Review titled Doctors are great receptionist are awful
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Charlie - Posted on 13 December 2023
After waiting in a cue for 45mins this morning to try and get my daughter an emergency appointment. I get a call back from the doctor to come down at 3:30pm after waiting at the bus stop the bus arrives 20mins late I stand in the rain with my unwell child for 20 mins finally we get to the doctors 15mins later then the appointment time due to the bus being late my 3 year old daughter is wet and crying she’s not well after all I am then told by the rude receptionist she won’t be seen as we are over 10 minutes late I have a moan and ask can you speak with the doctor to see if the doctor will see her I’ve waited over half hour when had an appointment before so I no the doctors can run over ! to be told we aren’t allowed to ask ! The way they speak is disgusting to people and rude ! i now don’t want to return to that doctors and I’m looking for another 1. I understand it’s over populated and can be frustrating but I to have sat in the surgery and listened to all the gossiping behind the glass while the phones are continuously ringing!!! It’s disgusting what’s a real shame is the actual doctors are all helpful and nice shame can’t say the same for the reseptionist and now have to attend another surgery

Amazing experience always. I have always had a very prompt response from the team. Never had to wait too long for an appointment or prescription. Hands down, I will definitely recommend using their services.

Review titled Phone Service problems
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by thomas Irving - Posted on 03 November 2023
The waiting time on the telephone to book an appointment can be quite long , which is just a fact of life. But when you get down to number one in the queue you do expect that you will be heard soon. Unfortunately on two recent occasions I have reached number one in the queue (today in took 11 minutes to get to that position) and then I hear the phone connect and I get cut off. Si i ended up having to drive to the surgery to make the appointment (which being with the diabetic nurse cannot be booked on-line)

I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the service you have received and we take all criticism seriously. We do have problems with losing connections at times and this can sometimes be due to the telephone system now being cloud based. We are in the process of changing our telephone provider and hope that this will also improve connections. For your information, we also now have the ability to invite individuals to book review appointments directly using a text link. You can speak to the nurse about this at your next appointment, ready for your next review. If you would like to discuss the matter in more detail please do not hesitate to contact myself or a member of my team. Dori Tillett Practice Manager

Review titled Poor service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 29 March 2023
If I have to call my gp, I have to wait about an hour each time until someone is answering me . 2 days ago I called GP Abela & partners ( chafford hundred ) . I requested to be called back by a specific doctor and called after few hours a different doctor . I explained I feel more comfortable to discuss with the doctor I know already and said ok . After never called back the doctor I requested or receptionist…. Completely ignore !!! Like I don’t have what to do with my free time
