I visited Aster Clinic International City and had an overall average experience. The clinic is clean and well-maintained, and the reception staff were polite and helpful during registration. The doctor was professional and took time to explain the condition clearly, which was reassuring. However, the waiting time was longer than expected, and the overall process felt slightly slow. While the facilities are good, improving appointment management and reducing waiting time would make the experience much better. Overall, it’s a decent clinic for general consultation, but there is room for improvement in efficiency and patient flow. The myAster app also needs improvement, as I’m unable to view any of my previous lab reports or prescriptions.
We booked an appointment online and arrived at the clinic exactly at the confirmed time. Upon arrival, we were informed that there was no appointment in the system and were told to wait. The receptionist provided very poor customer service. He did not make any effort to assist, explain properly, or even maintain basic eye contact. He continued looking at the computer and repeatedly said “you need to wait,” without trying to help or offer a solution. The only explanation given was that it was a “website glitch,” with no apology or accountability. We specifically traveled from Aster Hospital Al Qusais branch because the online system showed an available slot, and we trusted that booking. Customer service seriously needs improvement. Even if there is a technical issue, patients deserve to be acknowledged, spoken to respectfully, and made to feel valued — not ignored while standing at the reception. Very disappointing experience.
This is my third time visiting this branch, and the experience has been frustrating every single time. Even for a simple consultation or routine medical test, the wait is incredibly long. After making you wait for ages, the staff often say they can’t find your profile, can’t verify your insurance, or don’t know how to process your request. Then you’re asked to wait even longer with no clear solution and make you leave!! For a healthcare clinic, the lack of organization and efficiency is unacceptable. After three visits with the same issues, I can honestly say I would not recommend this branch.
Great service and very well-managed. I didn't have to wait long to see the doctor, which was a huge plus. Especially staff nurse Sr.Benny is friendly and professional, and the medical care provided was top-notch. A highly reliable clinic with great facilities
The front desk staff at the Pediatric Department were very friendly, professional, and helpful. They made the registration process smooth and were attentive to all our questions. Thank you for the excellent service and warm welcome.
