Reviews of After Hours Medical Clinic (Ophthalmologist)

Pierre Martin

New Brunswick Health Care Administrative System is horrible! When you go to a private clinic of a doctor located on Mountain road (in Moncton) and you present the Medicare for your kid... And they are not sure the medicare is the kid card... you know there is problem with the administrative system. Charging 30.00 to a poor mother so a six years old kid can see the Doctor. It’s wrong! Plan wrong! Shame shame shame ! When our politicians could make sure the Department of health can be fair to everyone? First thing to do: Have the picture of the client on the health care card... Or is it too expansive to do? And to the clinic located beside Shopper Drug Mart! To refuse the card on the purpose you want to prevent fraud... I think there is an ethic and moral issue. I won’t leave it at that...

Never in my life have I ever been refused help with my medications. I have offered to have my medical records faxed over to prove, PROVE, that I have been on the meds that I need to function properly in the world for over a decade. Instead I get told that "Oh sorry, we don't do that here" Then why was I given a prescription from this clinic twice for the meds?! "Well you have to see your family doctor" I'm on the wait list to get one. I explained that I was off my meds due to them running out and me trying to call everyday to state I need to see a doctor but getting told the clinic is full. I explained that I'm suffering from insomnia and the ability to do my job. They couldn't give a care, nothing. No help. Never have I felt like I was being treated like a inconvenience rather than a person in my life. Never. Avoid at all cost. You are not human to these people, you're a number.

My daughter had a sore throat and fever had an appointment for 11am as called in early saw Dr Jules N Melanson, he was great, had a prescription and diagnosis within 15 minutes. It's great to have these clinics when you need to see a dr and unable to get into your family dr. Thank you

Matthew Morrison

Tried to see Dr. for possible ear infection, told to got to small town ER for quicker service. Covid was the excuse. If you can’t see patients, close the place and stop sucking up tax payer money for turning people away. Another glaring problem in the bloated health care system that’s a gong show of epic waste.

Uma Isv

I had a great experience with this clinic today. The doctor gave the diagnosis very accurately and took my worries away(turned out I had shingles, not meralgia like I thought) . Thank you! I very much appreciate your help!

Joy Pierce

No one ever answers the phone there. Called about 50 times last week, and voicemail over and over. Calling today for my son. Said the phone lines open at 1pm, and it's 1:20pm and last weeks message still comes up. Been like this for a number of years. Tired of it. (Sept. 8/20) Called again today because my Dr is full and got voicemail again. Surprise surprise!!! The voicemail said they will reopen September 8th, and it's now Oct. 8th. Can't even be bothered to update the voicemail message. Done with this place.

Gros Nel

I called at 20:40 just for advice if I could get some sleeping pills(which I only took once in my life &79 years old] It is the BLOOD thinner that I took @ 1800 & all I wanted to know if they could or could not be taken with this …

criss gallant

CLOSE THIS PLACE! SEXIEST!! DO NOT GO, REPEAT DO NOT GO HERE! Chick on the phone telling me I can't see a doctor.. Anyone know we're I can complain about the treatment I received, don't want anyone to have to go threw this. She says there privately owned but I find that hard to believe we're does there funding come from then..

Bernice Fallon

It’s 5 pm on a Sunday and it should be open until 9 . It’s closed. No signs to suggest why? Awful when you need a doctor. Called ahead and line was busy.. couldn’t leave a message. Unreliable! Do not count on them.

Brandon Croft

No one ever answers the phone here, its a shame that it has the best doctors but you have to spend 3 hours trying to book an appointment often to find out that its full even tho you started calling at 9 am

Amrutha Sindhu

You get to see the doctor within 15 mins of your arrival. But the doctors here dont greet you..instead straight away ask how can i help you and they dont look at you, they quickly write some prescription and they are out. I have been here several times and i am done with them.

Edwin Velez (Eddy)

What a joke, my wife made an appointment a day before, the day of the appointment they cancelled and postponed for the next day, I take her there and there was no one, the they said ther were open but not even calling. And they were the ones that scheduled even the time. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME BOOKING HERE.

Nadia Hebert

Yes, there’s waiting time to book an appointment, or to see the doctor, but I never had to wait for more than 20 minutes or so, which is better that any ER I went to. Staff is straight to the point because they’re busy, but always courteous. I recommend this clinic to anyone.

Darren Pelletier

Been there twice. Nice and quick service WHEN you do have an appointment. Sadly calling there to even talk to someone is terrible. I called about 20 times for 2 days each. No one picks up the phone. Your best bet is to go there yourself and book an appointment in person.

Cynthia (wifey93)

I have been calling for days to try and make an appointment for my daughters possible pneumonia and they continually won’t answer their phones. Not pleased at all with this clinic

Elizabeth Fonceca

I was able to make an appointment within 2 days and the Dr. was very informative and easy to talk to and answered all my questions with reassurance.

