Last year I consulted with Dr Melissa van der Merwe regarding a procedure that was required. Dr van der Merwe is a dedicated gynaecologist ensuring that the outcome of the procedure is successful. Her administration staff and, in fact, the ambience of the Consulting Rooms is a pleasure to behold. I am so pleased I was led to Dr van der Merwe and I look forward to more 'happy hours' with her and her team.
Sadly I am very disappointed with the way Spar at Olivedale seems to have gone downhill. Their vegetables are no longer tasteful, the store lacks the variety of items their sister in Bel Airs Shopping Centre does and the lack of staff at the tills was abysmal. The poor cashiers are having to double up as packers too and this is making the queue so long, especially at peake times and over month-end. No longer a joy to shop there.
Recently I underwent a surgical procedure at Cure Day Hospital in Fourways. It is not the first time I have been to Cure and I would like to thank the staff for the way they looked after me. They were professional and polite and showed empathy too. From the Admissions to the time I was well enough to be discharged.
Recently my Suzuki was in for a rear face-lift because of a tree (the tree won). Momentum Insurance authorised the repair and I was blown away, again, by the friendly front of office staff and treated to delicious cappucinos and a lift home. Jacquiline was my dedicated Service Advisor and not only did she keep me apprised of the progress of my car, she went the extra mile for me. She is truly an asset to the Company and I wish her well in her future with Renew-It. While I really enjoyed our chats and emails I hope I only see her again under different circumstance.
On two occasions I have visited Gelmar in Randburg. The staff at Gelmar are so professional and patient with a non-handyperson and it has been an absolute delight to deal with the Company; also their prices are so reasonable. Anitah and Sinethemba were on hand and went the extra mile for me; they are an asset to the Company. Thank you, Gelmar, your store in Randburg is so well laid out and clean.
A big thank you to the Management and Staff of Matrix at Bel Air Shopping Centre who were very professional and helped me in my hour of need regarding a printer. They went above and beyond to find me a new Canon TRseries model; my old one was beyond repair.
From the time of my booking to the actual session and refreshments at Bounce the staff were very professional and very friendly. My grandson really looks forward to his fun exercise at Bounce and it is a delight to watch the professoinalism of the staff as well as the fun he has.
I wish I could give a minus to the above Company. I met with Pieter of P&L Contractors who stated that I had cost him customers because of my review and he then tried to blame the outsourced workman for the poor workmanship. However, he agreed that the shed was unacceptable and undertook to sign an Agreement to make good the repairs. Despite a date being stipulated he did not keep to his word and he advised my son that he has put his Company into liquidation. Of course, this doesn't mean that he won't open up another Company under a different name and I wish to warn the public not to deal with Pieter de Wet (I believe this is his name). He has no professional integrity. My son is now left to pay for the repairs to the shed. Should the sliding door that was not installed properly have fallen on my 4 year old grandson it could have been catastrophic.
My son was overseas and had tasked me to find a 'reputable' Garden Shed contractor. I contacted P&L Contractors and my son decided to have them build his garden shed. He duly accepted the quotation and paid and the shed was installed. However, their finishing is appalling and despite repeated attempts for them to come and inspect the poor quality of the workmanship I am still awaiting a definite response from them. These are the following defects (I have the photographs to prove them): The Fascia board has not been centered There is gap between the wall and the roof The grey painted walls are badly painted The lock on the sliding door doesn't work There is a bottom strut that is sticking out further then the wall and could be a tripping hazard I believe that for the money my son paid, these problems should be addressed immediately.
From the time we entered Bounce to the time we left my 4 year old grandson was given 5 star treatment. The staff we extremely polite and professional and the interaction with my grandson was phenomenal. This is not the first time we have visited Bounce Fourways and it will definitely not be the last. Thank you, Bounce.
