and when I raised a query regarding this I was belittled and then ignored. My husband had to call and rectify the issue over the phone. Another time my 17 year old daughter tried to collect a repeat prescription for one of our dogs and was badgered to pay a final invoice after our insurance paid out whilst simultaneously being told she was not old enough to collect the medicine. If that is the case, then surely she is also not old enough to be dealing with financial concerns? My daughter left in tears, embarrassed that this receptionist had spoken to her in the way that she had, loudly in front of a waiting room full of people. There was also an incident where this receptionist rudely demanded I paid over £3000 despite the fact our insurance company had paid the clinic already, and when I emailed proof that the money had been paid there was no apology or anything. In fact, there has never been an apology. But it is not these misunderstandings that are the issue. It is the way in which she has spoken to us every single time we have had to speak with her. When I finally addressed my concerns with this receptionist over her rude tone and the fact that she had made my daughter cry, she practically laughed at me, and told me she wouldn't speak to me. She was completely uncaring that she had made somebody cry. How can you work in such a sensitive environment and be so cold and dismissive?
Another much kinder and professional receptionist on duty at the time listened to my concerns, apologised and has arranged for somebody to get in touch and I wish that each time I have visited in the past I would have had the pleasure of speaking with this receptionist (or any other receptionist for that matter) instead.