Jeff

Odd how they have the correct phone number yet never tried to called to cancel when the doctor didn't show. Reception didn't even try to apologize for the lack of a call. At least we were able to rebook same day. If I could I would rate 1.5 star.

Lex Solo

Their phone lines say they open at 9am but for a month straight I’ve been calling at least 15-30 times a day to try to get through and they send you straight to voice mail… just trying to renew a prescription.

Bottles

Always goes straight to voicemail, but you’re not allowed to leave a message? I understand things are crazy right now with Covid or whatever but honestly at least let me leave a callback number :( The receptionist was quite nice, though, so thats good, but they sent me to a different clinic to get a referral and i found out over a month later my referral was never sent. Kinda irresponsible if you ask me, so if I die from this skin cancer we have our culprit to blame.

MinorityMonster

Nearly impossible to get an appointment, only one receptionist and she will turn you away for pretty much any reason. It's always way too packed.

phoenixfire58

Tried calling for 15 mins, kept getting an automated message, went to the clinic which says it opens at 9am, the girl is sitting at the front desk ignoring the phone calls. Unbelievable! Would not recommend anyone wasting their time trying to get help here!! 0/5 stars!

stéphanie Caissie

Can the doctor give you sick leave?

Megan Prosser

Ive called over 50 times from the time the line opens and i never seem to get threw. Ive went in herd the secretary saying they are booked when no one was even in office. Ive also waited an hour after my appointment was booked to see a dr with a 10month old baby. They are very unorganized and not there for the patients at all. They need better medical clinics in moncton considering there is so many people without family drs.

Shoko Leger

Receptionist is screening the patient incorrectly. I explained my symptom, she said in my case doctor has to asess in person but because of the red phase her doctor is not seeing anyone thus to call other clinic or go to emergency. I asked if doctor can at least call me back as I think it's a sinus infection and needed saline spray prescription. She insisted doctor needs to see me. I called other Clinic explained exactly the same way, the receptionist put me through to talk to doctor who prescribed me the drug over the phone.

Jordan Gillis

Excellent experiences at this clinic. Very impressd by the care at this facility.

Ryan Wills

Do NOT use this clinic, they are rude, pompos they want the easy money, soar thoats, infected ears. My daughter has acne they will not take her because there is a follow up, can you believe it. As i probed on I asked so you are a private clinic, she confirmed she also added they can pick who they want to see! CAN YOU IMAGINE if you said that to one of your customers, clients... Its time we make these private clinics take responsibility with thier after hour clinics. How dare they say they are a after hour clinic. My past 40 years going to a after house clinic is: I have no family doctor, I am sick or injured but do not need a hospital. STAY AWAY try the superstore clinics.

Ryan Steeves

Did answer phone couldn’t leave a message waste of time calling

Jenna Porter

Lines were busy for an hour. When I got ahold of someone she put me on hold for 5 minutes. I explain my reason for needing to see a doctor. She proceeded to tell me that, "the clinic does not have time to deal with people like you." She gave me a different number to call. I think everyone deserves to speak with a doctor regardless of the reasoning. I am almost certain that the receptionist DOES NOT have the right to refuse that. Worst experience ever.

K. Swindley-Young

My first time using an after hours clinic. My own Dr couldn't see me and suggested I try an after hours clinic. I called this one around 1:30pm and the receptionist was lovely. I described my symptoms and she agreed I did need a Dr for this. She gave me an appointment for 4:30. The Dr was running a bit behind, but not by much. He was quick and efficient and I was in and out in 15 minutes.

Pierre Marc-André

This clinic might as well not have a phone line. Nobody ever picks up. I called 50 times over a period of 2 days for my daughter, across various times during the day, and nobody picks up. What a failure of a clinic. Don't even bother.

Chris Parkinson

Went there because of a neck injury told him on the phone that I would possibly need short term papers filled out reception told me no problem talk to Dr. when I get there once I got there and was assessed by the doctor and went back to reception a different receptionist told me no we do not fill out short term papers I said I told the receptionist on the phone that’s why I was coming in because I couldn’t work with the existing injury she continue toRefused to fill out my paperwork.I don’t care if you’re publicly or privately funded you still have a responsibility to your patients especially when you tell them one thing on the phone and another once they get there.

Leeann Milburn

Never had any issues with this location. Always fast service, sometimes have to call a couple of times but not as bad as calling a doctors office (I love my doctors receptionist, but she can get busy). Great help always !

Martin Savoie

Receptionist is more then useless since they answer 1 out of 50 calls(PHONE IS ALWAYS BUSY OR VOICE MAIL KICKS IN). Also not sure why they give out scheduled times cause they quadruple (yep you read that right) book every 15 minute bloc so you end up waiting 1 to 2 hours every time..by far the worst clinic in all of greather moncton area

Amanda Audit

I have nothing but great service here. The staff are kind and polite, the Doctor’s are helpful. More often than not things run smoothly and you can be in and out of your appt. on time. Thanks!

