Mediplex: Medical Complex and Clinics in Antigonish, NS

never had a good experience with the doctors there. They act like they do not care! spent 2 minutes with me and dismissed me. So rude, if you can avoid, avoid this place! The only good thing about this place is the front desk stuff! Very friendly people.

I was very happy that I was able to be accepted as a patient several years ago. This is a great clinic with excellent staff and outstanding Doctors and Nurses. They also offer evening clinic appointments which is incredibly helpful. The reception staff works with me to ensure my appointments are within my abilities and scheduling thus meeting my needs as well as the clinics scheduling. They could not be more professional! I have traveled around our country quite a bit and have had various Doctors in associated small offices and larger Multi-Physician clinics and this "is one of the finest". Kudos for doing it right!

This place is impossible. Calling often doesn't go through even during their scheduled hours. Making appointments is incredibly difficult and they never seem to be open during their scheduled hours. I have not had a single good experience with this clinic.

Excellent Clinic. I was not able to find a Family Doctor when I moved back to the area. So anytime I need to see a Doctor I call the after 5 number and make an appointment for that evening. The Doctors and staff are top notch and the waiting times are minimal compared to the Emergency Outpatients departments that are in the Antigonish/Pictou county area. I really think we need more clinics like this to help the public at a time when we presently have a shortage of GP's and very unhealthy wait times to get to see a Doctor in some of our Hospital Emergency departments. (***New Glasgow*** for example)

This practice should be reviewed by the Nova Scotia Ministry of Health. Almost every time I call to try to get a spot at the night clinic, I'm told there are no spots left or that they are extremely late at night. Their assigned time to start calling is 5:00 p.m. I call at 5:00 p.m. and often get through in a minute or two. How can all the spots be filled in a minute or two? I also find it very odd that I am told there are no spots, mention it to a co-worker and they say they always get in, because the receptionist is a friend of theirs. Several times, the co-worker has even said they had a spot that very night where I couldn't get one for my child. They called that morning. That is unacceptable. Even more unacceptable is that the clinic is, to the best of my knowledge, supposed to refer patients with a family doctor to go to their family doctor, or the emergency room if it is urgent. Several people I know have family doctors, the clinic is aware of this, and takes them anyway. Including the co-worker who is friends with the receptionist. Meanwhile, people like myself who are still waiting to get a family doctor, after 5 years, are being ignored. It is also unacceptable that if a person does get a referral, to a doctor in this clinic that is accepting patients, be made to interview with the physician. This is to, "...see if the doctor is willing to take you on.", according to the receptionist. These doctors are paid by public funds from taxpayers, like you and me. If anything, the patients should be interviewing them.