Manuela Barrientos Arenas

They have a pretty bad service Requested an appoiment for yesterday they canceled and re scheduled for today , we went for the appointment and it was closed and it was impossible to leave a voice message

Lucas Smith

Imagine sending someone away when they have popped every blood vessel in their face . Honestly no idea who runs this place but it’s an absolute joke. Staff is ridiculous, no one answers the phone, it’s pathetic. An embarrassment to the medical field really.

Kristen Hawley

I'm from the states and they were able to get me in same day. They were fast affordable and friendly

Angie F

So discouraged. I've gone here a few times, and I honestly don't know why I bothered calling back the last time I tried. The doctor I've always had was always nosy (trying to find out about things that had nothing to do with the reason I …

Lindsay Cairns

I called right at 9 am on a Sunday and the receptionist took my information and my reason for calling. She asked me to email over a picture of my issue and said the doctor would call me within an hour. The doctor called at 45 minutes and we …

Chris Rogers

The wife called Thursday to make an appointment. Said "schedule wasnt out yet" and they would call the next day (friday) never got a call, cant book appointment until friggen Tuesday now. She NEEDS her birth control, we just had a baby not planning another one for a while. Cannot depend on this place at all

Kelsey Grant

First time at the clinic, the wait time was great. In and out within 20 minutes but the downside to that seems to be that they're more worried about getting as many in and out as fast as possible than really listening to what's wrong. Specifically told the front desk when asked what medications I'm allergic to and the doctor prescribed it anyway.

J A

I've always been happy with the service I got. Quick and efficient until today. I got in for my "scheduled" 2:30pm didnt see the doctor till almost 3... No big deal... it was my experience with the doctor.. He listened to what was going on. Checked the usuals and said no infections. Now I am a larger woman and I am usually asked about diabetes and things related to weight. However when this doctor asked. I said can that be causing this issue. He said "No, but I have time and you need to hear this" so he proceeded to give me a lecture about being overweight. This doctor didn't know me, didn't know my history and I truly felt like this showed a lack of professionalism and I walked out feeling personally attacked. Not good...

Sarah Cochrane

It's impossible to get a person on the phone! I started call at 9am right to 6pm and only ever got a voicemail. Just a little tip to whom it may concern, IF YOUR FULLY BOOKED SAY THAT ON THE VOICE RECORDING!!! save us the time and effort so we can try some other place. ????

avmh

there's a reason this clinic has over 100 1 star reviews. The receptionists alone are enough to keep people from wanting to seek medical attention here, and that's IF you can get through in the first place. Ruth was horrible to deal with and made me feel like asking for an appointment was a huge burden, and then proceeded to lie and say that the doctor would have to call me, which made no sense because I was calling to make an appointment to see a doctor...In the background I could hear whoever the other receptionist was giving the person on her line a hard time also. I ended up waiting until one of the other locations opened and called there, I've never been one to leave bad reviews but this experience was horrible and if you're in a profession dealing with people at their most vulnerable time you should at least pretend to enjoy your job.

Sebastian Whalen

One of the receptionists here does not know how to do her job. I've been told I had to go to the emergency room for a routine prescription refill only to have the emergency doctor call the clinic to not-so-politely tell them to do their job and then send me down there to get the prescription. I couldn't get in touch with my doctor lately so I went again today for the same prescription and the same person once again told me that they can't fill it and I have to go to emergency.

michael nichols

I have visited this clinic three times and had nothing but the best treatment from everyone, from the front desk to the Doctors I've seen, all professional and efficient. Thank you for your courteous, caring attention.

Christine Cooke

I made an appointment with them for 1:15 and they denied that I called and booked one I have been going there 3 years straight and this is the first time I have ever had a problem service as been bad there

alice white

Extremely frustrating. I called about 20 separate times this morning to try to book an apointment, the phone never even rang, at right to voicemail. Finally go all the way out there nadia they're booked. Needed to study anyway, so I asked if she could call me if there was a cancelation, I dont care if theres no garanti. She refused. So I guess I'm missing a day off work tomorrow that I cant afford because the rash I have all over my body could be contagious. This isn't the first review of this kind I've seen either.She recommended the emergency... that's what walk ins are for, to avoid unnecessary cases in emerg.

Courtney Osachoff

Worst experience I have ever had at a clinic. I was rushed in and out. Doctor didn't even give me the chance to ask questions or ask for a note for work. I was told it was "viral" and to go home without him even examining me. I'll never return. I'd rather sit in emerg for 15hrs.

Noneofyour Business

Absolute worst clinic in Moncton. The clinic opens at 9 but the clerks dont pick up the phone before 11-12. Had to physically drive their to book an appointment later that day multiple times.. Plus they've both got horrible attitudes and they double book every single 15 min block they have. Just pathetic really
